A great bag, very comfortable. It is almost too warm for most months (I sometimes use it as a blanket)! It is hard to find a 3-season bag with a full hood, dual zippers, draft collar and a draft tube along the zipper. It is even harder to find a bag, even in long, that'll fit a 6'2", 220lb guy without feeling like you're going to bust a seam. I find Marmot doesn't cut corners on its longs, it actually thinks a large person will be using them. Also, the bag will compress down to something a bit larger than a football.

I didn't get the Dryloft version for two reasons:

1. $100 more!

2. I felt from talking to Dryloft owners that the bag would pass moisture better without the Dryloft cover.

The worst I've had is a damp spot from touching the bottom of the tent side overnight. I just laid the bag out on a dry spot and it dried out pretty well. Guess if I can keep it dry in Olympic NP I can live without the Dryloft.
