any opinions one way of the other on Marmot's bags?

I've heard the old 70s ones were terrific. The new ones look nice as weel

I have used a Marmot Helium quite a bit and it was a nice bag. True to temp rating for me, a little snug and the zipper was a little short for my liking. I think they may have lengthened the zipper.

I like my Helium too. I'd agree with Ed but IMO these are minor issues.

I like my Helium Membrane. Extremely compact stuff size saves room in my pack. I'm a big guy and it is just big enough at the shoulders for me (long size).

I also have a Helium/long. Great bag and light, as well.

Love my Helium. Throw in a vapor barrier liner from Integral Designs, a Bivanorak from Hillegurg and you are good to go.

My girlfriend and I love our helium eq bags. They stuff up very small and are fairly water resistant as evidenced by a recent outing.

I've used a Marmot Helium 15 degree down bag since 2008. Light, compressible, very warm but don't let that down get damp inside a bivy sack or a non-ventilated tent, burrrrrrrr! It's help up pretty good but I have had to patch/seam seal a few rips in the shell material as its pretty light.
