Given that this bag is weatherproof, how does it compare breathability-wise to the non eq helium? Is there a trade off?

Hey there, I had the Helium for several months and ultimately exchanged if for the Helium EQ and I am happier. The Helium EQ is about 5 degrees warmer than the Helium believe it or not (check Marmot's website for the specs). I had some issues with condensation getting the Helium wet, although it was a great bag. The regular Helium pack does pack down noticeably smaller than the Helium EQ. I think the ripstop nylon is far more compressible. I havent had breathability issues with the Helium EQ -- so far it rocks.
