Because of an early July deadline, we are going to be starting out sometime in February (maybe second to last week) and I am looking at sleeping bags. One bag that caught my eye was the Marmot Never Summer bag. It fits my price range (Ideally $300 or less) and seems ok as far as weight is concerned.

Before actually making the purchase, I thought I would ask for opinions/recommendations here.

Is it a good bag for an early season start (I will be shipping it home in favor of a lighter summer bag that I already own, once the time is right)

Are there any other options in the $300 price range worth considering? (I don't mind going over a bit, if the bag would be significantly lighter. I do not however, want to spend an extra $200 to save 4 ounces)

Thanks!
