MontBell America, Inc. U.L. Alpine Down Hugger #1 Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down

On fall and early spring backpacking trips, pack MontBell's U.L. Alpine Down Hugger #1 15-Degree Sleeping Bag and kiss chattering teeth goodbye. At a scant 2lb 4oz, this 3-season down bag minimizes weight, but maximizes comfort and warmth. Vertical baffles along the chest prevent the 800-fill down from migrating to the side of the bag at night, keeping it at your core. Elastic stitching sewn caresses your body to preserve warmth without compromising freedom of movement. MontBell also gave the Alpine Down Hugger #1 a PolkaTex DWR coating, so it shrugs off light rain and condensation. Shorter users can close off the last baffle for even greater heat efficiency.

Bottom Line: For lightweight backpacking trips or alpine climbs, it's hard to do better than #1.

There is no doubt about it, this bag is warm. I spent the night in an area surrounded by snow, but the night was pretty warm, I'm guessing high 40's. Combined with my Exped down mat I was too hot and slept with the bag unzipped all night. I love the stretchy seams which allow an amazing amount of movement. The one downside is I had to shell out the extra money for the Long version. I tried regular at the store and it was way to short. I am 5'11" and 170 pounds. When they say it is up to 5'10" they mean it. I think someone 5'8" would be ok, maybe. But then I like a little room. Great bag, light and warm.

Planning to invest in my first serious bag for an upcoming trip...

Planning to invest in my first serious bag for an upcoming trip to Iceland. I think this is the one, but I have a question: I'm 5'9". Should I get the regular length, or the long? The regular says it's for people up to 5'10"...Obviously, it would save me a few bucks to go regular...but I want to make sure it's going to fit. Thoughts?

Outside temp ~17F very dry weather, water froze inside the tent as well. I was wearing warm base layer pants, wicking layer plus a thin wool pullover and wool socks. Plus a liner in the bag. The bag kept me warm, feet to. Didn't feel any cold spots and was confortable. I'm 6' and bought and the bag is the long one which was quite spatious. The next nights were a bit warmer (still below freezing point) and the bag was toasty. Packs small and really lightweight.
