I buy the Kelty Women's Cosmic 35 fits 5'6' and now I need a compression sleeping bag stuff sack. What would be the appropriate size should I buy?

I bought the small and it is too small for my Kelty 20' dridown bag (which I suspected, but I wanted to try it). I don't need a lot more space so I am going to order a medium. I have other uses for the small so I am keeping it. I think I am going to love the sack but I haven't traveled with it yet.

we have the men's kelty 20 degree regular sleeping bag and the Large was way too big. Going to go for the medium. You should consider medium or even small

I was using a military issue extreme cold weather bag and it fit fine...but I just about burned up when it was above 50 outside...ended up sleeping on top of the thing or half covered. Anyway, if you are worried about size, mine fit just fine. I am 5'11' 260. Used a thermarest under it.

Medium should fit nicely. The size of medium is already huge. I stuff my sleeping bag, my tri-climate jacket and my fleece still have some space left.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but here's the info you probably want. Hubby is 5'8" and wears a 2XL. The easily fits over his clothing and outerwear - with plenty of room to spare. It hangs down below his knees but is high enough that he can easily walk while wearing it. The poncho is loose enough that you can easily drape it over you and your gear while sitting and not have it pull. The weight is negligible while wearing. If you are looking to carry it, I would recommend using a small compression sack as the 3D aspect can make it bulky. If not a compression sack, then still use something to keep the leaves and webbing from getting tangled or caught up in other gear.

I have used it for my son's boy scout mummy sleeping bag which is about 31" x 84"+/-. For my king size Coleman 20 degree bag (about 39" x 90"), I purchased VAS 23"X 183/4" COMPRESSION GEAR SACK - SLEEPING BAGS & GEAR which worked out really well. In addition, we backpack with external frame packs and being able to compress into a cylinder versus a ball strapped much easier to the frame

I am 5'6'' and Small/Medium size works just fine. In my opinion, the best approach is to go to a local outfitter store, they might have a special measuring device from Osprey. That what I did.

My 90" box-foot mummy bag fits just right. Used it deer hunting a few weeks ago during 28 degree nights and it provided just what I needed as a heat shield keeping body heat in and my bag dry.

Well it depends if you're the type who likes to cover up your head when sleeping then it would prob be too tight. But if you're like me & don't zip up over your head then u will be fine. It's top quality bag & by far the warmest I've ever used. Just make sure u have pad to put under u for extra protection from cold ground.

I bought another compression sack for this sleeping bag. Its nice that it came with a compression sack, and I actually kept the sack it came with and use it for my clothes now. I just feel like the bag can be compressed more and seeing as its a low temp rating its rather bulky. With the original sack I'd say I was able to compress down to 11"x13.5" tall. With a better compression sack I was able to get it down to 10"x9". I now use the original compression sack for clothes, which works great because clothes aren't nearly as fluffy.

I think you should absolutely buy the "regular" length bag...the 6' bag. The last thing in the world you want is to find your bag is too short. Additionally, I often stuff things in the bottom of my bag at night....socks, fleece, etc... things to have warm and handy should I need to rise at night or in the AM when I wake...having just a little extra space is convenient and the bag still warms up just fine in spite of the very slightly larger volume of air to warm.

The total capacity of the bag is 2803 cubic inches from what I could find. I imagine if your also attaching a sleeping bag you will need to calculate that as well. I have a much smaller Maxpedition bag with the XS size and it fits perfect. I also have attachements on the bag. I would use the size chart and add for the sleeping bag. Or worst case by the size that looks like it should fit and the next size up and send whichever doesn't work back.

It may be a little tight. I folded a king size fleece as a reference ( I didn't have a queen) and it didn't fit. If the larger bags aren't much more I would suggest those to be sure.

My husband is 240 pounds and 6' 7". This is the only sleeping bag that has ever come close to fitting him. I do not know of any sleeping bag that is bigger or longer. We have tried them all. I just asked my husband and he says that it is long enough for 6' 4" and he is pretty sure it is wide enough. It is a very wide bag. The quality is great too. We like them because they are not that slippery poly on the outside. They stay put and you don't get so tangled up in them. Put two together and it is like a queen size bed (maybe bigger)! Great value for the price.

I bought a medium and it's way to big for my normal backpack. It fits my camping backpack. I agree with Kenneth, I think the small would be fine.

If you do not have to carry much, you might try this one:Mountainsmith Kinetic II Recycled Lumbar PackThat said, this should fit fine on a small person if you need extra space.

I bought the regular length 20 degree bag and its just shy of 4 pounds. You can see the specs on the alps mountaineering website. Its a great bag but its pretty tight trying to get it in the stuff sack. Don't even bother trying to roll it.

I am 6' and it barely fits me. The specifications on the bag say it fits 68"-72"... So that would probably mean it would be too big for you. The volume of the pack is not a good indicator of personal fit. You will want to look for torso length ( not sure exactly but I think it is the c7 vertebrae at the base of your neck to the vertebrae just above your hip). This pack says it is 30", but I don't think they are referring to torsosize, I think they are referring to waist size. Measure yourself and try and find the torso size of the pack you want to purchase.
