If you don't sew, look at Big Agnes bags. They typically offer 70 inches of room at the shoulders and many are a semi-rectangular style which gives a mummy hood but rectangular foot, providing much more room within.

The down side is that you must use a 20" x 72" (for a regular length) or 20" x 78" pad for the long bag you would need. But the roominess is worth the weight.

One other caution about Big Agnes; don't believe their published weight. My Mystic lists at 2 lbs, 4 oz, but it is actually 2 lbs, 12 oz. The insulated air core pad lists at 24 oz when it is actually 29 oz. Still not bad, but a bit of a disappointment from published weights. You will likely find the extra room worth the weight.

Also, if you are willing to sew or have someone who will sew for you, look at making your own quilt from thru-hiker.com. My quilt is 60 inches around at the shoulder, the same size as typical sleeping bags except that I don't have the wasted underside. The quilt wraps nicely around me and I have used it to just below 10 degrees F. It weighs 32 oz exactly and cost me about $175 in parts and some interesting time with my wife and some down-chasing cats (who had to be vacuumed later <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)




I like my quilt MUCH better than any sleeping bag I have ever used. I've even made lightweight primaloft ones for temps in the 40's and up. These only cost about $55 total.
