User Review: Marmot Hydrogen

Marmot Hydrogen
Above: The current Hydrogen, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Design: Mummy
Fill: 900
Temperature Rating: 30
Weight: 21 ounces for us short guys

This is an extremely lightweight high quality down sleeping bag that is part of the reason Marmot continues to dominate the high-tech sleeping bag market. Materials selected combined with 900 fill down have set a new standard in lightweight camping. While not rugged enough to be carelessly ground into Joshua Tree mini-boulders, this bag is a must have for those smart enough to invest in a 5 dollar ground cloth before they throw their $300 bag out on the desert floor. Jeez, you’d think.

Uses: 25-45 degree semi-minimalist camping, hiking, when the misses kicks you out for the night and you don’t have a doghouse, sudden visits from your Army buddy.

Pros: super light weight, great warmth at listed rating, great craftsmanship as to be expected.

Cons: too little leg room as most mummy bags have, can it take more than an ounce or two to let someone cross their legs without getting ankle bruises? Cost! But 900 fill which was unheard of a short time ago is really very expensive so if you can handle the cost, get this bag.
