| It absolutely stretches and gives lots more room. Lying flat I can bring one knee completely to my chest without any problem. I can stick my elbows out to either side. I am very pleased. The only part that doesn't stretch much is the foot box, so you have to keep your feet kind of close if you are fully extended. I never like regular mummies because I have to move around and spread out. It does a very nice job. |

| I have the Marmot Arroyo long bag for three season backpacking. I am not a mummy kind of guy but I didn't mind it in Zion in late Oct in Phantom Valley. That was the maiden voyage of the bag. It did everything I wanted it to do. It was cold out but I was warm. The bag is a 30 degree bag and if it looks like it is going to get colder then I will add my little light weight BD bivy bag which adds a few more degrees of warmth to the bag. I am a side and back sleeper. It was much more roomy than I expected. Also, that thing weighs almost nothing and packs down to about the size of a football actually a bit smaller. But if I am not packing it in some where, and I am car camping, I like the big square kind made of something soft on the inside. None of the cold nylon kind for me. |

Yup, it is a nice little bag. Yeah, for car camping I want more padding, might get one of those Big Agnes pads too. |

Here is my deluxe combo. Coleman air bed (twin - I don't want to hog the whole tent) and a foam pad or two on top of the air mattress. That combo just may be better than by bed at home. :2thumbs: |

Check out Big Agnes bags. I have a bunch of them. There is no insulation in the bottom of the bag. You just slip a ground pad in the bottom sleeve. Makes the bag lighter and keeps the pad from slipping out from under you.
Great product. |
