I have a summer bag, but need a bag for September, October and April, May, I don't fish the winter nights. Price not too much of an issue, Tia.
If money not an issue then the fortis techlite
I can't recommend one, but I would definitely not suggest the Gardner Compact Duvet.
I've been very disappointed with it.

I do those same months and I manage with a trakker big snooze and a thermal cover, all depends if your a cold person or not in the winter my central heating is only set at 17 and I'm fine (I'm 61)

I'm 67, yes I do feel the cold, would prefer a bag without needing a thermal cover tbh, just undecided wether I need a full on 5 season winter bag, or a so called 4 season.

You'll want the trakker 365 then mate ,way too warm for me , I'm sure a big snooze is rated as a 4 season

365 is a great bag but the winter liner is way too warm for the majority of the year. It’s fantastic on the coldest nights though

And me, it's a great bag and as a 68yr old who doesn't do nights in the dead of winter it is perfect.

I also like my Gardner Compact . . .roomy, comfy (especially when you get the baffle removed) and warm enough - from a comfort perspective I prefer it to the Techlite but the Techlite takes precedence on my bedchair atm as its lighter and folds flat . . .

One of my main issues is that the zip has jammed on me at least three times, luckily not on a take.
That stupid baffle is obviously in the wrong place, it should be above you, not digging into your back. My guess is that they accepted a sample without properly checking it and ended up with a container full of them and don't want to admit their mistake.
Finally on just reasonably cold nights the zip area allows the cold in.
Definitely the worst sleeping bag I've ever bought 🙁

How about a Trakker 365? If it's a warm night you can sleep in the top layer but if it's getting colder use the bottom section. I've not had to use a sleeping bag cover since I bought mine.

Thanks for your replys, I have decided on a full 5 season bag, undecided between the 365 and the fox ventec ripstop atm
Fox Ventec all season.
Can also highly recommend the fox ventec but can't compare with the other ones mentioned
