    Always between sizes

    At 6'1", I continually seem to fall right on the line between two sizes when it comes to things like sleeping bags, pads, and more. I often find whether to size up or down comes down to the manufacturer, some being more conservative than others with their fit guide. Having said all that...

    Anyone out there have experience with the Incubator Econ 0 and Burrow Econ 0 that falls at that size cutoff and can advise for standard vs long for either or both?

    For a 0 degree, go long.
    I'm 6'3 175 and my 40 degree econ uq slips off my foot or shoulder without an uq hook. Being a tick shorter, it should stay better for you.

    I think it depends on your mindset. Do you like to have margin, or are you good with 'just enough'.

    If you are the type of person who doesn't mind an extra couple of ounces and cubic inches in the pack, and will take that to have a little more wiggle room, then go long.

    If you like to carry minimal weight and will work to make that happen, then a standard will probably suit you fine.

    Unfortunately, nobody can make that choice for you.
