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'm 6-4 and my sleeping bag fit into the bag. I would not put the sleeping pad into the bag. It can be straped on the outside. Remember this is a medium size bag. The interior will hold 2 shirts, 1 pants, 2 underwear and 2 socks. Food for 5 days ( depends on what you eat). Rain jacket, emergency tarp, first aid kit, hygiene kit both 6x4 inches. 1 person tent or hammock, rain fly, straps and rope. Alcohol stove, ultra light pot w lid. Side pockets hold water treatment, alcohol fuel, lighter, maps, snacks, spoon or spork, etc. Top storage has twice as much room as side pockets. Bottom has rain cover which comes with the pack. There are lots of places to tie down your sleeping pad, hiking poles, what ever. I bought mine to use on the Appalachian Trail. I have 30lbs of stuff which I hope to get down to 25lbs. I had a larger pack- 6000 cu in. but when you are hiking 544 miles weight is a factor. If you are car camping or just hiking to a camp site and not moving for a week go with a larger pack. You can bring more stuff. Some thru hikers have packs with less cu in to save weight. I am not in a hurry so if I get tired I will rest and enjoy the scenery. I did buy a compression bag for my sleeping bag. It was tight w/o compression bag. My sleeping bag came with just a stuff sack. It ddin't compress the sleeping bag so I went with a compression bag. Yours may be smaller or larger than my sleeping bag. Mine is a synthetic fill rated to 20 but I think it is only good to 30. That is from years of use at different temps. I may need a new bag. Even 30 degrees is to cold for me these days. Hope this helps. Happy trails, Dave

It will fit a 6ft person very well. just got done using this during deer hunting in low temps. Bag was very roomy and comfortable and easy to turn in. I never felt short of room in length or width nor was I ever cold. Zips up very well and never snagged. Plenty of room to cover your head with the bag and keep cozy warm

I last used mine this summer, but I remember there being a lot of extra foot room once inside with my partner. I am 6ft tall and it felt like I was swimming inside this sleeping bag. If you are tall and hate the size of average length sleeping bags I would highly recommend this sleeping bag.

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.

As someone that can't stand sleeping in mummy bags, my philosophy is that no bag is to wide or big. That said, I'm 6'1" and 250 lbs and this bag is extremely comfortable for me; however it is a big bag and may be overkill for you particularly in length. You may want to see if they have a short version to save on bulk when stored. I love this bag and am always warm (only had it down to 22 degrees and was pretty comfy.)

Per the pack's description, the small is for a torso length of 14.5" to 18.5." The backpack experts say you should always buy a pack based on your torso length, not your body height. If you can get someone to help you, run a tape measure from where your neck meets your shoulders down to the top of your hips. Place your two hands on the tops of the hips, and let your assistant measure from the top down to the center our your two outstretched thumbs. This is your torso length. I'm guessing the small/medium size will be fine for you, but measure first. Everyone is built differently. I'm 5'9" and the medium/large fits me well. Some people are "higher-waisted" than others, so such a person might have a shorter torso length despite their height. Good luck!

I think XL. L would be too small. It depends on how big your sleeping bag is. If it's really puffy, get XXL (the picture on the box shows 2 sleeping bags and a pillow in this bag). For a normal sleeping bag, I think XL will work. I fit a thin king-size quilt in an XL bag.

I'm 6'2' also and about 220 lbs. I know I purchased the largest size available (I think the XXL). I like some room so I can wear a good base layer if needed. If you are in a climate that gets below 20 F I would say go big so you can add sweatshirt under it comfortably.

I would go with the 35L. I can put my large purse, two pairs of shoes and a set of clothing in there, with a little to spare. Comfort-wise that size might be better for a taller guy, too.

We have both a medium kelty sack maximum size is 20x38 cm or 8x15 inches. The large is 25x38 cm or 10x18 inches. Large enough to fit a long sleeping bag.

I got the 86"X35", but if I had to choose over again, I'd get the bigger one. When I wanted to roll over, there just didn't seem like there was enough room. I'm 5'8" and about 150 lbs.This size was OK, but if you have the room in your sleeping bag, I'd get the bigger one. I am an inexperienced camper.

I bought a large and my pack is 80L. I think they only offered large when I bought mine though. My pack fits in the large with extra room. If you were looking for a more snug fit a medium might be the better option. I would just buy both and return the size you don't want after you try both of them out. Good luck

I think the regular (medium) would work for 5'6". I got the "long" because I am 6' and don't particularly like the confines of a mummy bag. It gives me plenty of room but it still tight enough to eliminate any air pockets. Tip - use a bag liner for a few extra degrees insulation as well as to keep the inside of your bag clean. It also allows more freedom of movement. I got a cheap magellan for @$15 and it works great.

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.

Yes, buy you'll have to get the right size. I used to use the Army water proof bag with a plastic bag inside of that and this is a much better option for water proofing. Depending on they type of sleeping bag you have (which I'm assuming is a "mummy" stuff bag and not one that rolls up with a wide opening) then you are good. The largest Sea to Summit will hold a -40 degree Wigley sleeping bag with a gortex cover. Fitting is important and too big or too small can be frustrating or waste room in a backpack - cheers and good luck!

As long as you keep your sleeping bag separate and pack light you should be okay. There is a larger size from the same manufacturer that you might want to consider.
