Measurements are stated in inches unless otherwise indicated. For Hip measurement, measure around your body at the widest point of your hip. If right at the edge of the measurements listed, size up or down based on your upper body size or how you prefer your sleeping bag to fit. A closer fit will provide better insulation, and a looser fit will allow for a bit more room. It’s important to not have too much room for proper insulation.
