Not as yet but have been in touch, they've emailed my pictures to Snugpack so waiting for them to come back.....either these have been made incorrectly or the spec knowingly changed...either way no where near the size advertised🤔

Fortis have been back to me and confirmed that the shape of the bag was changed about 18 months ago and is now narrower at the foot end. It seems it has been designed to complement the Trakker Levelite standard bedchair as they taper quite a bit. Thus back to my other comments, if you have any other sort of bedchair that is not a compact then you will not be able to fix the bag at both the head and foot end. In my opinion by doing this they have limited their market, they did say they will amend the description to show these changes!!

My mate has just got one and the difference is 5cm from top to bottom width. It fits his trakker bedchair very well.
Can't see a differential of 20 cm working to well though.

So they are saying this bag has been redesigned to fit one particular bedchair?

What a bizarre thing for them to have done.

They have to be lying surely. No firm in their right mind would take a product suited to all bedchairs then re-design it to suit a tiny fraction of their market.

Ofcourse yonny, thats a bit of a lame excuse if you ask me.
I buy a bag advertised at 950mm all around that's what I expect, not 250mm shorter at the bottom end.
I doubt very much i will be buying anymore of there gear.

I'm not going to say anymore about it as really if Darran from Fortis reads this then it is up to him to explain, although I am very disappointed as the bag as described is what I wanted but I don't think I will buy another new bed just so the bag will fit properly!!

It's not a problem getting the refund. The very annoying thing was that a water I'm going to fish next year involves a lot of barrowing so I was looking to save weight and did a lot of research. I bought a lighter bed, plus an inflatable sleeping pad as the lighter bed wasn't as comfy plus the Snugpack bag so to get the bag and then find out it has changed is very annoying to say the least. The other very annoying thing is that Darran, the MD at Fortis said that Snugpack changed the design 18 months ago almost making out he didn't know which is obviously a load of rubbish as there's no way they would change the design without speaking to Fortis first!!

I know they did some change to the design as a zip baffle was added probably around that time, i bought mine around 18 months ago mine has the added zip baffle but easily fits my levelite bed

They do fit the levelite as it has a tapered foot end it was said in a previous post but if fortis have changed the design they are going lose alot of sales if don't fit any other beds on the market

This new bag appears as though it will only fit on a compact bed apart from a standard Levelite. Apparently Fortis are suggesting the error is my fault for not checking with them😲 I thought companies should provide accurate, up to date information about their products🤔?

Yes but but the foot section of my bag will also fit over the head or wide section of my levelite bed that isn't tapered and my bag is supposed to be one after the design has changed unless they have changed it twice.
Either that or the bags are made like some of there clothes where they just appear to guess at measurements

I think just fobbing you off if I'm honest if they have changed the shape of the bag why not change the diagram on the fortis website so people know what they are buying
