So I was mulling over this bag made by Teton (90"x39") and their smaller version TETON Sports Celsius Regular -18 Degree C / 0 Degree F Flannel Lined Sleeping Bag (80"x 33"). I ordered the smaller version and just by looking at it felt claustrophobic. This is not even a mummy bag either. Here's a good way to break this down: the temperature threshold is the same for both bags, and they are made of the same material. So ultimately it's based on whether you like more space in a sleeping bag to roll in or like being tucked and taking as little space as possible. I would prefer the width of this bag (39") and the height to be 80", but Teton doesn't sell a bag that size. So me being a roller and mover at night, I want something with more width and space to move around in. This bag I felt was actually much easier to place into its carrying case than its smaller counterpart. When rolled up an in the carrying bags they only differ in size slightly. I felt that because this was a larger length and width bag, It would be a monstrous size when packing. Not so. It's only slightly bigger. I included pics to show you this XXL bag and the smaller version I purchased. My type of activity is merely visiting a ranch several weekends a quarter and sleeping under a tent in 24F weather. I do not do any trekking or multi-day camping (yet) where space might be extremely scarce. That is another thing to consider: if you are 5'10" and under, seriously ask yourself what you will be doing and approx. how much space will be available for you to sleep. This not only applies to the packing weight, but also the surface area you will be taking up if sharing a tent or limited ground space. Because space was not that dire of an issue for me, I opted for a little more comfort. If you want bare minimum size -relative to your height, consider getting the smaller bag. Those who are 5'11"+ and still want a narrow bag (36") should look at this product made by teton. TETON Sports Celsius XL -18 Degree C / 0 Degree F Flannel Lined Sleeping Bag (90"x 36", Green) This XXL bag states that is will hold up @ -18C/0F and fits people 5'6"-6'6". Some people are saying that this is a monstrous size bag and that if you are 300+ lbs it is made for you. I disagree. I'm 5'8" and 180 lbs. Yes this is a big bag when compared to a small bag. That's why it looks so big. But I hate small bags simply because when I toss and turn so does my sleeping bag. And by the next morning I will be curled along with my sleeping bag in some uncomfortable contorted position. The only place where I see it as large is simply its length. I do not need 90" of length. But if I have someone else sleeping in my bag with me, at least their height won't be discriminated by the bag. If I did not have a tent then I could actually slide lower into the bag and have my whole head covered in warmth. Also, having a wider bag allows for you to have more space vertically in your bag. The narrower your sleeping bag, the less vertical space you have. And whether you are claustrophobic or just like stretching your legs, you won't enjoy the smaller bag teton makes. I really like the quality and strength of stitching of the bag. It seems like I can get a lot of use from it and with its limited lifetime warranty, I can rest assured.
