The website said it fits up to 80 inches. Instead the bag is a total of 80 inches. At best I would say the bag might fit someone that is only 6 foot tall. I’m 6 ft 3 inches tall so the bag didn’t fit me. The quality of the bag was as expected as far as workmanship and materials. However, When I went to Boulder REI to exchange the bag and I asked to get the Labor Day sale price on the longer version of the bag, I got told no way. So, I returned the bag and went to buy the bag from bass pro shop instead. It’s sad that I’ve been a member of REI since 2006 and REI wouldn’t honor an exchange for the longer version (paying the difference in sale price of course) when the info on the website was clearly wrong. I guess I should have bought both lengths and test fit them and returned the one that didn’t fit.
