I have had an ajungilac Nordic 3 sleeping bag for about 10 years now that has done me brilliantly. Ajungilac used to do a longer bag for the tall and the fit on the width was perfect. I am 6'4" and pretty broad.
I have tried some Vango bags but as well as been to short they are 2 cramped cant sleep with my arms at the side of me, and feet push against the bottom.

I have tried this in the local shop and it fits well and is a good price although it is aimed at trecking so it feels a little light weight in terms of fabric. I am a little worried that it will get trashed on Family camping trips.
I am only looking to camp from March through to Nov so 3 season should be fine, I don't particularly feel the cold.
Any other suggestions on good synthetic bags that have a long option or are longer as standard.
Synthetic Mountain Equipment & Snugpak bags usually accommodate tall people.
US manufacturers bags are normally 6ft for std bags but Long variants go up to 6ft6 e.g. North Face, Mtn Hardwear, Marmot
You can get width inserts for some sleeping bags that zip in to make them wider
I have a Snugpak one that will be going in the classifieds soon at a sensible price 😉
I'm 6'7 and have a 3 season mountain equipment bag, it is long and roomy enough for me.

I have the xl (shouldn't have bothered, it's huuuuuge), but I don't like restrictive mummy type bags, although the xl is mahoosive, it's nice not to have your arms stuck by your sides, and you can kind of wrap yourself up in it like a duvet.
