Got a Switch 20 Long. I'm 6'3" 213#; used for 9 days in the Bitterroots/LoLo NF in MT 16-25 Nov. Didn't keep me warm with temps 25+ at night. I was also using an OR Bivy Sack with it (no tent)--no liner. It was cold/hard to sleep but not impossible, all the warmth seemed to go out of the foot panel (plugged with a jacket and it worked better.
Tried not to keep it compressed all the time, if I could hang it in a tree during the day I would.
The Long was a good fit for me, standard for a sleeping bag.
