Does anyone have this bag and can comment on the size and fit?
Looking to replace a Montbell Spiral Down Hugger #1 and really don't want anything more restricting than that.
Also don't want something too roomy that it's hard to heat.

I have it and love it. I’m 6’ and 220lbs with wide shoulders and I am comfortable in this bag. The Alpinlite is the wide version. Compresses down to the size of a coffee can and weighs 1 lb 15 oz.

Have one and love it as well. 6'0", 200 lbs and wide shouldered as well. No issues with it being too restrictive.

I have one. For me it hits the mark for being roomy enough without being excessive. I think an ultralite would be too tight for my liking. I'm 5'10" 185

I have the 6’ model. It’s plenty long enough in my opinion.

If you’re worried it will be too narrow check out the WM terralite. Can’t really go wrong with a WM bag

Thanks for the input.
My concern was more of it being to roomy and having excess area to heat. Sounds like a good choice.
I'm 5'10'' and average 175#.

plenty of people add down. They are honestly loftier than any other down product i can recall using so it seems unnecessary.
