    I am 5' 9" and have plenty of room in my regular length burrow. A lady never discusses her weight but let me say that at my heaviest I was not far from where you are...

    So with me being 72" and the standard length being 74", will that be enough room? Also the long version is 79", will that be too much room?

    Depends, do you want to be able to pull it up over your head? If so get the long. If not then the standard will be fine.

    HG burrow size?

    I'm 74" 185 lbs and I fit the regular just fine. I purchased mine last year. When inside the dimensions workout to be able to cover my face when needed. As for width, I chose to go with the half taper as it seemed to give more room around the upper torso and shoulders; mine are quite broad. Hope that somewhat gives you an idea of what you may experience.

    6-2 275 and have both the Burrow regular and long (both in wide). I actually prefer the regular length because it covers just up to my mid neck. Wider is worth the extra cash as is a couple more oz of down fill IMO.

    Thanks law dawg! I'm leaning towards standard length and wide. Unsure if I should do straight or half taper though.
