For those fast paced adventures, Marmot designed the Pounder Sleeping bag, a 40 degree bag insulted with Primaloft SB and tipping the scales at just over a pound. The Pounder packs down to the size a grapefruit and will serve you well as a summer sleeping bag or a 4-season emergency blanket. Compression sack and storage bag included."

"I really like this bag and have taken it on a few trips. Packs down super-small. Mine weighs 19 oz, instead of 16 as advertised, but still very light.

ONE COMPLAINT: the temp rating is not accurate. I spent a very cold night in ~50 degree weather. Great for a summer bag, but not warm enough for 3-season."

"This review dings the bag on its exaggerated temp rating. This is not a 40 degree bag, ever. As the temperature descended through the 50s it was comfortable, so advise using when 50 is the lowest expected temperature. It is really very lightweight and packs to a grapefruit, making an excellent summer (or thereabouts) backpacking bag."

"Awesome bag if you're looking for quality and light weight. Packs down nice and small and is super-light. Haven't used it below 60°F but worked well down to there. Stayed nice and warm. We highly recommend this as a summer bag."

"I was very, very, very cold in this bag one night. The temperature was 52F, and humidity was relatively high. I was in a tent. I bought it because it was a very lightweight bag. I didn't realize it was also a very lightweight bag. I was nearly to the point of starting to shiver."

"It is an awsome piece of gear. The lightest bag of its size and temp rating, it's roomy -- I probably could get an extra person in it if they were pretty small and we knew each other very well. Plus if I realy want to I can get it in a 4. 5" by 9."

Reviewed by MaxG, Jun 09, 2006

"The lightest bag out there for the warmth/versatility factor.

Packs ultra small, about half the size of the stuff sack that's provided. Really is incredibly warm if considering how light it is.

Get a liner or sleep in long underwear, the bag is going to stick to your legs/back when things get sweaty, but I suppose that's the downfall of all bags that aren't fleece lined."
