Ultra Elite 20 Sleeping Bag: 20F Synthetic

Ultra Elite 20 - Great Weight and Solid Warmth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this bag for backpacking in the Sierras and for car camping in Northern Colorado. For backpacking, the compressibility and weight were great. In the Sierras, temperatures reached around 30F, and I was a bit chilly. I'm unsure if I would bring it down to 20F without a liner.

Excellent synthetic fill bag.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know how Marmot makes a synthetic 20-degree bag that weighs less than 2 lbs but they did and at a great price point. I bought this for potential wet weather and stream crossings where the bag could get wet. It's been warm and cozy down to the low 30's even in a light weight tent. Although a new purchase, I've had it out to Zion and Anza Borrego and couldn't be happier.

Marmot Ultra Elite 20 Degree

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this product a few years ago. Wanted a lighter weight bag that compresses well. This bag weighs in right at 2 lbs and comes with a compression sack so it compresses to a very small size. Used it down to around 25 degrees and was a little cold, but I think that had as much to do with the sleeping pad. It's synthetic fill but really light. Only drawback is it's a pretty narrow bag, so may feel confining to some. Really good option if you are looking for a lightweight bag that compresses well, with the benefits of a synthetic fill bag, and not wanting to spend a lot of money. Good value, lifetime warranty too.

Great weight!

I’ve used this on several below freezing condition nights. Yes I was a little cold, but generally not cold enough to bother putting on additional layers or opening the foot warmers next to me in the tent. With a comfort rating of 32.9 that’s pretty good. This compresses very well for a synthetic bag and lofts pretty great as well in my opinion. I used it with a light (less than 1 lb) down blanket over it on a super cold night on the white rim while bikepacking. My fiends in zero degree bags were colder than me and with more total weight. At this price and less than two pounds it’s really impressive.

Review: 2 years

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this as a winter bag for about two busy seasons. I’ve gotten it down into the low teens, but while wearing ski bib, multiple layers, and a high loft jacket. Cold but slept. The extreme rating is 20 and that’s fair. I’m 5’9 and 155lbs, and it fits great. I think the bag is genius and one of the best bags on the market. Pretty much my favorite bag and totally recommend.

Solid Value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good solid bag that packs down small and doesn't weigh too much considering the price point

Light weight and packable

Great light weight and pack able to a small size. Good fit and kept me warm in a cold spring night.
