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.

Marmot added 3 additional ounces of down. Doesn't sound like much but the bag now has a lot more loft.

I've since tested this bag into the mid-20's and am satisfied that @ 30 degrees I could sleep fairly comfortably (I'll use a liner below 30).

One more comment, this bag compacts into an extra small sack, making it ideal for my applications (backpacking & motorcycle camping).

I'm a "happy camper" now, but wonder how many folks purchased this bag and have the same situation I had.
