Thanks. I have to say, I'm 6'1" as well, and I went with the long. In regular, I found I could point my toes and pull the top down from my neck just slightly, and though I thought it was manageable, as soon as I slid into the long I was instantly way more happy. I'm not sure you were sufficiently critical of the length but overall great comprehensive review.

Great feedback thanks, Grubbeee. To be honest, I haven't crawled inside a long sized Trek Bag. I agree that this is manageable at 6'1" but the long size would certainly offer a little more room for movement, particularly with the flat foot box. ~ Ben
Excellent review!

There's a few design changes in the new version, Donesh. The Trek now features vertical torso baffles giving it a slightly more efficient design, but overall, they are still the same reliable, versatile and afforable down bags. ~ Ben
Very good review. For a 183cm sidesleeper that sleeps with the knees at an angle, would you recommend the regular wide version or the long version?

If the packed size and weight isn't an issue, there's no harm going up to the long, especially if you'd benefit from a bit of extra room. ~ Lauren
Hi again. For the zip coupling, does this effectively create 1 large double sleeping bag? or is each sleeping bag still separated (just joined together)?

My understanding of these is that they are purely for merchandising the product, Marco, to save retailers from putting holes in the fabric when attaching price tags. ~ Ben

@@SnowysOutdoors ok, thanks for the reply. I was wondering whether it was for hanging it to dry or to put straps so that it doesn't slip off a mat while sleeping
Got the orange trek 1 but it starts to really stink! Any tips? I also find it extremely sweaty even in cold conditions

Hi Nic, Couple of things, first is to make sure you store it in a well ventilated location in an uncompressed state, this will help the down stay fresh. Secondly, if you've used it a bit then it could be due for a wash. Make sure you use a down wash for this (www.snowys.com.au/down-wash) to make sure the performance of the down is not affected. As for being sweaty, even in cold conditions, I would think that this is more of a individual trait of the user. I assume you are sweaty on account of being hot inside. Have you tried using a liner in the bag or thermals to help manage moisture, or maybe not zipping it closed to far around the top to allow excess moisture to escape? I'm not sure what else to suggest, it's a bit of trial and error really to find what suits your body the best. ~ Ben

Snowys Outdoors thanks for the helpful reply. Your right maybe due for a wash, I keep it in the big bag it came in so it’s fairly loose in there but I may just leave it out of the bag to air. I did buy a liner and it was the sts thermo reactor but that was only to extend the bags comfort range for winter etc. I think I will try a cooler liner, is there One you could recommend? I do think the sweat is to do with the nylon inner material maybe if I use a moister wicking liner that will help. Thanks again :)

It could help, Nic. I'd suggest trying a silk liner if you are weight conscious (www.snowys.com.au/premium-silk-travel-liner-mummy), alternatively a silk and cotton blended liner offers a good balance of weight and price (www.snowys.com.au/silk-cotton-travel-liner). You may find that the natural fabrics help. ~ Ben
Hiya, could someone PLEASE explain how to open the bag fully?? I can’t seem to find an instructional video explaining this anywhere! :)

All you need to do is unzip both zippers, Antonio, and the bag will fold open. ~ Ben
Would a wide be large enough for a couple?

You'd squeeze in, but it won't be comfortable, Jordan, you'd also run the risk of damaging the bag. If you want a double-sized down sleeping bag, check out the STS Explore Double (www.snowys.com.au/explore-ex3-sleeping-bag-8c-double). It's not made to be the lightest bag, but it has room for two and is super comfortable. ~ Ben
Can you side sleep in this bag?
