Been in the shed for a while now and could do with a little freshen up

Can it be dry cleaned ?

Also a trakker oval sleeping bag?

Thanks

I put mine in the washing machine with their tech wash and it was fine
Left it hanging on the line all day to dry

Ditto that. Absolutely fine

I've put mine in the washing machine a few times, just normal washing powder and it's been fine, dries quick too even just thrown over something indoors.

Fortis bag in the w/machine with normal powder. Mrs washed the top separately in case it was too big all together. No experience of the trakker bag.

I took mine to a manned launderette. They did a great job on it. Think it was £15 or something but well worth it.

Just bumping this as mine needs a wash.

Did you wash it on a 40 or go lower like a 30?

Thanks in advance for any replies...

30 or 40 is fine

In reply to Post #9
I would say absolute max of 30 considering Nash sleeping bag instructions say wash in COLD water
and the fact is with todays washing machines the cleaning power can be better at 30c than at hotter temps

2nd this - 30° will be fine.

Thanks for the replies chaps.
Washed it on a 30 and worked perfectly.

What are these bags like, worth the outlay?

100% mate, I can't grumble with mine at all. Super warm and lite weight.
I got a good deal on mine for 180 when they hadn't been long out.

Thanks, how about sizing to fit the solar sp c tech bedchair? ( my zips had it on the solar bag, which I've never really rated apart from warmth tbh) . The aren't poxy fleece lined are they?

Have a tech lite on my Solar SP bed - no problems

In reply to Post #16
My Techlite is on my SP C tech bed - fits fine and is best bag ive ever owned by a long chalk.
Light, not bulky and it has no fleece - the silky material is so comfortable and warm.

My only slight gripes are...(so if fortis/snugpak want bring out a mk2 Im in!)

The zips ain't the best and sometimes catch.
Its very slightly bigger than the bed so moves a bit.
The strap that goes round the middle of the bed to attach isn't elasticated like my old fox bag.
It could do with a recess at the head end to stop my pillow sliding off - like I have seen on some new bags.
Needs a bed chair cover in winter as the cold can come in through zips.

If I ever needed a new one I will just buy the same again...or if they bought out a mk2 with all the improvements I will upgrade no problem.

They fixed this mate, so there kind of is a MKII. My original had no baffle behind the zip but I got a new one last year and this one does

As a stand alone sleeping bag it's fantastic.

The customer service (from Snugpak) not so great. Fortis I have never had an issue with though.

Thanks all, good info; if the solar can't be fixed then it looks like a good alternative..
