Well some of it does, certainly. The overuse of the word nano seems a bit unnecessary but the drawstring opening seems like a logical method of venting to me.

True, but a 3/4 zip with the toebox still toebox-shaped isn't going to open out as conveniently as an open-end with a full-length zip.

I'm not looking for a magical solution that does "everything", just seeing whether anybody has any suggestions for options which cover as wide a range of temperatures as possible. If nothing else the Micro bags are pretty small and light so I wouldn't really be sacrificing weight and pack size very significantly.
