If I am warm, I just drape it over my legs; cold, I zip it up. The lining is optimized for damp climates, which makes it great for kayaking. Easy to stuff into an oval Kajak sport hatch using a compression stuff sack. When tired and damp on a multiday trip, it is easy to feel cold even when temps are above freezing in part because of the effect of evaporative cooling. We had continuous fog, rain and intermittenly high winds this summer on the south coast of Newfoundland. A down bag would've been a disaster, but I was never cold in my Marmot. Again, again we come and go, changed, changing. Hands join, unjoin in love and fear, grief and joy. The circles turn, each giving into each, into all.
