The temperature was around 32 degrees, and I needed no more than my long-underwear and baselayer to keep warm. I took advantage of such well thought out and luxurious features as the draft collar, and hood.

It&#8217;s rated to 5 degrees Fahrenheit, and kept me very warm during New Year&#8217;s Eve in Yosemite when it was around 9 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Should you buy a Marmot Plasma 30 Bag?
