I need advice to choose which sleeping bag to get. My budget is £80. Which one is better out of these and why? If you know of a better one for the money please advise...

Can't tell you why it's better as I haven't had the other two but I have the Advanta one and pretty happy with it!

I have a big snooze and a defender bag
Use big snooze and a cover in winter its more of a 4 season bag so bit warmer

The defender gets used in spring,summer and autumn as it is a thinner and lighter 3 season bag I will still use it with a cover when needed.

Although I did use the JRC one in last november and was fine but I tend to sleep in thermals and tracky bottoms and hoody 👍 so not cold when getting out the bag

Size wise the Trakker is more bulky than the jrc one

If you are getting a bag for all round use go for the big snooze👍

I have a big snooze plus and it's not warm enough for me in winter , or even early Spring and Autumn, but I like to sleep in boxers and a t shirt so maybe that's why.

I used to put a cheap lightweight bag inside my big snooze to make it warmer.

I have just bought a Gardner carp duvet compact, that has a removable inner but a lot bulkier than the big snooze.

I would buy the Trakker Big Snooze Plus Sleeping bag if it was me
but it wont be warm enough in the real winter below freezing or bitter winds without a cover but for most of the year it will be fine

I bought the Cult Tackle one is very warm great for the summer on its own

Bags are a personal thing I don't feel the cold that much even in old age so the big snooze and cover are fine for me

I did buy years ago a Trakker pertex 5 season bag its far to hot and bulky lovely to lie on tho😏
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
