Wide sleepping bag choices?

66 for the regular 67 for the long. You sure it was the badger?

Tips, I just checked my bag, I have the Mega Lite and its 65" my bad. I am going to get the 4" extender to give me room.

Gotcha, if you wouldn't mind posting up your thoughts on the expander after you've gotten it, I know i would be interested, I don't think I've ever actually seen one in use.

Local dealer I'm buying my Mont Bell bag from also carries Western Mountaineering. Very nice bags - obviously.

For me the Mont Bell was much roomier though due to the stretch. Here are the specs on the Down Hugger 800 #1 in a long:

[Max User Height] 6'6"
[Shoulder Girth] 57"-81"
[Knee Girth] 47"-67"

I think either are outstanding choices though. I guess my biggest question is will I be as warm in the Mont Bell? Maybe not quite but I think it'll be fine for me within specs as I'm a warm sleeper anyway.

I've been in a serious search for a couple months on what bag I will finally purchase. I also like a wide bag and have large shoulders and chest. WM has a few bags, caribou, terralite and megalite are all bags I've been considering, friend loaned me the caribou and it's a wonderful bag. Light, small when packed and great craftsmanship. It's a touch tight in the hip for me as I'm a side sleeper but also have a large ass to. Feathered friends, has the puffin, penguin and the kestral, swift and raven which is the same bag (64/58/40) in 30,20 and 10 deg

Not sure what degree bag you are wanting but just to throw it out there FF also has the puffin in 0 deg bag. It's not listed but they will custom make one for ya. I just recieved mine and so far it's a great bag.
