Both sleep systems and seperates are versatile , it's whatever you find best. I far prefer a sleep system ,I find it more comfortable and plenty warm enough. I use the 5 season Nash one, and have a chub bedchair cover for the depths of winter . My SS gives me everything I need for 12 months if the year ,just as a bed and bag seperate setup will if you have the right bag(s).

Just to prove we are all different I HATED my Nash SS

in theory it sounded wonderful and I could not wait to get one but the reality was quite different
its never in a million years gonna be as good as a separate bag and bed IMHO I have had lots of beds and bags before and since all brilliant

Please remember OPINIONS ARE LIKE BUMHOLES WE ALL HAVE ONE

Has anyone else found the Solar SP c-tech memory foam sleep system to be cold too? I feel the cold nowadays and it went to about 4-5 degrees I think and I was cold with both layers on. I think my trakker 365 is warmer than the Solar bag.

Hi

I’ve narrowed my search down to:

- Fox Camolite Compact sleep system

- Nash Indulgence HD40 sleep system

Has anyone had either and can provide a review?

Any other suggested around the £300 mark instead of the above?

Thanks

I dont think the bags on the solar sleep systems are very warm at all,just got rid of the worldwide version because of it.

I can't speak to the Nash, but the Fox system won't be warm enough for winter without some extra layers on you and probably an additional inner bag from Snugpak or similar. I would steer you toward the Camolite Compact less the sleep system (so just the bed) and Fox's Ventec or Trakker's 365 bag.

In this day and age why don’t tackle manufacturers put temperature ratings on sleeping bags?

Not supplying a temperature rating is a big red flag for me. It’s obvious that it’s not been tested for its intended use.

I've felt the cold on my last couple of trips, so the time has come to spend on a proper bag. Is the Fox Ventec and trakker 365 the best choices out there?

They look almost identical in the vids, but I do shuffle around a lot so like the idea of two straps rather than the usual one and not a fleece inner to get twisted up in.

Edit: going back to a bed chair from the solar SS this year has been so much better too, the versatility of changing bags based on climate has been great and much lighter to lug around 👍

I had the same conundrum recently and went for the Ventec. Why? Because it has fitted bedsheet type elastic at the top and bottom vs. clips, and I'm used to that from my previous bag. Makes putting it on securely super easy. I think it's a wash between the two of them and you should pick the one you like the look of the most.

I currently use an aqua atexx but I also have the older version of the trakker 365 and have been out in it to -8 and have never cold. Heard good things about the fox as well
