MontBell U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #2 Sleeping Bag: 25 Degree Down
October 4, 2009
I know MB runs a tight margin on their sizes, but I've gotta ask anyway: 5'11" slim / athletic build -- can I get away with a regular length Super Stretch bag, or would I need a long? Thanks for any advice.

MontBell Ultralight Down Jacket - Men's
June 20, 2009
Another sizing Question.. I'm also 5'11" but a bit lighter frame.. My question is whether the advice to go for a size Large is based on length or width?
I have a Medium Backcountry Shift which fits very nicely - no extra space but not overly tight.
Thanks!

Backcountry.com Shift Welder Hoody - Men's
June 15, 2009
Pretty much like Bill said. The shift is warmer and more breathable, but less waterproof.
5'11" slender/lanky frame, the medium welder is surprisingly snug. This is true of most BC tops though, I find. Stoic large fits better than I thought it would, leaving plenty of space for layering underneath without swimming too much in it.. The hood is big for me on the large though - plenty of space to accomodate a helmet but requires some cinching for normal use.
Keep in mind that if you purchase these on SAC your warantee will only be good for 30 days now.....
