What Marmot Trestles Elite Eco 20 owners say

“Its very nice and comfy”
— @JBC_cat on YouTube
“My shoulder season bag is the women's marmot trestles elite eco 20°F (note the men's temp rating is different). It's great, again not ultralight being synthetic, but it packs down small for the temperature, is cozy, and not super heavy. I think it's the best for that category without going for down.”
