Yes the returning of the bag is not the problem.
This is.
Handmade from start to finish in the UK, the Techlite sleeping bag boasts all the features of a traditional military bag but is manufactured with the tweaks needed to suit the overnight angler. The most noticeable difference to a regular high performance Snugpak bag is that it is not a ‘mummy' style shape and will attach to your bedchair.
That is part of the description taken from the fortis website, and it clearly says this is not a mummy style bag.

exactly and if its not it should be reported to Trading Standards office
I have no idea what the problem is ?............. is it a case of a design alteration ?
or rubbish quality control a dodgy batch no one wants to take responsibility for ? or a loss by scrapping them ??
IMHO
they are brilliant bags I love mine and its as per the websites description ! I could not be more pleased with it
but for a bag thats one of the most expensive on the market if the sizes have all now gone to pot someone needs to step up and sort it out

Gerry it was a conscious decision by Fortis to change the design, the bag they are now selling is now more of a mummy shape and narrower than the size they detail in their advertising, this has been the case for about 18 months apparently.....plenty of time for them to update their details about the product you would think🤔??

That's a load of ******** too as the bags are supposedly made to order and I had mine less than 18months ago and it definitely was not mummy style bag.I think someone at either fortis or snugpak has messed up

Just going by what Darran at Fortis told me. If you go and see them in the shops now, they are definately a mummy style. The one I bought and sent back measured about 90 cm at top and 70 cm at bottom. The Footend that you then should be able to slip over your bed to retain it would only stretch to a max of 87/88 cm so as I keep saying, unless you have a compact bedchair this new design WILL NOT do what it is supposed to.
Alot of people search these sites before buying so it may be best for Fortis to comment now but if they do they need to remember that I do have the emails they sent to me with their original explanations!!

Bought mine 12 months ago, and after reading this have just been and measured mine. I have to say I've not noticed it was narrower at the foot end as I'm using it with a trakker els bed.
But he's right it is only 70cm at the extreme foot end where it goes over the bottom end of the bed chair. One thing I will say though is, I cant say this can be described as a mummy style bag.

No but the diagram on snugpak website shows 210cm long 95cm top middle and bottom so it's false advertisement surely

I had it on an els bedchair mate so it was quite loose.When I first bought the bag I had it out on the living room floor to check all the stitching and zips and I'm sure it was not narrower at the bottom

Agree with you on the false advertisement point, and its piss poor on Fortis for not being honest with people. I guess if you have a levelite or compact bed your ok, but surly Fortis have shot themselves in the foot with this one.

It should fit a Levelite as that is what it was designed for from what they told me....talk about limiting your market even more....great decision Darran Goulder.
You need to come on here and address these issues and explain because your prospective purchasers will look on here?!
