Shiver is a nasty six-letter word that the Marmot Women's Ouray Sleeping Bag wouldn't recognize. This 0-degree down-insulated sleeping bag crushes the cold of early spring and late fall and conquers the bitterness of early winter without breaking a sweat. Rather than simply renaming a men's sleeping bag and tossing it into the market, Marmot's engineers engaged females testers and added down insulation right where those testers said they felt the coldest. Beside this gender-focused design touch, the Ouray also features a hood borrowed from Marmot's expedition-worthy 8000m jacket, a roomy toebox with a heater pocket, and ground-level seams positioned to aid heat retention. In winter conditions and dry climates, the Ouray sleeping bag offers warmth at a weight and size that you can carry on your back without feeling overburdened.
Insulation:
- Female-focused design uses additional insulation in key areas
- Certified 650-fill-power duck down insulation is protected by a durable nylon shell with a water-repellent finish

- Down is treated to resist moisture to maintain warmth; treated down stays drier 10 times longer, maintains 150% more loft and dries 30% faster than untreated down
- Mummy shape matches the natural contour of your body, keeping insulation closer at the feet and giving you more room to move at the shoulders
- Trapezoidal footbox allows down to loft fully around your feet for optimum warmth and comfort
- Down-filled Collar with Easy Access Draw Cord
- 650-fill down compresses well, rebounds nicely after repeated compression, and features a high warmth-to-weight ratio compared to synthetic fill
Weather and Wind:
- Ground-level side seams keep warm air from escaping
- Two-way locking zipper design incorporates a guard to keep the zipper from getting caught in the zipper tube and a zipper tube to keep cold from leaking in at the closure

Marmot Ouray Sleeping Bag Reviews:
Positive Reviews:
I purchased the Ouray because it was one of only two Women's sleeping bags I found that was EN Comfort Rated near zero for women. I sleep cold and I wanted a bag that I could use in the winter. I chose this over the other bag, the REI Habanera, because I found it on sale and because the Habanera reminds me of Pepto Bismol. Both bags have similar EN Ratings and weights (the Habanera is a few ounces lighter and one or two degrees "warmer.")
This isn't a very light or compressible bag--it has 650 fill down so it's not a Western Mountaineering or a Feathered Friends-- but is still in the range I consider reasonable for backpacking. I am 5ft 6 1/2 inches tall and my feet like freedom so I purchased the Long. It fits exactly the way I like it, with enough room at the feet to stuff the next morning's clothing. I wear a women's XL and have broad shoulders and did not find this bag to be too tight or too roomy. The zipper works fine. The drawstrings for the draft collar and hood are easy to use. The bag has a lot of loft.
I used the Ouray for the first time in the Adirondacks in early April. I camped in a tent on snow. I wore expedition weight long johns and wool socks but no hat. I used only one ground pad, a Thermarest Prolite Plus. The outside temperature went down to around 19F overnight. I was toasty warm all night and also very comfortable because the bag is so "cushy." With the addition of a second ground pad and additional clothing layers, I believe I could truly use this bag pretty close to the 4F rating. I'm very happy with this bag!
Negative Reviews:
I was so stoked for this bag, after many nights freezing my butt of because I didn't have the proper gear. We camped the night after I got it in the mail, the low was about 20 degrees. We camped in a tent, and I had a Thermarest TrailLite pad plus a blanket on the ground under the pad on top of the tent floor. I had one long johns, socks and a long-sleeve shirt. I literally froze my butt off, once again. My feet were warm, my head was warm, but there seemed to be no insulation around the core of my body. I am incredibly disappointed and intend to send this back.
Neutral Reviews:
Ok
I am a mover in my sleep so that is the only reason that I said it is to small, but the zipper sticks for no good reason all the time, especially when the zipper is all the way up. since I am already crammed in a small space as it is I tend to get claustrophobic and grumpy, which is not how anyone wants to wake up when enjoying the mountains.
I feel the cold through the ground even with a light pad and fleece bed liner inside.
I have recently gained a new sleeping pad that has limited the ground freeze under my cold bum.
I do consistently wake up with feathers around me, but as this is my first down bag I'm not sure if this is normal or not.
I used it at about 10,000 elevation twice this winter in a 4 season tent and can sleep through the night.
If REI still had lifetime return policy I would probably go for a different bag to get better insolation.
