Sleeping bags
For more specific measurements of each sleeping bag (shoulder, hip and foot measurement) consult our Sleeping Bag Comparison Matrix.

Western Mountaineering has created three different 'cuts' or widths of sleeping bags for different sleeping needs. The Native Americans (slim cut), North American Mammals (moderate cut) and Trees (wide cut). Unless you thrash around at night, a slim or moderate cut should fit you. The 5' 6" Apache is a slim cut, ideal for smaller, thinner body shapes. It also sleeps very warm, ideal for women who sleep cold. The Antelope is a moderately cut bag offered in 5' 6", 6' 0" and 6' 6", ideal for colder conditions.

Marmot offers Polarguard bags with slim cuts as well. Their 5' 6" versions of the 20° Wizard and 15° 7th Heaven are ideal for smaller women looking for appropriate fit and length.
