[pct-l] base pack weight

[Matt Thyer]

Not sure if this is still the case, but it used to be that if you had a
problem with a Marmot product you could send it to the factory (dating
myself I know) and have it corrected or replaced.  I've had my Arroyo
refilled a couple of times since the 80's.  I have a Helium now that I use
in the winter time.  Its super comfy!

I'll 4th it.  I got a Marmot Arroyo years ago, and rated at 30 degrees, I
slept it below that regularly in a bivy sack and was always toasty.  It's
been relegated to warm weather due to aging, but when it was new, it had the
loft of a much colder rated bag.  That was 775 loft down of high quality.  I
was always impressed with it being only two pounds.  The REI Sub-Kilo I
replaced it with when it finally lost some warmth though rated ten degrees
colder at 20 degrees, just doesn't seem like as high a quality down, though
also a good bag.
