I'm also looking for a new bag and am considing the one you have as well as the Western Mountaineering Ponderosa. Did you get the Dryloft option on yours? If so, I take it shed the morning dew well?

No Dryloft....I was concerned that like everything else that is waterproof, it means...no moisture gets out!! I assumed that the sleeping bag would get wet on the inside from body moisture that has nowhere to go.

Sheep hunting this year, I had to air it out once every 2-3 days or so as yes...it did collect some moisture from inside the tent. Still, I haven't been cold in it yet! A couple extra pounds is better than not getting any sleep - for me anyway!

Same dilema I'm having. Not sure I want to pack another piece of gear to stop moisture from the inside.
