I have an older model (05) that I used on my 06 AT hike. I cannot say enough on how great it performs. At that time I think it was a 900 fill not an 850. I heard Marmot was changing it to an 850 fill due to the difficulty of obtaining enough 900 fill. More importantly, it was my understanding that the shell of the bag had an upgrade option of being more water resistant then the 05 bags. The only two times the bag posed a problem was when it got wet in the shelter due once to a water bottle breaking in the rack above me and once to a trail dog wanting to get warm on a very rainy night. Is the current shell of the bag the one with the more water resistant option then the older bags? For the longer trails, trust me, every bit of water resistancy will help.

The shell's have changed since 2005 (then pertex quantum now lightforce) but I would guess the water resistance of the two fabrics are fairly similar. If you really need water protection you could go to the warmer Helium EQ bag, which uses a laminated Membrain shell.
