I stop night fishing in November and start again April or I'd may have chosen differently.
New water is lots of Barrow work too.

Your also at a guess a lot younger than me but as I've aged I feel the cold more when inactive. Think we are all different when it comes to sleeping bags, would have loved a techlite for its lack of weight but hate being cold when trying to sleep.

Mate, the snugpak and ELS is a terrific combo. Warm enough for all but the coldest of nights but all in all it's the best set up that I have used after 30years of carping.

Like I say we are all different, metabolism, I've carp fished for 40 years and it's only good to about zero for me, below that I would need a sleeping mat and decent cover.

I have one but think it's overpriced. Prior to owning this I used a Gardner 3 season inside a tracker snooze light. Total cost 60 quid for the two bags. Total weight the same as the snugpak, folds just as small, and performs almost the same from my experience. Anyone on a budget should consider this.
One design faulty with the snugpak is just having one bottom later, most anglers use a cover so this means 3 top later and only one bottom layer.

I agree mate, but then I wouldn't go out nowadays if it was minus zero

I actually think that the snugpak bag is fairly priced, compared to the rest of the market. I always buy the best that I can and the snugpak is the best all-rounder out there.

Just turned 44 but have always felt the cold for whatever reason.
I just concentrate on other species during winter now.
Agree with other post further down about only one layer below, I have an old trakker fleece bedchair cover I'd probably put under the bag if its likely to get too cold.
Been spotted on my last water as you could drop gear off to every swim so had indulgence ss4 wide.
That's not happening now on a Barrow.

Put the helium 3.8 self inflating mattress under the bag extra comfort and insulation

Received one yesterday, standard G2 bag. No central strap??

Mine has no central strap and have never felt that it requires one as it doesnt move about.

Mine is camo version with strap but I have the helium 3.8 and cover now. These extras do make it a very versatile all season system but it works out very expensive.
