Mountain Hardware Sleeping Bags

[Bulldawg]

Who has experience with these? I'm particularly looking at the Phantom 0* bag. Are they like a marmot comparable to a BA?

I have a MT Hardware -20 bag. I like it......but
1. the zipper is a little snaggy.
2. The hood is too small for me to fit my small inflatable pillow in.

The long size mountain hardwear phantom is cut more like a standard marmot helium (check the sizes on their websites). These are the 2 I looked at and compared. The only negative I saw about the MH was that the zipper snagged easily. I'm yet to have a bag that doesn't snag though so it's probably not much worse than anything else. My Marmot still snags more than I would like it to.

I have a MH Spectre 20. It's the waterproof version. Awesome bag...zipper snags a bit though. The Phantom has a more snug cut to save weight. You just need to decide if you want a roomy or snug bag. Their Ratio bags seem like a decent bag at a reasonable price.

I have the MH Phantom 15 LG. I love this bag. Weighs less than 2 lb., but is very warm. The zipper is a little sticky, but that is the price for LW. It would need a big fatty zipper and a bunch of extra cordura sewn in to make it snag proof. I can live with the compromise. It packs down really small. I'm 6'2", 180 lb. and I find it roomy enough. I used to use a Marmot reg. size and felt cramped all night. It is very well made, and higher quality than BA. I was torn between this bag and the Marmot Helium, but settled on this one because it was about $100 cheaper.

I have a couple MH bags and they're great bags. I really like my Fat Boy Lamina 20* that I can sleep in with room to spare. The zippers are a little snaggy, like mentioned and with my other bags being Wiggy's and their zippers not snagging, it's aggravating to me. But the MH bags do weigh less and they're my go-to for summer or dry camping.

I have used the UltraLamina 15 quite a bit here in Alaska (my buddy has the UltraLamina 0). Its been a great bag. I am trying a down quilt, but purely to save weight. Bags have held up well, no complaints.
