The winning combination of low weight and small pack size make this great 2-3 season bag. It features 800+ fill power hydrophobic down, a full length zipper, lots of loft and an extremely effective hood design.
Marmot says:
Ultralight for backpacking treks and overnights in mild temps, bring the Atom Sleeping Bag when you want to keep pack weight at a minimum. Its certified 800-fill-power-down insulation—protected by a Down Defender treatment, curved baffles, and a Pertex® Quantum shell—will keep you warm as you sleep. Comfortable extras like the anatomically designed footbox, multi-baffle hood, and secondary zipper for ventilation make this lightweight sleeping bag hard to leave.
Our Verdict
The updated Atom Down Sleeping Bagnow uses 100% recycled material for the shell it still offers a great balance of quality, low weight, packability, and performance. It uses 800+ fill power down protected with Marmot's Down Defender to help the down to stay dry longer, loft better when damp and dry more quickly than untreated down. The new recycled Pertex Quantum fabric offers a combination of lightweight and good durability plus it's DWR coating will offer some water resistance. The fabric feels really soft which allows the down to loft freely and the slightly brushed feel of the Microlight lining fabric is extremely comfortable against your skin.
The +1°C Comfort Limit gives you some flexibility for using it into spring and autumn when paired with a good insulated mat. All the usual features are present with a bag of this quality plus the additional small 'fold-down' second zip which allows you to roll the top of the bag down. This is perfect for a warmer night to avoid overheating or for a cold evening where you want to be sitting in the bag inside the tent.
