Made with a waterproof shell material and sorted 850-fill goose down for exceptional weather protection and warmth-to-weight ratio, the highly efficient Marmot Helium EQ sleeping bag protects you in temperatures down to 15 degrees, packs down incredibly small and weighs in at under 2.5 pounds to keep you on the fast and light track.

  • 850-fill goose down has insulative properties that give it the best warmth to weight ratio you can find, and the compressibility allows the bag to pack down to the size of a loaf of bread
  • Waterproof Aerolight MemBrain shell keeps moisture out of the down while silky smooth polyester lining cradles you in total comfort
  • Heat loss is prevented around the neck and head with a passive collar and Nautilus hood
  • Hood muff creates a face gasket that keeps hood drawcords away and makes the face area Velcro free for added comfort
  • Insulated draft tube eliminates cold spots; zipper guards prevent draft tube fabric from catching in the zipper
  • Full-length zipper makes for easy ins and outs
  • Stuff sack and storage sack included
  • Temperature rating: +15 degrees Fahrenheit
    • Insulation: 850-fill goose down
      • Total weight: 2 lb 3 oz (Regular); 2 lb 6 oz (Long)

roomy, light, good to 25deg, good price

"I used this bag 5 consecutive nights in temps from 28 to 12 degrees F (in tent, on snow), slept comfortable to 25, woke up cool at 20 and needed to wear down coat, booties, etc at 15. No neck collar and the zipper does grab material sometimes but releases easily. If you want the Helium, get the EQ model with a less permeable outer fabric... better chance of reaching the temp rating. Still, I wish it had a down ..." Read Full Review »

"I bought this bag for my son who is a boy scout. He loves this bag. The EQ material is great for preventing it from getting wet when two or more scouts are in a tent and condensation builds up. This is the primary reason I went with th EQ as opposed to the regular helium. The EQ has a longer zipper …"  Read Full Review »

Positives: super light weight for the warmth- the long weighs 2lb 4oz in a 1 oz silnylon sack. Great construction like all marmot gear.
