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

Item #MTB0083 | 0 in Stock

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

By Ranked #958 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags June 18, 2008

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?

Buy the smallest bag you can it is lighter and will be warmer. When the bag is too long the footbox gets cold because there is no body parts to warm the end of the bag. The worst part is when your feet hit the empty part of the bag and it is cold waking you up.
