I've got a morpheus 7, Gardner duvet compact and a ventec lite.
I doubt I'll use the ventec again, as the duvet is perfect for 90% of the year. I'll only get the morpheus out when it's sub zero

The 365 Trakker bag is decent imo. The only two gripes I have are it's quite heavy and it's not full length. You can get a drafty back in the depths of winter. I normally sort that with a cover though. It's going strong with no tears after 3 years of use.

I have the original Trakker 365. Must be over 10 years old now and still going.
I use it with a compact bed which is far from ideal though.
I just don't seam to be able to find a decent compact sleeping bag with enough material to move around in. Hence still using the 365.
I tried the compact big snooze and that just pinned me to the bed. Awful bag.
I must have a look at the Gardner compact though. Sounds promising.

Have the tracker 365 box thingy, great bag for all year use
I have a snugpak techlite and found it needed something underneath it
as it felt a bit colder on my back hence the Helium 3.8 Sleeping Mat this transformed the warmth of the bag and as a bonus the comfort level increased
its now a great all seasons bag I do use a bedchair cover though to cover the unzipped bag as Im Claustrophobic and cant have either the bag or door shut

Hi Gerry,
I use an open fronted V1 Tempest brolly pretty much all year round unless it's really bad and then the wrap goes on. I too can't do closed doors either. It's an age thing lol.
Hence the reason for the 365 bag. Ticks all the boxes for an open fronted shelter. It's just too big for my compact bedchair, but I live with it till I find a better bag.
I know I should take a look at the Snugpak but I just flinch at the price. Perhaps I will bite the bullet and have a look.

Have a look on England angling bud, I picked up my standard snugpak bag for £180 with them and im sure parkfield angling were quoting me roughly the same price.

Black Orca Wild Fortress Ultralight goes #1 for me.
Sure thing you can find smth cheaper or more lightweight like WM Summerlite which weughs like 19 0z. https://wildproofgear.com/best-ultralight-sleeping-bag/
Especially if you go backpacking.
Anyway, it's a good price for a goose down sleeping bag with 40 oz weight.
No issues with zipper snaps and the ykk zippers rotate 180 degrees so thdy be accdssdd inside or out. Im 222 lbs 5'10 and this a huge bag that comoresses down to thru hike size bag. Perferct combo for the bungalo tent . Will be taking both on the AT thru in Fall.
