Anyone find the sleep system cold? I fished all winter in Myn and my knees or back would be like ice. Hot water bottle sorted the problem and I can see its benifits in summer but defo be going for a sleeping back ontop for the ultimate bed next winter.

Always found the bags on sleep systems to be poor. I always use a separate bag so you can pick which ever bag you want then.

I can see what you mean, I never felt super super cold in mine over the winter, but it did seem colder than I expected given the physical bulk of the two bags it comes with.

In the end I used my old fox thermal cover over the top and ever since it's felt toasty warm, including last week when there was still a frost about.

That's the one thing I've always said about my trakker oval MF HDR, the sleeping bag is superb and the best I've owned, it's a proper system though with an underside so you get a proper sleeping bag and not just a top layer that zips to the bed.

Ive had loads of beds over the years indulgence, trakker els lumbar but since I got the sp c tech ive not looked back in fact I now have two the standard one and a sleep system as was a great deal (both the older model) and I genuinely cant see why Id change - my pal has the latest version with memotry foam which is higher and heavier - but for me I dont see the need for the new version

I use a SIM (always have) and think they are a game changer - the SS is fine most of the year but I pair it with an old trakker or cotswold throw in depths of winter and the standard bed I use through the summer with a techlite bag and absoloutely love them

Can I ask which SIM you use on your MK1 Sola sleep system?

Cheers
