    Huge fan of the Marmot Elite Trestles bags, have multiple different rated bags for different trips.

    Would be making my decision on how heavy of a bag I want weather forecast dependent from those line of bags.

    I have a couple of these as well and no issues. I’m 6’5” with wide shoulders and their large mummy fits me, but it rolls when I do.

    I should add that Atmosphere does a “friends and family sale” at the beginning of the year which you get 25% off their pricing.

    Used to have a western mountaineering -5 bag when I used Hunt Dalls in the yukon. Seemed to be the only company at the time where the cold rating was actually accurate. Great bag until it went missing. Lightweight and reasonably warm, with good zipper.

    I have 3 different Valandre bags, Shocking Blue -20c/-5F, Bloody Mary -15c/5F and the Swing -5c/23F, they are an excellent bag, I picked up two of them used but new on EBay for half the retail cost.

    I’ve been using the Marmont Plasma 15f/-9c. It’s just under 2LB with 875+ fill. I’ve used it sheep hunting and on late season backpack mule deer hunts. No issues.

    I have the Nemo/First Lite Scout 30. Pretty decent to date (2 trips to the Rockies) and no issues. Wish it was a little wider but the price was right for the weight and bulk.

    Western mountaineering,

    buy once, cry once
    He's anything but a hunter.
    More like another, Rain Coast Sociopath Fraud. Living off the prevails of his chronic lies, like the rest of them...

    It's an issue, because these sociopath environmentalist's, will dilute the facts.
    To the point you or Joe public, won't know them any more..
    They count on that big time..
