Marmot began as a club in 1971. To be a Marmot, you had to climb a glaciated peak with another Marmot. According to club rules, every Marmot was also president. The other rules had to do mostly with a fascination with bodily functions. Oh, to be a college student again, eh? Those crazy Marmots ended up founding a company and making well-respected products, including the Atom Sleeping Bag. It's well named because this bag weighs only one pound. Equally impressive, it packs down to the size of a coffee mug! For those who like to pack light, this "Best Of" pick is for you.( It's not for winter backpacking though, as it's rated to just 40 degrees.) A really helpful feature is that the bottom of the bag swoops upward, allowing your feet to stick up. Say goodbye to those ankle cramps caused by splaying your feet sideways through the night. The Atom sleeping bag offers a lot in the smallest of packages.

From independent research, we selected the Atom Sleeping Bag as a 3LUXE "Best Of". To see our other Sleeping Bag selections visit our Sleeping Bag Overview.
