Pop it in a > plastic bag and it would be windproof and reasonably dry inside. I A friend of mine has a summer-weight down bag that can fit into a one- liter Nalgene bottle. That's a pretty dry and tough storage system. I'd still want a waterproof windbreak to cover the sleeping bag in an emergency (don't know the Polarguard Delta, but his down bag won't be too windproof and definitely not waterproof). There is a big orange body bag out there that's popular with some. It even has instructions on it. This combination of heavy plastic bag and light sleeping bag would be quite good.
