May have to keep it then😉 To be honest that's how it seems....made to wrong spec but with correct labelling🤔

Not read the whole thread but does your bag have a double upper layer?

Green or DPM ?

What is the zips arrangement ?

Hi, sorry didn't want to cause a lot of fuss with the thread but yes it is a double zip and olive, all appears as it should be apart from the size😔

Will see what the M.D of Fortis comes back with.....obviously no problem returning it but want to get to the bottom of it now as it really is a quality bag and light so we'll see👍

Well I be darned, I have just measured my standard bag after hearing all this and mine is 50mm smaller at the top end and 150mm smaller at the bottom end according to the measurements from the fortis and snugpac website.
I bit all false advertising going on there I think, I new my bag was slightly narrower at the bottom but not that much

That's bizarre mate. Mine is same top and bottom. I've never seen a tapered Techlite. They're advertised as a square shape, none mummy style bag.
Has to be some kind of mix-up with the labels no?

In touch with Fortis so should get to the bottom of it. Went to a different shop today to have a look at another bag. The one they had was the same as mine, narrower at bottom. The max you can stretch the elasticated foot part was to about 88 cm so no way these will fit on anything but a compact bed aand yet I've read people are using them with Fox Flatliners which are 94 cm wide but would be interested to hear from anyone that has either the standard Levelite or RLX 6 (not the compact size) to see what widths the elasticated foot end is as if these bags used to fit these chairs then something has definately changed with the size of the bags....thanks fellas👍

The ELS is the same size as my RLX6, can I ask how old your Techlite bag is?
Are you sure?
