I personally don't worry over a couple of kilos. The type of fishing I do I tend to take a barrow load anyway so it doesn't really bother me.
It is heavy so if your going to be running around the lake all night it's probably not a good choice. The build quality looks brilliant though and there's no toggles with this, it all just zips in.

How many 365 versions are there? I had the first one and although a very warm bag . The top side of the bag only went up to your shoulder . Couldn't get your head in unless you got right in to the bag. Not and issue for me me being a bit short . But I remember taller anglers commenting about it at the time

Think 3, As 365, upgrade As 365 with zipped in layer and the current 6.2kg 365
AS 365 compact 200 x 80 and standard 215 x 90

My 365 has the zipped-in inner layers but is probably the one that people consider being too 'short' to really get tucked into. I have no issue with it at 6 feet tall as if I ever put my head inside a sleeping bag it seems to damp up quickly by breathing into the bag. TBH, If I'm fishing in weather so cold that I need to be burying my head, I'll have a thermal cover on that can be pulled over my head but not have to put my head inside the bag. Picture shows bag length of mine and do excuse the non carp pillow, was a 'bench test'
I believe the current 365 has a full length top cover

Looks like the top of a penis popping out of its willy warmer

Mine must be one of the original one's then as it has the toggles for the inner. I'm lacking in the hair department too and fully appreciate the damp caused by burying your head in the bag. I used to lay my thermal fleeced cover over the top aswell when it got really baltic or just sleep with my esp fleece hat on. I think the newer bag that completely covers over the head would really annoy the crap out of me.

I bought the 365 once b4 I got the fox ventec , sent it back for this reason. At 6ft 5 half my body was out the top of it.. love the fox comes right over your head, can then grab it and pull it round so your mouth is exposed but really warm round your neck and back of head. The one I had had toggles as well and looked like it wouldn't be very warm, I was extremely disappointed. The fox ventec at the time was a different class. I think the newer 365 look better though.

I cant find a proper video or pics of the 365 that's currently being sold , however speaking to the tackle shops it seems to be the one to go for so I have ordered the fox flatliner 8leg and trakker 365 bag to go on it (need a long bed and bag) hopefully the new bag has a full length top as described, not worried about being heavy, just want a strong comfy and durable chair and bag. The zip on bag for flatliner I think would be too restrictive and I'd have to get the 3 season for summer. Rather have 1 bag that can be stripped out in summer.

There have been 3 versions as far as I know, original had the toggles to fit the inner, v2 had zip in inner but with the short top then finally the latest one has the full length top section

I can confirm it is full length.
It looks spot on to be fair. Not been out with it yet but first impressions are good.

I recently bought a Rod Hutchinson All Seasons sleeping bag and Solar Undercover Bedchair.
Used them last night for the first time, and have to say they are worth a good night's sleep for the money. I slept as well as in my bed at home.
Shop around there were some deals around.
