Will a 6'2" man fit in a standard size sleeping bag?

Is it roomy enough for you?

Its a xmas pressie so I dont want the hassle of taking it back to the shop.

In reply to ranger*goy: Yeah, I can stretch my legs straight and still get my head in and the hood over me.

If you have too much space, it's just more cold air. Mate of mine got an extra long sleeping bag, he's about 6', and regrets it a bit.

In reply to ranger*goy: I have a Mountain Hardware Phantom 0, regular length and I am 6'3". This feels fine to me.

I have the Mountain Equipment Sleepwalker 1 and 3, at 6'5" I sometimes feel that an extra couple of inches would be nice (when I'm at full stretch), but that's just my fault for being tall and it isn't actually a problem
