hi there

I am 6'1" and i use a standard bag (I didnt ask for a long one) quite comfortably ie it easily fits over head etc

So I guess that diffferent makes probably vary in length - my suggestion would be to take him along to a camping shop and try until you find one long enough

good luck

Cut holes in the bottom and tell him to wear 10 pairs of socks to keep his toes warm

Don't know if you'd be interested but I have the Gelert one mentioned above that I am selling - Gelert Freedom 400 DL XL and it is VERY long - 240cm. I bought it by mistake earlier in the year (I am only 5'2" ) and it is brand new - never been used. £25 inc postage.

Hope I'm allowed to post this here - if not, please remove it and slap my wrists!!
