Marmot Eco Pro 40 Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Synthetic


Product Details

Marmot used fabric and insulation made from recycled plastic bottles to create the Eco Pro 40 Sleeping Bag, which is a better use of the bottles than throwing them in a landfill. Sleep cozily, even in damp weatherthe shell features a water-repellent finish, and synthetic insulation doesnt lose its ability to warm you when its wet like down fill does. Youll appreciate Marmots added touches, such as a stash pocket for your watch or headlamp, two-way zippers so you can provide venting for your feet, and technology that prevents zippers from snagging.

Price : $ 148.95

Lightweight Sleeping Bags Checklist

Sure It's Warm Enough? Lightweight bags are meant for use in weather between 30-50 degrees. But, remember, it's always prudent to add on at least 10 degrees to the bags rating. Thus, a bag rated to 40 degrees might only keep you warm in 50 degree weather.
Down or Synthetic? Each have their advantages. Down is less bulky and weighs a few ounces less. Synthetic costs less (usually) and is easier to dry - you can just toss it in the dryer.
Don't Forget the Sleeping Pad! A sleeping bag is useless without a sleeping pad. So, if you don't already have a sleeping pad, get one. For lightweight sleeping bags (thus used in warm weather), you don't need a super thick or winter-style one.
Ideal Uses for a Lightweight Bag. Where you know...for sure...that the temperature will stay at least 10-15 degrees above the sleeping bags rating. And, where every ounce and cubic inch of space is at a premium. Lightweight bags are often used by climbers and bike campers/travelers. For backpacking in the mountains, a lightweight bag is NOT recommended!
