[at-l] Wet Foot of down bags

I have the same problem in a fly'd tent. Especially in winter, but often 
during other times of the year.

I am thinking that it is because my feet end up touching the inside of the 
tent. I am still somewhat puzzled, since the foot of the bag can get rather 
wet even when the inside walls of the tent are dry.  It gets wet from ther 
very end up to about 18" from the bottom.  From time to time I stick the 
bottom of my bag in a tash bag before going to sleep and that seems to work. 
  Keeping the tent windows half unzipped does not make any difference, it 
seems.

This is the only reason I covet more water repenant materials in sleeping 
bags.  If anyone has a solution, please let me know.  Unless it is to stop 
breathing during the night, that is.
