Hi guys,
Just after I bit of information.
Im currently looking to upgrade my bedchair/sleeping bag, looking to keep weight down I've come across some of the single leg head/foot options such as the Solar Undercover Pro.
Just worried that Techlite bags, with the elastic top and bottoms would not fit over single leg ends?
Or would I be in a position to have to cut a whole in the bags retaining ends?

I've got the techlite and fox duralite - same thing with the single leg.
I just cut a hole in each end for the leg. No problem at all

Hi mate, what size bag did you go for? I have the duralite bedchair and feel that the compact will be too small?

Standard size fits a duralite well, the compact is too small for almost every bedchair & medium sized blokes

Legend mate thank you, will be ordering one up, I assume it's alot thinner & lighter than the 3 & 5 season sleep system on the duralite?
Sends me crazy it doesn't fold flat and weighs close to 14kg 🤦ðŸ»"♂ï¸

The compact is tiny. I even found the bigger one far to restrictive and sold it.

I had the standard techlite years ago and found it way too restrictive and I'm not a big bloke. Felt like I'd been clingfilmed to the bed. Needless to say, I sold it on.

That's the reason I stopped using my army arctic mummy type bag, bloody claustrophobic. I know the bags meant to move with you and the tightness of fit aids heat retention, but even so...I'd rather use arctic long johns than feel like I'm in a strait jacket suit.
God...does anyone remember the (was it a war film) film where the blokes in his mummy type bag and his mate pulls his pants off and sits on his face, literally nothing bag man can do...the thought of it
That also helped put me off them.

Can't imagine many people sitting on your face down the lake 😂 unless I'm wrong, in which case let me know where you fish so I can avoid it

Sorry, just seen this.
Had the normal techlite on the duralite for a while now (2 years maybe?).
Fits well. Im 5'10 and about 90kg and dont find it too restrictive (size 9 shoe if thats important for peoples views on the bottom being restrictive )

Imagine you're sharing a 2 man bivvy and your mate just can't be arsed, does a spoon and sack to the rods
Sitting on your face, least of your worries

Many yrs ago I got given a brand spanking new artic mummy bag ,with the 3 quarter zip ..alleged to be a crash zip !
I was so proud of this bag ...especially as carp sleeping bags were yet not a thing ..
I belonged to a small syndicate on Dartmoor,...a wild ,wild situation ..
First time using it ,I scoffed a re heated prawn curry ,my missus said DO NOT ,reheat it ..but I didn't listen ..
I'm snuggled up ,nice n warm plus I'd had two nice fish on my Asafoetida specials ..its 5am things didn't feel so good ,I needed to move ASAP, sadly the zip jammed ,all hell let loose ,literally !!!
It wasn't fun washing my bot bot in the lake I can tell you
When I returned home,I left the mint looking brand new sleeping bag rolled up outside the herringbone wall..
Later,I noticed someone had nicked it thinking they'd got a nice bit of kit..
