Nothing major then
on a sleeping bag that costs as much as the trakker 365as nothing should come unstitched or fail.It seems we will except anything these days as acceptable even bad quality on products

I totally and 100% agree with what you say. But unfortunately buy trakker buy piss poor quality. It's a good bag and a lot like other trakker stuff a good concept. Which was why I pointed out that a good seamstress's number is handy to have

Personally i think that problems like these shouldn't happen, but can be repaired quite easily when they do. I think it's a whole different problem, if the materials rip after slight use, for instance.
And what if you need a sleeping bag and there are no other good alternatives on the market? Sleeping under your fleece blanket from the missus isn't an option, or is it?

Funnily enough I've had 3 different items of the Trakker NXG luggage and straps came away on all of them. Off topic I know but just saying.

I cant see my techlite bag ripping if im honest its well made and i dont put anything on my bag that could rip it but stitching coming away from straps is surely not acceptable

Again, I agree..... the material might feel like it could rip at any second but, like the jackets, you'll not find anyone that's ripped it.

It's not acceptable but what are you going to do if its out of warranty? Had Trakker when putting their marketing video about the bag together , stated that the bag may full apart 1 month after the warranty expired I'd never of bought it. Strangely enough they didn't do that.

I agree, it is surprisingly tough material.
As said, though, the tech lite is not a true 5season bag.

Is anyone who is 6ft or so tall using the compact version? How are you getting on with the length of the top covers?

agreed with a decent bedchair cover and a self inflating thermal mat between the bag and the bed you still end up with a one of the lightest compact warmest options available full stop
and YES I have a 360 bag and quite a few other sleeping bags HOWEVER NONE are any warmer than the above Setup IMHO
Oh and just out of interest
Im in my 70`s on max strength blood thinners also on pills to slow my heart rate down and all of which will cause me to really feel the cold if there was a warmer bag option trust me I would buy it but there aint
