I'm tired of freezing when I go camping in the winter, and have been recommended this bag. Is there a reason why the bag doesn't come in a women's version? Also, I'm 5'9" and a little worried that the bag might be too short in regular, but concerned that large will give me cold spots around the feet - any advice?

Finally, what's the difference between 600+, 650 and 800-Fill down?

Thanks!

The montbell hugger bags have a cinch at the bottom of the bag that allows you to shorten the bottom and get your feet all snuggly. My understanding of down is the larger the number the more fill in the bag - The warmer it will be -800 being the best. We went to the montbell store in Boulder - these bags are the ultimate. My husband who hates a mummy bag wants this one!!

I have several MontBell bags and find that their temperature ratings are fairly accurate (not to mention they are durable, light-weight, and very comfortable). I am not certain why this bag doesn't come in a women's version. If I were in between sizes, I'd personally size up... I like the 'just-in-case' extra room. A good piece of advice if you get cold spots by your feet: heat up some water about 15-30 minutes before you go to bed and put it in a nalgene or a plastic gatorade bottle and place it at the bottom of your bag. Just make sure the bottle doesn't leak. The water will stay surprisingly warm most of the night. However, if you are 5'9", you would fit well in the regular-sized bag. It's preference if you want to size up. Down is graded according to fill power—meaning the number of cubic inches one ounce of down will displace. The higher the number, the better the insulation. So an ounce of 600-fill down will fill about 2.5 gallons of volume and the 800-fill down will fill about 3.5 gallons. Hope this helps!
