I read this thread with interest before getting mine and im glad i got one. I think this "mummy shape" expressions is just a confusion with the tapering at the bottom. Its certainly not a mummy shape, but it is narrower at the bottom, but so is my bedchair - i think they all are? I had a Trakker bag before which wasnt tapered at the bottom and my feet tended to get cold, but i actually love getting into the Fortis one. Ive used it on the Solar Bed and also a Levelite with no issues...im also 6'5 and just under 18 stone, really cant fault it!

There was a chap with a Trakker RLX on this thread and the new version didn't fit.
They're awesome bags but I have no idea what you'll end up with if you order one based on the last bunch of posts. Different sizes, weights etc.
Both the Fortis and the Snugpak websites still say its a square bag. But they're clearly now not. Seems a bit of a mess tbh.

Im sure if they called it a "mummy" bag you'd get customers expecting it to be one like the outdoor industry use which clearly isnt either. I was told it was tapered in the last third to allow for the shape of a modern bedchair, which in doing so eliminates any potential cold spots. I just wish id got it last winter!

The label on the new one says its a mummy bag (the one in post 467 did anyway). I agree it makes no sense mate.

@DanC, what does your label say lol?

cant comment on everything in the thread, but i got a compact through lockdown.
fits my bedchair perfectly, (JRC Xlite levelbed) which is a compact. the foot end does seem to narrow slightly, but only in terms of following the frame of the bedchair (ie the foot end of the ebd frame narrows sightly and isnt square footed).
Obviously i have only used it from may, and only with the single layer obviously but I've been very impressed. certainly been more than warm enough and very comfortable , and folds to nothing in the bedchair.

I've literally had one arrive this morning poms and its square with no noticeable taper at the foot end, mines the olive green full size version to fit on my new Avid benchmark lite bed as recommended by the lad serving me at Johnson Ross.

I have the same set up best I have had for years! Plus the bed is so light compared to my fox one.
