A medium is great if you are 5'5 or under, you need the large.

im 6ft and have a large and the length is fine, but the shoulders are too narrow for me

Im about the same size and got long medium would be too short i would think,great bag cheap and warm but bulky to pack

Sounds like I need a large then ive used one before when I trained with the army but I dont know if it was medium or large the width was fine though

Sorry Highfield but that's rubbish. I have had two mediums and I'm 5'11 and somewhere between 15 and 16 st.
Admittedly you would struggle at 6' but anything under 5'10 would be no problem. Conversely, at 5'6 in a large bag you would have a huge cold spot at the foot of the bag.
