If I could find a decent original size for sale I would buy it for all the original reasons I posted. They said they changed the shape as it was too loose fitting....I've not seen any negative comments about that on the originals at all??

if thats true they now will not fit a standard bed chair ?............. then they are not fit for purpose surely ??
sounds to me like the TOSSERS are trying to cut their costs by cutting down on materials ?
just like they are doing with bivvies pods etc ( the look more carpy con)

It is true Gerry, very disappointed. Apparently changed to fit the Levelite beds but no way the elasticated foot end will now fit over any thing other than compact beds of other makes which they state the compact bag was designed for.
Maybe it"s more of a case that they weren't selling enough for Snugpack and Snugpack have dictated changes to suit their manufacturing??

Well il not be going for a *****pack then... il stick with my heavy old jrc jobby saved me a couple of hundred plus buying and then having to replace it... I'd rather put my money on the new Nash barrow to drag my heavy bag about tbh

Correct.....or if you have a Levelite!

Update....latest Snugpack all sent back and credited. I've bought and just used a used Snugpack Techlite which is the original shape and really like it, it's the closest I've seen since the original Tails up Goliath Combi...don't understand why they have changed the shape but I believe it's short comings can be overcome by making the head and foot part more elasticated so it will fit wider beds👍

I love mine but GLAD I got one of the wider ones
as a narrow one despite the fact I have a Levelite ELS I would not be happy with any less foot room in a bag !!!!!
SO MY ADVICE DONT BUY ONE !! the idiots have ruined an all ready overpriced bag by penny pinching and making it narrower shot themselves in the foot

Imo it's all a load of bullsh*t.
- They would not redesign the bag to slash their market in half. It's commercial suicide, not gonna happen. There is no collaboration with Trakker so I simply don't believe it's now intended for the Levelite or any other bed for that matter.
- The website still says clear as crystal that the're supposed to be 210 x 95, no mention of fitting particular beds. Ergo, the bag is wrong.
My guess is they've manufactured an entire batch wrong, neither Fortis nor Snugpak will cover the cost of scrap, so they shipped them and they're coming up with what is imo a comical excuse for anyone that notices.
Just my opinion. I would be very, very interested to hear an explanation from Fortis or Snugpak.

Think you have hit the nail on the head as they have not told the shops of any design changes or that the bags will only fit certain beds

So are all the newer bags 20cm narrower at the foot end, or are we talking around 5cm.
