I just don't have experience with a super expensive (>$100 in my book) sleeping bags and am just curious if they are more "windproof" than this bag. You could feel the cold air rushing in the seams and zipper when it would blow pretty good. I am also pretty much done with mummy bags. Been there, done that, and I just don't like them. I also have a nice fleece liner I could have used, but again it was more of an experiment that taught me quite a bit about that bag in particular. I am sure my next purchase will be an expensive rectangular bag, but I want to find one that's got some good windproofing qualities.
