I ended up getting one custom made by PHD, its not just length most seem to be made for effeminate skinny shouldered types as well.

I am tall but skinny. I find my Mountain Equipment Glacier 500 extra long down bag to be great. According to their [url= http://www.mountain-equipment.co.uk/library/en/application/technical_glacier.pdf ]stats[/url] it suits people up to 200cm tall with shoulders 76cm wide.

Check out Alpkit's down sleeping bags

They do a wider longer version

I've not got one but have 2 of their down jackets and they have served me well for several years.

RAB used to do extra wide and extra long options a few years ago. It'd be worth checking. I got mine through tiso iirc.

I am 6'4" and have always fitted well in the Ajungilak sleeping bags, they also do a zip in panel to give a bit more width for the larger lad (not that I have ever needed one).

Yep. Alpkit "long" length ones should be OK too - 230cm outside length so should be good for 6'6"+ people.

Im 6'7" and use a standard Rab Quantum Endurance, plenty of room length ways, quite slim, seem to remember it was the same length as the Mountain Equipment Long Xero. Standard AlpKit PipeDream is tiny, can't get in it. SkyHigh is bigger though
