The stealthy is exactly the same except for the lack of window, and I cannot see how the window could leak as it is not sewn in, it is part of the fabric
The difference is purely aesthetic, although I ban you from getting the kelp one

Yeah a muted green the most bushcraftey colour they do. I can happily do a 3nighter with the 30l will have to try it with the 20l
I've just splashed out £40 on an innov8 racepac 32. It's less than 600g and should give me enough space for more than a sneaky overnighter. My gourdon is only gd for an overnighter if I've eaten first and only heading out in the evening for the night. Some things like my synthetic smock was in the side pocket and I'd left the waterproofs at home. My problem is I'm tall which means my sleeping quilt is xl and despite being good down it takes up too much space. Short of buying a 950 down from the 1 or 2 companies i know who uses it I doubt I'll get less bulkier sleeping bag.
The window is tough but not puncture proof. Mine now has duct tape inside and out. I did ask Alpkit if they had a suggested repair but it seems that no one had asked before. It did take a few years and I'm sure it was self inflicted. If I was going to buy another, I would get it without the window.
