From CampSaver.com:
"The Marmot Arroyo is the bag that can do it all.From early spring to late fall, its the bag for almost anytime of the year.A few extra ounces of ultra high quality down extends the Arroyos range to include alpine bivvies and lightweight camping trips"

"This ultra-lightweight mummy bag features thermally efficient 800-fill-power goose down, compressing into a tiny package for three-season backpacking.

Six-Baffle Hood envelopes your head in warmth, while the Face Muff allows hood to be cinched snug without digging into your face. Down-filled draft tube backing full-length, locking zipper prevents cold spots. Trapezoidal footbox allows down to loft fully around your feet for optimum warmth and comfort. Stretch tricot baffles provide strength and durability for long bag life. Comes with stuff sack and storage bag."

"This is an update to my review of April of last year.

A few months ago I sent this bag back to Marmot for their evaluation as I felt it was not a 30 degree bag by any definition. Some of the baffles were almost void of down, I figured that couldn't be right."

"Light, high quality, well shaped and comfortable, but not a 30 degree bag.

I just got back from a trip to North Georgia where the night time temps got down into the high 40's. This is my first down bag and I felt there were cold spots where the insulation wasn't evenly distributed or became compressed because there wasn't enough down in the baffle."

"Great summer, spring, and fall bag. I am a warm sleeper, and I have used this bag into the 20s with little problem, but that temp range is pushing it. Anyways, it's a great, lightweight bag that packs small and is built well. I have had the bag for three years and have washed it twice, and it looks brand new."

"Great sleeping bag. It says that it is a 30F bag, but it could easily pass for a 20F. Very comfortable, packs down very small (just larger than a football). Used in 25F weather and was too warm and slept with the bag unzipped. The only problem is that the bag does not unzip all the way, I have a SD bag that unzips into a blaket which is very nice."

"I just wanted to second the previous review of the Arroyo.

However, I have been comfy in my undies down to less than 20 F. It's the bag I grab for all but the very coldest weather. Amazing warmth for so little weight. Buy one!"

"This bag is wonderful. I used it on an entire thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail from 3. 9. 00-8. 29. 00. It withstood temps down to 15 degrees comfortably, and after a continuous 6 months of use, the last night on the trail dropped to 28*. I stayed nice and toasty."

"This is my ideal bag. Since i only go hiking and camping int the summer, this bag provides the perfect amount of warm. This down bag is EXTREMELY compressible and very light-weight; ideal for hiking and camping. The material feels very soft on my skin."

"This is the bag for minimalist, weight-conscious backpackers who don't want to carry one ounce of goose down beyond what they expect to need. Using 800 fill down (not easy to find other manufacturers that use 800 fill), the Marmot Arroyo meets my needs for a very light bag suitable for summer use in the Adirondacks and 3 season use in the southern Appalachians."
