Likes: super lightweight, without compromising a durable feel to the bag material.
zips up/down smoothly.
inside bag material is comfortable and VERY warm. i own the LONG version, and at 185cm (6'1") have no issues with space length-wise or width-wise (have used the bag with just a single layer of clothing as well as 2-3 bulkier layers and never felt cramped)
make sure to follow marmot's sleeping bag care instructions for storage and cleaning, i've had no issues with any of their advice so far. http://marmot.com/product/content/curlys-clips-caring-marmot-sleeping-bags
KUDOS to Backcountry Edge's quick shipping, service & sales events!

Likes: I have several sleeping bags, but this bag has the best loft ever. I have never seen a sleeping bag with better loft. I also have a Mountain Hardwear Phantom 15 (800 fill). When I take both out of the storage sack, the Marmot Helium puffs up super fast. The fabric on the Marmot Helium is so soft and seems really durable. Packs small and is light. This Marmot Helium has been my dream bag for sometime now. I am happy that I bought it. I love Marmot products.
Dislikes: The hood on the Marmot Helium bag is not as good as the Mountain Hardwear Phantom. With that said, I don't think any hood is as good as the Mountain Hardwear Phantom. I still prefer the Marmot Helium.

Likes: The bag was much lighter than anticipated and man does it puff up nice. Used it so far into the mid 20's with no issues. My feet usually get cold even with a thick pair of wool socks, but so far have been fine. I have yet to push the range as its not cold enough yet, but can't wait for it. I am 5'10 190lbs and this fits fine. I have room for a water bottle if needed, as well as by boot liners. Overall I am very pleased with this.
Dislikes: The only thing that is not perfect is the zipper does snag a litle bit, but thats nit-picking.

Likes: This is a very nice fifteen degree bag and weighs just over two pounds. It packs down to a very small size although some effort is required to get it into the extra small marmot stuff sack which is included with the bag. The material is comfortable and it lofts up quickly after compression. There has been no down leakage so far which is more than I can say for my old REI down bag. I'm very pleased with the bag so far although have yet to test its temperature rating.
Dislikes: The zipper has a tendency to catch on the material which can be annoying. The bag is also pretty wide at the shoulders for me but I like this since I tend to move around while sleeping. The downside is that the extra space may create cold spots but I have yet to test in really cold conditions.

Likes: Wow - What an amazing piece of technology. I can't believe a bag can be this warm and weigh less than 2 lbs. And it packs down to the size of a small football. I have used on many nights in the rocky mountains with temperatures in the teens and 20's and never been cold. Highly recommended!

Likes: Overall very satisfied with this bag, it's very convenient. Excellent compressibility and more than enough warmth, sleeping outside, 30F, 11000ft, Sawatch range in CO, around end of Sept. Would trust this to go to a lot lower temperatures, especially in a tent.
Dislikes: Stuff sack is in fact probably too small, even with a stuff sack that's 10-20% larger, it would make it much easier to pack away for a hike without adding a lot of volume (i.e. still very very small, and let the rest of your gear pack it down some). (I'm leaving it uncompressed when unused of course).

Likes: Compact, light, and warm. Refer to the Marmot website and you will notice the comfort rating for the average male is about right on the rating. The comfort rating assumes that you have 1 full base layer on.
Dislikes: Nothing.
