I'm looking for the perfect Kilimanjaro bag for my girlfriend....

By Ranked #2141 - Sleeping Bags July 16, 2008

I'm looking for the perfect Kilimanjaro bag for my girlfriend. I think this might be it. She is 5'7" and most women's bags states sizes put her just beyond a 'regular' (says fits up to 5'6"), but I' afraid a women's "long" (usually 6') will be too roomy and she'll loose too much warmth. Will she be okay in a small bag? We were also looking at the MH Lamina 0°. It's not women specific, but the small is also for 5'6 and it is extremely well reviewed (I'm probably going to get the long myself). She has an athletic figure BTW. I'm not sure she needs a W bag. Obviously it would be great if she could try it on, but she's leaving and has no time. I'm meeting her in Africa in a month... with whatever bag.

My girlfriend is a similar size, and I ended up buying her the one of the MontBell Burrow (or Hugger if you want down) bags. They're nice because the bag has some elasticity to it, so it maximizes thermal efficiency. They're not women's specific bags, but they have a drawcord on the bottom baffle to make the bag shorter. My girlfriend actually has found that she likes the "bootie" effect that pulling the cord around her ankles gives her. I would recommend that bag 100%
