User Review: Marmot Hydrogen

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

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars

I've been using my Hydrogen for over six years and I've taken it with me on many canoe camping trips, bicycle tours, and backpacking trips. (Used it for around 50 nights in total.)

I have to admit that I'm pleased with my purchase but I do have some small quirks:

- Outer fabric developed a small tear. I'll let that go because it could have been a packrat.

- Zipper is only half length. Makes it hard to ventilate and sweating in a down bag can't a good thing.

- Silicone coating in the stuffsack is flaking off in large patches.

- Temperature rating is a little ambitious. (Aren't they all?)

As you can see, they are more or less minor annoyances. If I had to do it all over again, I'd purchase the Hydrogen again for sure.
