I heard from other sites that this bag has a conduit membrane, but there's nothing here about that. Which one is the typo? And if it does have the conduit membrane, is it actually that breathable or will I wake up in an ice pack of frozen feathers? Any help would be awesome, thanks.

The description here is correct, and the Conduit description on other sites is also likely correct. Here's why: there are two versions of the Lyell -15 bag. The older version is the Lyell -15 SL. "SL" signifies the use of the Conduit SL shell fabric. The new 2009 version does not have the Conduit SL shell fabric and uses a 30D/359T breathable nylon ripstop fabric with a DWR finish. Why Mountain Hardwear made the change from the SL to this shell fabric is unclear. Both are breathable, though, so it's unlikely you will wake up in a bed of frosty feathers.
