I just returned mine. I used it for a several nights. It’s fine down to the low 40s high 30s. On thé few nights I had it down around freezing I was really cold even with layers on.

They’re ultralight bags and the material feels a bit fragile. But we’ve had them for several years and used them a fair bit and they’ve all held up fine.

keep Magma15 for 30°F and under nights

the REI Magma 15 damn near gave me a panic attack because it is so incredibly tight that I couldn't really get out of it.

Reddit— neutral

Definitely a good value. I had one, returned it for the REI quilt, which is even better.

my warmest bag (an REI Magma15)

Reddit— neutral

I owned this bag for 2 years and mostly loved it for 25ish degrees or warmer.

my partner has this one and has used it on at least 70 nights of backpacking, both 3 season and combined with a down quilt in the winter

I just sold mine. I’m not sure why, but the down clumps kept shifting around my knees and giving me cold spots.

I picked one of those up last year briefly only to realize some of the baffles weren't even filled properly.

Reddit— neutral

I really liked it between 35F and 50F but it seemed inconsistent below that.

I had this exact bag for years. It’s a fine bag. Kept me comfy cozy down to the mid-low 20s. Draft collar was flawless.

Did not like this bag or its predecessor. The temp ratings are laughable for both.

Reddit▲ recommend

It's definitely worth the money. It's a snug fit so beware. These are awesome but I switched to the magma quilt. Enjoy

My friend has the Magma 15 and I thought it was pretty tight.

Reddit▲ recommend

I love mine! I have this same bag and it’s lighter then my Nemo disco 30 and warmer. I’m pretty happy with it so far!

Reddit— neutral

I was warm in this bag EXCEPT for my feet

Reddit▲ recommend

I have one. This is an excellent bag, and that price is unbeatable for a backpacking bag of that warmth and weight.

Reddit▲ recommend

I’ve brought my Magma on a few trips to Washington and the Sierras so far and I’m very happy with it.

Reddit▲ recommend

Otherwise it’s an awesome bag for the price and kept me toasty down to 20s with only base layers on.

Reddit▲ recommend

I have this bag, if you don’t mind your legs being restricted in the mummy bag it’s great.

Reddit▲ recommend

Yes! It's one of the best bang for the buck lightweight bags. Especially on sale.

Reddit▲ recommend

I can feel somewhat warm in that bag to 30 f. I could fall asleep down to 23 f.

Love REI Magmas! I’ve had several for years. You can’t beat that price! Wow.
