Hey guys, I decided to order the Marmot Helium 15 degree sleeping bag this morning. Does anyone have any experiece with this bag?
How early do you think I could leave Mount Springer this spring with this bag???

I used one of these in early April on the GA AT. Got down to the teens at night. I was very comfortable. I should add that I was in a tent.
I have the 15 degree Helium and the 30 degree Hydrogen. I have used the Helium on all my trips in the Wind River Range and recently on my first section hike of the AT (April 12-April 22). I was comfortable even with temps in the teens and really like the bag.I also was in a tent.

I ordered it in regular size. I'm 5'11'' and kinda slim. Will it be a tight fit???

No, you should have plenty of room. I'm your height and kinda fat.
I've used my helium on springer in january!! So you could probably leave as early as you want! I started my thru hike on March 13 and was toasty in the helium. you'll love it!
