After seeing gerrys post about the gardner sleeping bag cover I took the plunge and bought one, oh my lord,its taken warmth to the next level..ive left the inner leaf out and thrown the cover over...now I usually feel the cold in winter but this is next level warmth with this combination.

The only trouble I've had with mine is trying to get it back in the bag.

I've just bought the crash version , how the hell do I keep it on the bed?
The top bit folds over the head rest and has toggles to tighten the top part of the bag
These don't seem to keep it in place
At the bottom it has two loops , not sure what these do?
I've now cable tied the loops to the frame and used the bottom zips as another anchor points
For another two ties
The zips are a bit crap also🙁
Wouldn't a few bits of cord or similar along its length be of more use , considering Gardner
don't make beds and their sleeping bags would need to fit any scenario

Mines the crash version thought I crash the thread lol
Maybe the duvet version has a strap and the crash is designed to
crash in the floor👍🏻

I had the original Gardner Carp Duvet bag about 20 years ago.
It was a big bag, loads of room in it and used hollowfill fibre in the top and bottom halves but had no inner sections at all. It was British Army DPM which was unusual for fishing gear at the time. I don't remember it strapping to the bedchair in anyway. The ‘system' ( if you could call it that) was the bag, matching pillow, and unlined waterproof cover and a waterproof slip on welly wipe. It came with a big sausage bag to pack it in. Sold it now but still have pillow,cover and bag which I still use 20 years on.
It was very warm, didn't use it with a fleece cover at all through winter. Wasn't waterproof hence the cover which was just thrown over with no attaching points. So my question is - have they improved it much other than being waterproof?

Hi sorry to thread hijack,
Can't find any of these online currently, do we know if they're discontinued or if they're just all sold out due to more Anglers this year?
