Size recommendation for Western Mountaineering Astralite Quilt?

I don’t own one, but these 2 reviews I am sorry to say give 2 different answers, the first one by Andrew Skurka has that question in the comments and BPL member John Vance says

Long-term review: Western Mountaineering AstraLite || Very warm & light

At 5″10 you are certainly on the edge of moving up to the longer bag. I am 5’9″ with size 12 feet and while on my back I feel like I am at my comfort limit for the regular sized quilt. I sleep on my side mostly so it isn’t an issue but if you are a back sleeper I would most likely pull the trigger on the larger quilt.

Or from Halfway Anywhere  Notes on the AstraLite .

If you’re thinking to yourself, “Wait, I’m 5’10” (178 cm) and I’ve never had to buy a long bag – do I need the long AstraLite?”, the answer is “no”. The length of the AstraLite is shorter because it’s a quilt and does not have a hood (like you would expect a mummy sleeping bag to have).

Sorry my post doesn’t help but I would go with John Vance’s answer if I had to choose since his is from direct experience at that height. but maybe someone else will have another answer or if John doesn’t chime in you could PM him.

Thanks Link. I hadn’t seen that post from John Vance. Definitely helpful. I think I’ll try the longer one first.

Hi Linda!  At 5 10” if you are a side sleeper that curls up you’d likely be fine.  If you sleep stretched out on your back or stomach – or like to burrow down in when it’s cold – I’d opt for the longer quilt.  I find when on my back with the neck cinched up, my feet press enough on the foot box that they feel a bit colder than when on my side.  In that position it also comprises the loft somewhat down the top length of the quilt as it stretches out the bag.  I also push the limits of the quilt into the low 20’s and upper teens and as a result, perhaps notice this a bit more.

If you have any other questions feel free to reach out.

Thanks so much John! I went ahead and ordered the longer one.
