I recently purchased a very nice expedition sleeping bag from the Mont factory sale now I need to pair it with a sleeping mat. The bag is slightly on the larger size, maybe 195cm long. I've decided on using the Sea to Summit Etherlight XT Extreme mummy style mat because it's well insulated (R6.2), not too heavy and most of all cost effective (under $300). I am around 180cm tall and quite broad across the shoulders. There are 2 sized mats I am considering:
Large Womens - 183 x 64 wide
Large - 198 x 64 wide
Which would be most appropriate for touring given my size and the size of the bag? Is the bag dangling off the end of the mat onto the floor of the tent likely to be an issue in the backcountry?
