Mountain Hardwear Ghost SL -40 Sleeping Bag: -40 Degree Down
lofts like crazy

Ranked #178 - 0 to -40 Degree Down Bags

Okay, so we have only tested it this winter .... in Florida. Hey, it's been cold for us. Glad to report this bag is a little on the warm side for a Florida winter. That being said, we purchased 2 - one for each.
The 6foot bag - regular- would probably not fit someone 6 foot. I am just shy of 5-9" and my feet touch the bottom of the bag, like it was made just for me. My husband at just over 6 foot fits the 6'6" bag nicely, my 6'8" son could still get in it, just can't straighten his legs (big shock there) I expect it will keep me toasty on my mount kili trip.
Only beef so far is since it lofts so much, extra care has to be taken to keep the zipper from snagging the material.
