Well here is an update....

I got the Marmot in the mail yesterday. Good news....they got smart and now make the bag with a full length zipper! To me that was the biggest downfall of this bag and never understood why they kept the half zip.

I think the bag will work well for me. Now it can be used as a quilt which adds to its versatility.

Furthermore, it is quite a bit lower in loft than my WM Versalite and therefore not going to be as warm...that bag was just too stinking warm for temps over 40 in my opinion.

Nice bag but not quite as impressive as the WM bags in my opinion in terms of loft, and just overall impression. Zipper guard not as nice as the WM one which is awesome.
