Nice & Comfy, June 29, 2009 This is great for summer camping. It's lightweight and it's compressible that it's great for those who don't like to haul around bulky camp gears. It comes with a compression sack and a storage bag, and the zippered foot vent helps with those warm summer nights. This bag kept me warm on those windy and cold nights this summer.

By the way, I'm about 5'2" and the "regular" had plenty of leg room. My husband who is 6 feet tall tried it, and he fit in it. However, it's probably best for someone who is 6 feet to get the "tall" size.

I gave it a four star because the zipper sometimes got difficult to maneuver from the inside, and it's so lightweight that it might be difficult for someone to sleep on it without some sort of padding (I used an inflatable bed with it so I was very comfortable). All in all, I was very happy with my purchase.
