I have a snugpak techlite ,I like it ,works well ..
A little mention ,I don't keep mine in a bedchair ,nor in the supplied compression bag .
I bought the snugpak 40 litre 'Air escape 'dry bag this is because I don't want to get it wet ,nor do I wish to damage the loft properties of the bag by keeping it tightly stuffed or rolled up
The dry bag allows the techlite to expand when opened ,thus safeguarding the loft ..it was a good purchase that dry bag.

Agreed, ill see how I get on this weekend and will consider this as an option, always after a cheap solution, bed chair covers are so expensive for what they are.

Cheaper than a bedchair cover,more uses too.I sit outside with mine wrapped around me and then fold it up and pop it between the two layers of the bag.It works perfectly and makes the bag even warmer

Now that's a good idea ✌️

I find the Fortis/Snupak bag to be plenty warm enough throughout the winter with the top layer on. Wasn’t much of a test last winter as it didn’t get that cold, but previous to that did many sub zero nights and never felt cold.
The Snupak insulation is very good. It heats up quickly and retains the heat well without the bulk of the fishing brands. Same goes for the SJ9 jacket, really really warm and packs down small.

If its below zero I would take a cover too,I love my fortis bag but I've now put a snugpak jungle blanket between the layers of the bag.It certainly helps give the extra warmth that might be needed by some

Has anyone got the new Trakker 365 Camo ?
I like the look of the extra room for your feet, being 6’4” I fill most bags so laying stretched out can be uncomfortable on the feet

I moved over from the ventec to the fortis and am yet to take it out. The size difference is astounding and I laid out in the living room in it and it heats up incredibly quickly compared to the ventec, it is much smaller so much more like being in a sleeping bag than I bed which I liken the ventec to.
I should be out this weekend in it so it should be a good test with this cold weather coming.

Like the look of the Fortis bag for compactness. But it's always worried me that how something so compact can be classed as a 5 season bag. It's all about the loft in the material for warmth. So for something to be classed as 5 season it needs a lot of loft. So the bag is going to be big.
I no Gerry ( rest his soul) rated the Fortis bag very highly.

Awesome sleeping bag (heavy though).
Had a take at 1am and it was -6 and I was as warm as toast.
I’ve an unused oversized one.

Same for me, didn’t think the bag was warm at all, would never have classed it as a 5 season bag.

I must be getting soft in my old age as I was cold in my fortis bag in october. Sold it and bought the fox ventec and much warmer but its bigger than the fortis but not an issue as goes on a barrow.
