    Default Bag Advice PLEASE! Beginning May NOBO

    I'm beginning the first week of May NOBO and am wondering if a Marmot Plasma +30 bag will be warm enough for me.

    Seeing as I'm getting a late start I'm assuming that I won't have to deal much with the frigid nighttime temps. Am I right? Also, what are the nighttime temps like in the North in September/October?

    I can get a special deal on Marmot bags and so I'm trying to figure out which is the best. Below is a screenshot with my choices. Any advice you can give would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

    Plasma 30 sounds good.

    If those are your "at cost" prices feel free to order me a Helium 15 Membrain!

    No seriously...

    A Plasma 30 should be fine if it fits you well. Nice bag, and awesome prices.
