Looking for a new sleeping bag to use with a Solar Tackle CH08 bed I've just bought and looking for recommendations. Have had a mooch around the forum, but specifically, would like one that's adaptable - ie that can be changed from a 3 to 5 season easily for all year use. Open to suggestions of just 3 season ones I suppose and can add a cover for the colder nights, but trying to really cut down on space!
Budget up to around £170 I guess. Considering the Gardner duvet a lot of you seem to rate, but not sure I can get over the glary camo 😬
Anyway, thanks in advance for any pointers

If I had £250 odd to spend, I'd get one of these. Sadly can't justify that though as don't do nights as much as I'd like to! Haha. Thanks though

Great thanks mate I'll look into this one! I have a Frontier X bivvy and am super impressed with the VenTec material used on that. Hadn't come across of considered this one so thanks!

Snugpak techlite is my favourite, lightweight, fairly spacious and warm enough in general. If you shop around you'll get a deal for that kind of money your willing to spend.. Although my ecw modular sleep system is warmer when it gets really cold. If I didn't have the dog with me most trips I'd find myself using that more often than not.

I'm still using a cyprinus magnatec. Use it all year. It's that warm I'd forgot it had a lower level to sleep in when it's cold 
tried it when it was around 2 degrees and was too hot in the bottom section. Downside it's heavy

Ah man, it looks like I'm gonna have to get one of these doesn't it 😩😂 I've been looking the last ten mins or so and can't find one anywhere near the price I'm looking at. Will keep checking though!

If you could cross breed the bedchair sizing, 2 sided zip and material of the Techlite with the crash zips and Goretex cover of the ECW modular system
.... come on Fortis, you know it makes sense!

Come on Bradders, tell us where the sub £200 Techlite bags are kept.

Hey mate.. I think I've seen from another thread that you also have the Solar CH08 bed, is that right? If so, which techlite bag do you have, the standard or compact? And how's the fit!? Cheers man

I'd agree until mine looked just like a tramps doorway bag from how much abuse it took still got it just couldn't bring myself to bin it.
