From memory I think I'd did come out in two or three pieces but I managed to get it out of the original hole I made.
Worth the effort of fiddling about for a few minutes because it's a vast improvement imo👍

I’ve had one of these a season or so now, bought for when I take the dog, ended up using it all winter as I couldn’t be arsed to get my other out and get it washed. Great bit of kit for me, about as good a carp fishing sleeping bag as your money will buy. Doesn’t come anywhere near the ecu modular sleep system for warmth, but there isn’t an angling inspired sleeping bag out there that ever will. Good bag for the money, I’d recommend.

I didn't like the shoulder baffle thing either.
I'm 6'4" and it was digging in my back on the lower part so I took it out...just made a small incision and pulled a sausage of insulation out...problem solved.
Inspired by your modification I took mine out this morning. Absolute pain in the arse  On mine the insulation was stitched all the way along, so I could pull out a maximum of about 2 inches at a time. Took ages, but should be more comfortable now. Well made bag though

That's disappointing, I really thought Gardner would sort you out. Perhaps they have no spares left, what with deliveries coming in late. Everything from China seems to be in short supply at present.

spoke to gardner,they said just keep on practining putting it away or leave it on the bed chair..keeping on the bed chair isn't really an option when I use a Nash knx bed chair for a titan hide, unless I take off that bag built in..which is shyte by the way..but wanted it left on for a bit of extra comfort..no real drama ill nip off down camping direct and get a over size bag from there.no carp tax added..

I blew my top and gave up with my stuff sack and binned it and bought the gardner waterproof bag to put it in which is spot on.

Yes I bought the same and had the same problem. Tried everything and the bugger wouldn't go back in. I'm sure some were packed in the wrong bags. Give Gardner a ring. I've always found them to be very good with after sales service. One of the better brands out there imho.

I had the same problem. I rang Gardner and explained the problem. They sent me a bigger bag f.o.c which solved the problem. I think some bags were sent out in the wrong bag to begin with.
