Mountain Hardwear Ghost SL -40 Sleeping Bag: -40 Degree Down
Snug, Very Snug.

Ranked #12 - 0 to -40 Degree Down Bags

Bag is lightweight, the shell is bombproof. I'm a mountaineer and when I'm outside, I beat the hell outta my gear. This bag loves that, as long as you treat it nice when you get home.
I'm 5'11 and got the regular size bag. I just barely fit in, which is not good enough. When you're mountain climbing, the only way to dry your stuff is inside your sleeping bag at night. there was not enough room in this bag for my shell and boots to dry while i sleep. I also like to throw some hot water bottles in the bag with me - pre warms the bag and means I have nice warm water to drink in the AM.
Great bag, well made - the only construction problem is that the zipper snags like crazy. Will do the job, just make sure you order big.
