The initial description list here is wrong. This is not a 0-30 degree bag, it is a 30 degree bag. I think they are mixing it up with Marmot's Never Summer bag. In any case, for most three-season backpackers this is all the bag you'll ever need. If you normally sleep in a tent, it is all the bag you'll ever need.

I've given my two years of pretty hard use (nearly every other weekend during the spring, summer, and early fall) and it sill is in great shape. I've given it only four stars because Marmot's advertised weight is off, but a goose down bag with a pertex cover that does everything that this one does for $179 (or $159 on sale) that holds up this well is quite a find. It compresses down to nothing in the pack and has never failed to keep me warm down to its temperature rating and I am cold sleeper. Great bag.
