If you go onto snugpaks website it even shows a diagram with measurements and states its a square bag

Now guys what do you think my chances would be off contacting fortis and asking them to replace my bag with the correct size one.
Very slim i guess as i can't see snugpak making the one off to replace mine.

I took delivery of my mark 2 a couple of weeks ago.
Different DPM colour to my mk1 from 4 years ago, not a problem as not as bright.
A much neater fit on my tracker superlight bedchair than my mk1, but the mk1 still fits fine.
Just over 90cm at the head end of the bag.
YES, 70cm at the very end of the bag,
BUT, at 20cm up from the bottom of the bag I have a width of 85cm.
The 70 cm width at the bottom IMO has been caused due to the corners being slightly rounded as appose to completely square. This may actually be a bonus and eliminate cold spots.
MUMMY SHAPE BAG ? not really.
SLIGHTLY TAPERED ? YES , the last 12 inches.
AM I UNHAPPY ? NO, cracking light weight bag that will do me all year round with the flexibility of removing top layer (obvious).
Just my thoughts folks. Can't see my approaching trading standards or taking Fortis to court.

If you had bought it to fit a certain bed and when it arrived it didn't due to false advertising would you still be so ok with it?No I doubt you would be if you are honest

Correct I would not be happy and I would return the bag for a refund as expect thing to be right.
Fortunately I am not in that position.

That's what I did in the end but due to their incorrect info I wasted a load of time checking out if I had an incorrect bag or not as it was not as advertised. Based on the info on their site 're size ext, I bought a standard size Trakker RLX 6 plus Thermarest Pad to make the bed more comfy but overall achieving my objective of reducing weight but not losing comfort. Was I wrong to assume that a bag advertised at 95cm wide top and bottom would fit on a bed 88cm wide...No but thats how it turned out thus I wasted my money buying the bed and sleeping pad. Fortunately I was able to find an original sized bag which just about fits, although still tight.
Darren from Fortis's attitude was that I should have checked with them before buying and he suggested I buy a Levelite bed!!

I came across this thread when I was doing some research into buying one of these bags, it nearly put me off to be honest but, I bought one anyway and look....
First of all the label says 'square' not 'mummy'
and secondly it definitely isn't a mummy style bag, it is in fact square as it says on the label
The one odd thing about them apparently not fitting an RLX but fitting an ELS due to the tapered foot end, surely, the RLX is exactly the same shape as the ELS, isn't it, well the flat 6 is anyway?

Pretty sure it was just a dodgy batch that they weren't prepared to scrap mate.

Ive just got my label out which is slightly different to yours it has weight as 2000g and 71 oz, colour olive ( mine is olive not camo), shape style mummy, outer fabric paratex light batch number 71F
everything else on label is the same, my bag will fit on my standard levelite the wrong way round ie the slightly narrower foot section will still fit over the wider head section of the bedchair.
It is a very warm bag its only the last two weeks that i have been able to zip the bag up without getting too warm, and thats without the zip on top layer, i haven't used it in very cold conditions just down to freezing. Throught the summer months i ended up not taking it and just using a cover.

That's interesting. Weird that there are clearly two versions/shapes but you don't get to choose when you buy?

Its like there is also an error with the label as the weight shown on mine is without the zip on outer yet it does weigh the 3 kilo with it, mine isnt a true mummy shape but it is slightly narrower at the very foot section

Defo an error of some sort mate. According to the Snugpak website even the Compact is 2470g.
