Ever tried to make yourself a sleeping bag out of a live geese? It’s hard--the geese won’t sit still, and they really don’t like it when you try to fill them into a little bag. If you want life to be a little warmer, lighter and more comfortable, the Marmot is a far better choice than live geese, since it’s filled with pure goose down (绒毛) and has a DWR-treated (防水处理的) coating that’s as light, lasting, and packable as they come.
The Marmot features lasting protection and comfort for sleeping in mild to extreme weather conditions. Frankly, any other cold-weather bags don’t come lighter than the Marmot. If 2.5 pounds seems like a lot to you, just remember that the cookies you ate for lunch yesterday probably weighed more than that, and wouldn’t keep you warm nearly as efficiently. The secret, aside from goose down, is its vertical flow baffle(垂直挡板) design, which keeps down in place and minimizes the efficiency of the bag, keeping you warmer. To prevent the Marmot losing all its heat-keeping power if it becomes wet, the down’s been treated with down defender, which helps it function well even in slightly wet circumstances. 
Whether you’re about to take on a trip to the desert or Pacific Northwest, count on Marmot to give you the three-season performance and comfort you design. Stay cozy on your next camping or hiking trip. Choose from our selection of sleeping bags that are perfect for your outdoor life.
