Montbell Super Spiral #1 vs. Spiral #1

[rye_a]

Does anyone know if there is a significant difference between the Montbell Super Spiral and just Spiral bags? I know that the SS bags have more stretch, but I have at 56" shoulder circumference, so it seems like the 75" that the Spiral offers should be enough.

I guess my bottom line question is: is the Super Spiral worth the added weight and cost?

I've owned both and wouldn't pay extra for the Super Spiral. However, I believe the regular size Spiral Down Hugger only fits up to 5'10" so you may have to size up to the Long if you're taller than that.

Super spiral gives you more room in the shoulders because of the way its stiched to expand.... Think thats about it.

I ordered both from backcountry.com (they are having a great sale) and they will pay for return shipping for whichever I decide not to keep. I will post my thoughts and maybe a few photos once I receive them.
