Marmot Wizard is a great medium weight bag. I is much more roomy thna other bags of similar weight that I have used. It was very warm, comparitively speaking. The liner is quite soft and the stiffener in zipper makes for flawless closures. Unless I was winter camping I would not hesitate to use it for any alpine use.

Took that bag on a trip that had me spend nights from 20s to 55 temps and I disagree with most opinions here. I thought the bag would be perfect for those trips with non-demanding conditions (not freezing but not overly warm either, some mid-range situation) and for the purpose I had in mind the bag actually seems to be the right purchase.
For me the bag was perfect when the temps were around the 40s but way too hot when in the 50s and not warm enough at 35 and below.
I had one unexpected night with temps dipping in the 20s and I shivered all night inside the bag (had long pants and sleeves on)inside a vehicle. There is no way I'd use this bag for trips when temperature drops below 35 at night on a regular basis.
Other than that, got the X wide version and it's indeed very roomy. Nice feel in and out, good design for those times you need to be all wrapped up with nothing but your nose poking out. I like the way you can tighten the cord and close the velcro thingy and keep your head nice and warm all around. I found the zipper somewhat hard to operate from inside if you don't hold the fabric absolutely tight and straight.
As for fabric comfort...well, if that's any indication, I can't keep my cat off it, the darn feline will try to go after it to knead on it even when it's hanging in the closet.
