Summary:
I expect Marmot products to be the best and was disappointed in my Trestles bag. I'm just back from camping in Maine where the tempertures got down into the mid 20s each night. It took me 3 nights to figure out how to stay warm: I put on progressively more clothing layers (ending up with 3 layers of fleece and double socks, plus a fleece hat and neck gaiter, burrowed deeper into the bag (effectively closing the mummy bag opening), and used 3 large hand warmers -- at my feet, back, and stomach. I thought the lower price I paid represented a deal on a discontinued model -- now I think it represented the dumping of a failed design.

Summary:
A great sleeping bag! first off it was very very comfortable inside, the mummy like design and outer structure is very durable, the little accessory pocket inside is great for small things that are important....the coldest ive been in it was about 5-10F, in the upper rockies and even with just sleeping clothes on I was really too warm, the insulation is awesome, this is really a great deal for the product you get, another great thing is that the manufacture claims its waterproof and they are so right, so many times ive been in a friends tent out camping where they didnt put the rain fly up and a downpour came and soaked every single thing inside except me and the inside of my sleeping bag....I am a tall guy over 6 ft and they have two sizes a reg and a tall and the tall is great for guys like me who are over 6ft and over 200lbs, I am very very pleased with this sleeping bag! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, warm, all around sleeping bag that will last you forever!!
