Fat Guy Friendly Sleeping bags for cold weather below zero F

I am a big guy too. 6'4" 325. I have used a Big Agnes Summit Park, but I also purchased a bag extender which made it much more comfortable. I have recently moved to a quilt and love it. I have a EE Extra Wide / Long and it is great. Remember that you do not want to stretch a bag tight as you need the loft for warmth. If tight across your shoulders, you will get cold.

Just an update. I ordered and received a Wiggys. Super Light Long Wide Boatfoot. It is big enough for me. Yey! It really doesn't seem that obnoxiously heavy. I haven't tried to compress it yet, but it can't be worse than my 4 piece MSS. What I like about it is the hood lays flat when the draw string isn't closed. Plus, it was only 140 bucks, shipped with the Marpat pattern. I figured for 140 bucks. It's a good value, made in the USA, it used Climashield insulation that's laminated to the material so it's using the latest greatest synthetic with a upgraded twist.
Weight is at 5.4 lbs measured on a bathroom scale. (so give or take 1/2 lb)
I could do a full review and test how warm it is, but that would me worthless to people who sleep cold. I set the heat at 62 in the winter. Can sleep with it cooler, but I like having women over so ..I need able to raise the heat fast.
I plan on taking a trip up to the UP this winter, so we'll see how it fairs.
 
I used a nemo Luxury Loft last year with the 30xl pad underneath. I'm 5'11 220 and the bag was waaaaay too big for me. It probably wouldn't meet your temp requirements, but you could always add a kifaru woobie to add some warmth. That bag IS HUGE

get a WM. being a big guy, you dont want to dick with a zipper caught up in the fabric. WM makes the uncatchiest zipper out there that i have tried.

i imagine you dont need a zero bag right? i sleep in a 20 and i swim around in a giant Alpenlite. it is very roomy. my big friend tried it on, and it fit him.
 
I am 6'4" and 260. I love my Montbell Super Spiral Hugger #1. It compresses down well and stretches, so it is very accommodating for a variety of sleeping positions. The durability of the shell may be the only downfall in you required list, that and cost.

I'm not quite the girth of some here......... but I second those Montbell stretch bags- I have 2. Very comfortable.
