No i haven't tried that i just use an old aqua 3 season bag instead during the warmer months, its about the same weight as the techlite with extra cover removed but no where near as warm

I leave the single layer bag on in the summer lay on top of it and use an old trakker bed chair cover to sleep under but in the very unlikely event it did turn cold I still got the bag
and in the winter I have the Amazing Gardner bed chair cover as Im one of those people that cant do the zip up on the bag or have the door down as I am claustrophobic and Im never ever cold

Ever tried sleeping in between the top layer and bottom layer? That's what I do and I've never overheated. I find the bag regulates temperature very well for me, never too hot nor too cold. I do use trakker thermal cover in the coldest months but that's just because I'm often damp/wearing wet waterproofs when sat on the bed or getting things out the bivvy. That said, I do feel the cold more than I ever overheat in general

I cant use my techlite during the summer months i find it far too warm even without the extra zip on layer, i only use the bag from october through to may and only during the coldest spells do i use the extra zip on layer

I have the same set up best I have had for years! Plus the bed is so light compared to my fox one.

Hi I was looking at the same set up. How are you finding it?

I’ve literally had one arrive this morning poms and its square with no noticeable taper at the foot end, mines the olive green full size version to fit on my new Avid benchmark lite bed as recommended by the lad serving me at Johnson Ross.
Cheers

cant comment on everything in the thread, but i got a compact through lockdown.
fits my bedchair perfectly, (JRC Xlite levelbed) which is a compact. the foot end does seem to narrow slightly, but only in terms of following the frame of the bedchair (ie the foot end of the ebd frame narrows sightly and isnt square footed).
Obviously i have only used it from may, and only with the single layer obviously but I've been very impressed. certainly been more than warm enough and very comfortable , and folds to nothing in the bedchair.
