If you want the lightest, most compressible, and most functional 15 degree bag on the market, look no further than the new Marmot Plasma 15 Sleeping Bag . Marmot is breaking records and setting standards with the new plasma series. The Plasma is filled with the highest quality 900+ goose down for an unbelievably light and compressible sleeping bag. One innovation is the vertical baffling. Latitudinal baffling can cause the down to migrate towards the sides of your sleeping bag, away from the center. Longitudinal baffling keeps the down centered over your core, optimizing thermal value. The ground level, full-length zipper allows you to control temperature and ventilation. There is also a draft tube on the inside of the zipper to decrease heat loss. The Marmot Plasma 15 Sleeping Bag has a wide, trapezoid footbox, which provides your feet the room to flex freely while sleeping. The Plasma series has used Pertex Quantum Fabrics which increases packability by 50%, and reduces the weight of standard sleeping bag fabrics by 25-50%! If you're into breaking records and higher standards, this is the bag for you. Marmot Plasma 15 Sleeping Bag Specs: Weight: 1 lb 14 ozFill: 900+ Fill Power Goose DownRegular: 6'0"Long: 6' 6"
