I was excited to find a bag to replace my old down army issue. Thought that long meant it would fit wide too. I took it backpacking in the Adirondacks in September and had a rude awakening. The bag is long enough but way too narrow to be comfortable. I was incredibly cold beside. It never got below 40 degrees. I wore Thermals and ws STILL cold. So I'm going back to lugging my old Army bag. It maybe heavier but it's warm.
