If you only bought it the other week then surely you can just send it back for a refund??

Yeh as spod says I've used it twice, it's also been on a barrow so possibly marked up already.
It will probably cost me what I lose selling the sleep system to send it back!

I've been looking at the big snooze today as an alternative.
I fish for other species all winter so all I need a bag for is spring and autumn, summer I just use a thermal cover if anything.
Big snooze would be fine for this presumably? I have a decent thermal cover if needed.
Does it have restraining straps / hoods to go over feet and head end?

Does anyone know if they've changed the material, as mine doesn't behave anything like you've described, it's definitely not rigid and I don't recall it being filled with foam.

?? Hope they haven't dicked about with it because it's about the only bed I've ever bought that I actually like.

I bought my big snooze few years ago, not sure if there are any new versions.
what I can do is, try it on and then give some feedback/pictures

It's like a semi stiff synthetic material, and it seems like it's either over your whole face / head, or if you tuck it under an arm for instance then that creates a big gap where the zip is which let's air in!
I think the baffle is a big part of it, that's definitely got foam in and is really thick, maybe it will all loosen or free up with some use but it's too hot anyway so I can use it 😕

I know go outdoors is not a the go to place for a sleeping bag, but i noticed this the other day

It seems to have a layered system and there's 15% off at the moment.

Yes its the duvet plus i have which has the removable inner. Bloody hell is that how much they are now? I only paid £110 for mine from total fishing tackle when I got it. I wouldnt be paying £180 for one there good but not that good. There £195 at total fishing tackle now. Prices have gone daft since covid.

Had the same problem with the bag being too hot. Replaced it with the Fortis bag and honestly never looked back, the best combination I have found.

I too don't like sleep systems but I purchased the Nash SS4 a couple of years back because it was the most comfortable bed i tested......still got it now and love it.

However, I couldn't be doing with the sleep system cover, made me feel claustrophobic, so I took it off and just use my Fortis bag that I have had for about 5 years, that and the SS4 bed are a fantastic combo. I sold the sleep system cover on E-Bay for £125....
