Comments please
I'm thinking about buying either a Marmot Helium or Western Mountaineering Versalite bag and would like comments from those who own these bags.

I'm 6'2", 200 lbs, and somewhat of a cold sleeper.

The WM is heavier, but contains more down and has more loft with a smaller girth. Personally I'm not a fan of bag without full zips so I'd probably get the Versalite. I own a Megalite with 2oz of overfill and I've been comfortable into the teens with it (wearing 100wt top and bottoms), and I'm a cold sleeper too. The Marmot is imported while the WM is made in the good ole USA if that matters any.
