So I foolishly missed out on some super cheap and nice discounted sleeping bags on Sportpursuit because I couldn't make up my mind which one to get and I'd like to be better prepared to take advantage of future offers I might encounter. It will be my first proper sleeping bag purchase.
I'm 180cm... will a normal length sleeping bag suit me comfortably or will I want a long bag?
What temperature range do I want to look out for? I'd camp on bike trips anytime between March and October probably so night time temperatures as low as -5°c would be a possibility. I presume it's better to be too warm than too cold.
I also travel by ferry a lot for work so something hard wearing that I could use for kip on the boat would be a bonus.
Bear in mind that a normal length bag will be either warmer for the same weight or lighter for the same warmth than a tall one. You're about as tall as me, I'd go for a regular size.

Any other top tips/ potential downfalls?
