The new gardner carp duvet compact looks a nice piece of kit.I love my techlite though so warm for the weight of it

Can anyone confirm whether the Techlite was updated with better baffles in the standard size or is it just the compact version?

Not sure if the mki had any baffles. But I can confirm that the mkii has neck-zip baffles. And has no central fixing strap. Also the top cover does not have a crash zip, so you can't jump under the top layer and zip up.
You have to remove the top layer if your too warm. This bag retails at probably £100 more than it's rivals. If your barrowing your gear about, that's a lot of money for a kilo you'd never notice. Personally.

For a bag so warm the weight to warmth ratio is amazing 3kg all in.What do some of these bags weigh like the fox or trakker 365 im sure more than 4kg and if you are barrowing your gear as far as i have to then any saving in weight is worth the money

You wanna get down the gym
I'm not dissing the bag it's great. I just wouldn't say it's as good as my Pertex. At 4.2kg if I rated it on all attributes. ie weight warmth cost etc. I'd probably be more interested in Gardner's compact quilt if it was a available then.

I already have Trakker Armotexx bag and Big Z (amongst others) .... The Armotexx weighs about 4kg .... Its a good point you make about saving just the one kilo to buy a Techlite

Thanks for this beautiful information.Today i was looking the best Sleeping Bag i have try to find many ways but when i try to find on Amazon then i have found a Best Sleeping Bag.
WINNER OUTFITTERS Mummy Sleeping Bag with Compression Sack, It's Portable and Lightweight for 3-4 Season Camping, Hiking, Traveling, Backpacking and Outdoor.
This Winner Outfitters mummy Sleeping Bag is designed for person using in cabins and camping tents outdoor in temperate conditions. It is a must-have item for camping or hiking.

It's designed to let your sleep comfortably and keep you warm from top to bottom. So we use special quilting construction to eliminates potential cold spots. The full-length draft tube blocks heat loss through the zipper and prevent cold entering, and a box-shaped foot gives you extra room to move your feet. When you're done, it's easy to put it away in the stuff sack. It's perfect for camping, hiking and backpacking.

Features:

1.350T Polyester rip-stop cover(it's water resistant) and 350T polyester lining(you feel comfortable when you lie in it).

2.Box-shaped foot for added room to move.

3.SBS zipper and drawstring, it's snag-free opening and closing.

4.The drawstring-adjustable hood surrounds your head to keep you warm

5.Unzip the bottom for extra ventilation on warmer nights.

6.Offer Stuff sack for quick and easy storage.

7.It is machine washable.

I am really impressed with this bag. Sleeping Bags are expensive and I was skeptical with the price of this one but upon arrival, it's really well made. You can see it's a huge Sleeping Bag. My favorite part is that it fits nicely in my pack. I just wish it came in length sizes (tall/reg/short).
I hope you like this and ll give me your feed back.
Thanks and regard OsmHuzi
