Shoulder Girth

Is 59" of girth enough. (WM Apache). 5'10", 190 lbs.

I'm just not sure how big of a bag to buy. I know not to buy one "too" big, but I'm not sure how big that is. It is about 50" around my shoulders if I broaden them up as much as possible. As far as the mid section goes, I'm not too worried. I just don't want to feel like I'm in a straight-jacket.

I wish there were somewhere that had WM bags in stock close to me, but it's over 3 hours in all directions to find a 59, 64, 66 inch girth bag.

Thank ya'll.

One last thought, I was in a Mountain Hardwear Lamina bag a few months ago it was I believe 62" cut. It seemed plenty tight. How does the HM bag's "cut" compare to that of the Western Mountaineering bags?

Sounds too tight to me.

The distance around my shoulders is also about 50" and my 60" Feathered Friends Swallow bag is too tight for me.

Having a bag that is too tight isn't just uncomfortable, it reduces the bag's warmth too. When my arms and shoulders press outward it creates cold spots.

I switched to a Montbell stretchable bag and it works better for me. Plenty of room but still warm and light.
