We have used a lot of Marmot and North Face sleeping bags over the years. Marmot has usually received high marks in the past, and they had a history of going the extra step with their manufacturing methods. I'm not sure how that is playing out now that they've been gobbled up by Newell Brands (parent company of Coleman, Rubbermaid, Mr. Coffee and more). I find, for example, that the stuff sack feels to be lighter weight nylon than in the past. I'm actually afraid that I'm going to rip it.
This bag is very comfy. They market it as having extra room in the shoulders as well as an expandable foot box. Marmot has offered extra wide bags in the past, so I'm not sure if this is merely an attempt to simplify the product line (no more extrawide, just a larger shoulder area…). I'm 6'1" and 200lbs and this extra long bag is plenty big for me. I don't care for the expandable foot box. With it unzipped, I still feel constricted at the shins if I got out of my mummy position. But I guess you get some extra cooling with the zipper open. I would prefer just to have a longer size zipper to get more air down there on warmer nights. This bag employs two short side zips that allow you to fold the top like a blanket. It is a nice feature, but in the end, I'd prefer a single long zip that gave me better access to the lower reaches of the bag. As it is, you have to shimmy in from the top.
The down was very comfortable and heated up quickly. The zippers are YKK though they seem on the small side. The exterior nylon shell also seems a bit thin in thickness. I can see the down clumping through it. The color combination, something out of the late 1970s or a hot air balloon over the Arizona desert, are not my speed.
