User Review: Marmot Pounder Plus (Regular)

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

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Design: mummy
Fill: Polarguard
Temperature Rating: 25 degrees F
Weight: ~2.5 pounds
Price Paid: $120

I bought this bag to go on three-season backpacks in the Appalachians, mostly in western North Carolina. It's a great bag for warm nights, but it doesn't come close to reaching its 25 degree rating.

There are cold spots, and even with fleece on, I couldn't get comfortable on nights when the temperature went below 40 degrees or so. The zipper snags also.

I called Marmot to tell them about this, and although the customer service rep was very nice, she didn't offer to let me return the bag or exchange it. It's a good bag for strictly summer camping or backpacking, but I don't recommend it for chilly nights.
