6’1″ Dilemna.. Reg or Long Megalite/Plasma?

I'm the same height as you and I have never found a regular bag to fit. Like you I have extra space in a Long but the alternative is uncomfortable and less warmth around the toes and head due to compression.

No experience with those two bags per se', but wanted to throw it out there.

I am just shy of 5' 11" and find a regular a good fit, at your height I would definitely go for the longer one.

I'm 6'1", and have a Marmot Helium in long. I haven't tried one in normal length, but I do not regret getting the extra length at all. I like to be able to snuggle up in my bag in the cold and doubt that would be possible in a regular length.

Depending on how you sleep, you might take up more or less room. I like to stretch out on my back and sleep on my side, so I probably gain a few inches in length stretched out.

I own the Megalite in long, and have tried the Summerlite in Regular.I'm also 6'1" and like room for my big feet..certainly would be a closer fit in the Regular….If price is the same I'd certainly go Long.

Thanks for the insight, as I suspected probably safe to go with a long version. As always, this forum is great for constructive input.

Good. I'm 6-1 and the Long Megalite is perfect.

BTW I've been using the Megalite for 8 or 9 years now. It's my favorite bag — comfortable, warm, not too heavy. I just sent it back to WM over the winter for them to add 2 oz of "overfill" and it came back super puffy. The cost was extremely reasonable, too.
