The comic, and then a bunch of people getting defensive of hammocks and suggested reasons why she didn't like it.

I have the previous version...UL Super stretch #2. Not spiral. But that this is huge. You would have to pry it from my dead fingers before you would get it away from me. I think it is rated 25 degrees. I am a VERY cold sleeper so anything below 30, I bring my reactor liner. The cloth one that ads like 10 degrees to my set up. That says alot for my freezing butt. We volunteer with the boy scouts and sometimes have to tent it, and she always comes with me. Tenting or hanging.

p.s. I'm a big girl too. 5'10 and very curvy. and I have LOTS of movement room.

She's a lucky girl if she gets one for christmas. I'm so jealous. I would have 10 if I could!

Agreed that the Montbell Super Spiral sleeping bag is one of the top rated bags out there right now - and for a reason.

An older model super stretch hugger or the new super spiral is the one to get.
I am big and I can actually sit up in a SS hugger and cross my legs a bit.
Never tried the super spiral though.
Also available in left or right zip.

The regular spiral is roomy and lighter but not as roomy as the super stretch or super spiral bags. Also I think they only come in right zip.

Dont worry about the extra room in either as to heat loss.
The SS hugger/super spiral hugs you so its probably warmer than a normal design mummy.

All the different rated MB SS huggers I have used were honestly rated.

The #3 is good but it does not have a neck baffle.

The old #2 had a neck baffle and was rated for 25dF and I think that was the best 3 season IMO for the MB SS for the weight.

Now they only have a #1 and a #3.
The #1 has the neck baffle and is rated for 15dF.
Still none for the #3 and its rated at 30dF.
30dF might not be warm enough depending on if she is a cold sleeper and the weather
you hike in.

You still might be able to find a #2 somewhere.
Here is what they look like.
The collar makes a big difference.
Wish they would have put it in the #3.
