ive got the gardner carp duvet, i found it cold nt the really cold nights,i had to have the baffle removed as it annoyed the hell out of me around the shoulder area. I found i had to put a cover on with the bag in the cold nights of spring and late autumn. its comfy to sleep in as i prefer smooth as apposed to fleece..

I also have the fox ventec as. for warmth the fox wins hands down, no competition...its comfy,warm , the bag pulls over your head if you want it to, its big enough to keep unzipped if you wish and use it like a quilt cover, zipped up with the inner leaf zipped in its soooo warm...i love this bag. one slight niggle, when the inner leaf is not zipped in you can sometimes feel the zip, thats me being ultra critical. for me I feel the cold, the fleece around the foot and head is nice . the sleeping bag is absolutely brilliant....but, theres always a but isnt there....it is big and bulky. it fits on my solar sp tech and closes even with the inner leaf in but it does bulge a little, for me its a slight trade off, i want to warm and comfy in the colder night and im certainly both in the fox ventec as.

Fortis Teclite

Does it have to be a fishing branded sleeping bag? I use snugpak sleeping bags, they dont attach to bed chairs, but for warmth and weight, they beat the fishing branded ones hands down.

I use a Snugpak Techlite ,I remove the extra layer as I sleep warm

I also have ,and just stopped using a Snugpak softie 9 ,a great bag ,but not as good as the techlite ,mainly use it for bike camping ,but ultimately I bit the bullet and just got a Alpkit Pipedream 400 ,miniscule pack down size and as warm as the techlite ,it ain't cheap tho,that's for bushcrafting or bike camping

Alpkit do some awesome kit....all minimalist, all good stuff 👍👍

I agree.. it's ***** for a so called 5 season bag I'm cold in it.
Have to have a cover on it once the autumn comes.
