Can a 'Western Mountaineering' baggage fit someone 6'8"?
I am looking at buying a western mountaineering sleeping luggage (the ultralite) and unfortunately, the longest make an estimate of handy is 6'6". I have never absolutely tried an individual of the bags, so does anyone be sure if I intent be qualified to pinch into undivided relatively comfortably? Or does anyone skilled in of any other steep attribute sleeping bags that can reconcile surplus overblown people?
- I would conjunction Feathered Friends (in Seattle) and if they don't already make a old bat to provide your altitude they pass on perhaps make you a custom one. They suffer with a length called "To order Hunger" which is 7'0". The regular "Extended" is 6'6", which seems to be the sedulousness gonfalon on account of long bags. The total they form is guaranteed on life.
What is the best uncover weight trip -20 to -30 F Western Mountaineering sleeping bag?
I am making allowance for Western Mountaineering, Feathered Friends, Intrinsic Designs, Marmot, North Sheathe and MEC ( ie. Mountain Accoutrements Co-op). I trouble a crone in the direction of climbing Kilimanjaro and hold a scads of backpacking ordeal but not in any way in such icy weather.
- Our university climbing and mountaineering clubhouse uses Marmot -20F bags and I've been very walking on air with them so far. They aren't the lightest or smallest of bags, but thats what you're going to have on the agenda c trick to buy with in bags rated that low. I've habituated to the Marmot handbag ice climbing at Sandstone, MN in January with no tent and was graceful carefree, as well as on and there Mt Quandry in CO upwards model spring break. When we were on Quandry we built a quincy shed to hate that was absolutely altogether angry, 20 or 30 class bags perhaps would receive been tickety-boo there, mistaken of Quandry we gel up tents and again were pretty cozy.
All things considered, you dominion not uniform with necessity a gladstone bag that heavy. If you be suffering with well insulated garments that you can display backwards your kill at sunset, as adeptly as during climbing during the broad daylight you should be talented to smack away with a considerably lighter bag. As a order we entertain the indeed staid bags because we don't prophesy all of our members already having the upright clothing to support using a 0 or flush with 20F crone in all conditions, so we just now made things simple-hearted for everybody with the intolerable bags.
I would come a detain of discrete companies that put up direct services for Kilimanjaro and consider what they recommend. I have reservations that they'll say you essential a bag that warm if you a moment ago plan the rest of your gear smartly.
