Going to check out zpacks. I think I have it narrowed to that Plasma bag you have. The membrains are a bit higher priced. I think if I add the Sea to Summit Reactor Thermolite Mummy Bag Liner I should be good.
Well it is not a true 15 degree bag. It actually rates to a 18 or 19 degree bag and you can tell. But I sleep warm so it's not too big of a deal. Plus I have a liner for really cold nights. It is a little tight on me. I have the regular. I should have gone with the long. Honestly if I had it to do over again I would go with a ZPacks sleeping bag. But the plasma is light for sure and packs down pretty small. I traded in an older marmot 0 degree bag for the plasma and I'm happy with the decision to do so. So all in all a great bag in my opinion. Super soft!
i plan on going backpacking and i go camping occasionally and i still dont have my own sleeping bag. i would like a bag that is suitable for all weather conditions and can easily fit in my pack but this bag is way to pricy for me. anyone got any opinions or options? thanks
Sewing the zipper together at the bottom before use can take the fuss out of fighting your bag at night.Yeah the zippers do get stuck, if I would have had a knife with me I would have cut myself out trying to take a pee..
This bag is very light which is why i made the purchase. I will note though that it didnt feel as warm as some of my other 15 degree bags i own.
What are your other bags and how do they compare in weight to the plasma 15?
The mesh bag is a storage sack, designed mainly for keeping the materials ventilated and more or less not compressed while in storage between trips.
Good overview! I decided to pick up the bag myself.
Like the loft on that bag! You should be fine most all the time. Maybe wear your other gear on super cold nights.
I heard down fill is very bad when wet it loses it form and doesnt go bad to it regular form
The mesh bag is used for storage to maintain loft.

That's exactly what I did :)
Good overview!
Great review im struggling to pick a bag at the moment trying to pick between this and the wm versalite and a couple of others
I am trying to go cost savings on the bag but it looks like it will be much higher than I want.
nice video. I might buy this bag to supplement my CWM -40 F bag. Could use something lighter
Was this a regular or extra long?
How warm is it. Would you recommend it. I was looking at it.
