marmot arroyo?

“Interested in it. Didn't see it in the gear reviews. Anyone have any experience with it? I think this and a liner may be my bag for this winter ...”

“That is a nice bag, but it's a 3 season bag..don't try pushing it's limits too much. It's important to calculate the temp drop for elevation, (about 3* per 1000'), doesn't sound like much but makes a huge difference at 4 am.”

“i thought this was a 30 degree bag. Yo bear!”

“It is a 30 degree bag ... I thought with an insulator it'd hold out through the winter”

“I've had one for about 11 or 12 years. I think it weighs more than the newer ones, but its a great bag. It's got a lot of use.

About 5 years ago, I got a Western Mountaineering Caribou. The Caribou is now my go to 3 season bag - it's 6 ounces lighter and has a full zipper (which I like since that lets you stay comfortable at a greater range of temperatures) - but is a 35 degree bag. The Arroyo comes out when I someone with me needs a bag.”

“So you liked it?”

“I bought mine when it was a 20* semirec. bag.
It is my 1st choice of bags.”

“Keep in mind that a bag rating of 30 degrees means that it is designed to keep you alive down to 30 degrees - not necessarily toasty warm.

My Western Mountaineering bag is rated to 32 degrees, but I don't use it under 40 degrees.”
