Since working for an outdoor company in my hometown, I have gotten the chance to test out a lot of equipment. So far, one of the stand out performers has been the Trails sleeping bag by Marmot. Now, at first glance this doesn't seem like much of sleeping bag, and in reality, it isn't, but it is very useful.

The Trails is an optimal summer bag for the lightweight extremist. It packs down small (I mean ridiculously small so no need for a big sleeping bag compartment anymore), and weighs a little over a pound in both its sizes (Reg and Long). Plus the DriClime lining is soft and comfortable. Also, for thin people such as myself, it is great to add to a bag for those cold nights. Also, again, on my trip to Canada, the Trails is a great hostel and travel companion.

The Trails is an awesome piece of equipment. I'm not leaving home without this piece of equipment, so I highly suggest this product.
