I had a look at the one you recommend looks decent however
Im assuming it wont be as warm as its not like for like comparison and assume you are basing it on the cover itself?
In that respect I would say they are much of a muchness - breathable, waterproof, ties to attach to the bed etc....
BUT the clip in Fleece is the game changer on the CA version it takes it from a thermal throw to a mega piece of kit thats really warm and effectively 3 season cover
I use the CA cover for 70% of my fishing on its own - then when it gets cold the snugpak fortis comes out

Yes maybe very similar if compared without the additional fleece liner on the CA.
Biggest difference is price. 60 against 100.

I have a trakker deluxe thermal cover but selling on eBay with my broken bedchair due to investing in a new one,but have no hesitation in saying the trakker one was very good for what I needed

Each to there own - its all about opinions at end of day
I can only give my thoughts and Ive had most of the others listed below except the gardner version so can only compare with them on a like for like basis and I would concur with this review below for the cotswold one
This 100% waterproof bedchair cover measures in at 1.967m long x 1.22m in width (77 inches x 48 inches). The outer skin is manufactured from the incredibly popular Woodland Camouflage material (DPM).On the internal face you have a carp green, quilted lining with cross stitching to give it a quality finish. to keep the sleeping bag cover in position you have four fully adjustable leg attachment straps, with clip lock fastenings. Once these are in place, this very well made product fits a standard bedchair perfectly.
On the underside you also have numerous metal clips located around the outer edge of the sleeping bag cover. These are in place for you to attached the Clip In Thermal Fleece Lining (sold separately). To finish the package off you also get a matching camo stuff bag for ease of transportation or you can simply leave it permanently attached to your bedchair for ease of carriage to and from your swim.
Note – Used on it's own, the Camo Breathable Quilted Sleeping Bag Cover is ideal for those warm, sticky summer nights when a sleeping bag is just too much but you still need protection from early morning mists. If you add the Clip In Thermal Fleece Lining, it takes it to another level completely.
Clip In Thermal Fleece Lining
Vital Statistics
This additional layer to the Breathable Quilted Sleeping Bag Cover is manufactured from a deep pile fleece material that offers increased heat retention and excellent comfort. It attached itself to the cover via metal clips placed around the outer edge. Once these are all attached, you can fish an over-nighter underneath it even in late autumn. This combination makes the ideal one night session sleeping bag when the temperatures are still above freezing.
Final Thoughts
After using the Camo Breathable Quilted Sleeping Bag Cover & Clip In Thermal Fleece Lining for nearly a year, the team can now give these well thought out products the thumbs up!! The Breathable Quilted Sleeping Bag Cover is easy to fit, keep clean and in perfect working order. Once the Clip In Thermal Fleece Lining is fitted, not only is your bedchair fully protected but you also have a very warm cover that is more than suitable for over night sessions during the milder months of the year.

Do you know the dimensions on this? I've got a benchmark lite which is quite a small bedchair so don't want anything that'll overhang onto the floor

I've had a few different bedchair covers over the years but for the last 7-8 years been using a Colnemere Developments bedchair cover that I modified to attach a Snugpak Jungle Blanket. Cheap, weighs next to nothing, takes up very little space, warm, waterproof and coupled with a Gardner Sub Zero I'm covered for everything from the depths of winter to the rare tropical nights we see round here.

I have both the 4 and 7 Wychwood bags which in them selves are the best bags I've owned during my 35 years of owning bags sadly not available anymore.
My only requirement was to keep them clean and dry and the aqua does that extremely well.
So my input is absolutely useless. Going tomorrow so looking forward to being out.

Judging by this winter the need for thermal covers may be a thing of the past! I was wearing a T-shirt setting up Tuesday night and haven't had to put the 5 season top on all winter
