Stone Glacier Chilkoot 0 Degree vs Western Mountaineering Sequoia - Sizing Question

[timberlinehunter]

Probably a long shot but does anyone know how these two bags compare in shoulder, hip, and foot dimensions? Stone Glacier uses different sizing measurements compared to WM so I can’t seem to find numbers that directly compare. Is the Chilkoot a wider bag than the Sequoia? I am looking for a 0-5 degree bag with a wide shoulder and hip.

The western mountaineering bag is using a total circumference around you for measurement. Stone is using just the width of the bag. So you can double the Stone measurements to get a closer rough comparison. The Stone would come out to 64/48/36 to the Westerns 66/61/48. I have a Stone and I love it but it does get a bit tight from the knee down for my liking. Its nice and efficient for warmth sake but I wouldnt mind more room. The shoulders and torso have always felt really roomy.

Thanks. I was affaid of that. I used to have a WM Sequoia and I loved the bag but felt the hip and leg room was too tight since I am a side sleeper and move around a lot in my sleep. Does anyone have any recommendations for a wider and roomier 0 or 5 degree bag? I already have a quilt I love using for early and mid season but I am looking for something for late season hunts.

You could always get on Cumulus website and spec out a custom bag. If you have questions on the specs you can email them and get clarification on sizes.

You might consider a Feathered Friends Puffin if a 10 degree bag will work for your needs.

Same experience for me in a fully zipped SG. Snugger than I would like but worth the cost it warmth IMO. I have started using it more like a quilt because I’m a very hot sleeper and don’t see temps here in Texas where I generally needed a full zip mummy. This allows me a lot more freedom of movement. I did have it down into the teens/low 20s for a couple nights and was still sweating in the middle of the night in boxers and a t shirt.

What did end up going with? I have identical requirements, and had my eye on the WM Sequoia, so glad to have come across this thread and see your comments on it. FF is currently out of the Puffin in 10 deg

Same experience for me with the SG. I'm 6'4 and it fits me really well and the shoulders aren't an issue but its a little snug around my legs. I do wish there was a little more room there. It's also a very warm bag. I've had it well below freezing and actually think if I were to do it again I would get the 15 degree
