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

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.

I’m not a big bloke. Felt like I’d been clingfilmed to the bed. Needless to say, I sold it on.

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.

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

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 🤦🏻‍♂️

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

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

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 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?
