<description>Marmot Col EQ Sleeping Bag:  -20 Degree Down&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I currently have a +15 down bag that I use for Spring/Fall backpacking in the mountains of NM and CO. I&#x26;#39;m considering doing some winter backpacking and was wondering which of the Marmot down bags (Lithium, Col EQ, CWM EQ) would be best.  The Lithium at 0 deg wouldn&#x26;#39;t seem to be a larger enough temperature difference to justify, and the CWM might be over kill.  So, I&#x26;#39;m leaning towards the Col EQ but, I wanted to get someone&#x26;#39;s opionion.  Also, I tend to be a warm sleeper.</description>

<description>Marmot CWM EQ Sleeping Bag: -40 Degree Down&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;How does this compare with the Mountain Hardware Ghost.  I have looked at the specifications and most of them are close to identical.  What have you heard from past customers?&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I noticed the out shell is composed of different material.  How does this affect its resistance to water and which one would be better protected?&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I am specifically looking to purchase one of these bags for an expedition on Denali.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Thanks,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Jake</description>

<description>The North Face Superlight Women&#x27;s Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Does this sleeping bag have insulation on the bottom?  It&#x26;#39;s not just a sleeve?  I ask because I was looking at another sleeping bag and didn&#x26;#39;t see anywhere in the specs that it did not have insulation on the bottom and almost ordered it, before I read some of the comments and reviews and discovered it just had a sleeve on the bottom, which is not what I&#x26;#39;m looking for.</description>

<description>MontBell Super Stretch #0 Hugger Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x26;#39;m tired of freezing when I go camping in the winter, and have been recommended this bag.  Is there a reason why the bag doesn&#x26;#39;t come in a women&#x26;#39;s version?  Also, I&#x26;#39;m 5&#x26;#39;9&#x26;quot; and a little worried that the bag might be too short in regular, but concerned that large will give me cold spots around the feet - any advice?&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Finally, what&#x26;#39;s the difference between 600+, 650 and 800-Fill down?&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Thanks!</description>

I&#x26;#39;m concerned that getting the long bag will mean heating extra air (I&#x26;#39;m not a warm sleeper), but I&#x26;#39;m in love with the stretch feature on these bags. Is it worth losing the stretch feature for warmth, say, going with the Marmot Couloir?</description>
