Total Fishing Tackle just done me the ELS Levelite bed and the Snugpak olive techlite sleeping bag for £390.
Not a bad deal.

Reading all this with great interest.
Just out of curiosity, the people saying "I only sleep in my shorts" or "I wear a T Shirt", what on earth are you doing if you get a run in the middle of the night and the temperature is say +2 or worse?

I paid £185 for my compact techlite the Wednesday before black Friday. I don't know if the vrs2 is as warm as my ventec mk1 original....
So I'm 1.9 kilo lighter, have a camping mat for increased comfort and have a total of three removable layers including a removable blanket and/or a fleece cover to sleep under/protect the sleeping bag... and it's not fox...
It's not for everyone, I admit, but I'm really happy with this setup and feel I can go with this one rather than having to choose between which bag to take

Ventec vrs2 weighs 6.6kg and folds inside a bed chair, has removable layers so can be used all year, can be bought for £60 less than the techlite .

Perhaps not, but 4.7kg for the techlite, mat cover and jungle blanket vs 8kg for the ventec.
I can fold it up in the bedchair which you can't with a ventec and I can also remove layers instantly on the bank... try that with a ventec and you'll end up sweating and then there is the bulk.
The ventec was a very bad purchase, I could only warrant taking it on the really cold nights and it lived in the stuff sack at home 95% of the year, now I'm over the moon to have got rid of it as it was clogging up space in the tackle storage

Struggled to get the techlite as warm as my original fox ventec...now feel im there with a compact techlite, thermarest inflatable mat, trakker fleece cover and a snugpak jungle blanket folded in half. The jungle blanket is a perfect size to line the compact techlite.
That’s not sounding so lite now
On another note I’ve just bought the trakker bed of nails, twinned with a sheet of ply and a inflatable mat. It’s the best bed ou there.....only on here
