Sleeping bags

[slime_33]

Hi, looking at getting a new sleeping bag to fit my Nash wide boy bedchair. Price not really an issue, so looking for recommendations. It has to be an all season bag. At present I've got a fox 5 season bag which is about 17 years old and using a Trakkerproducts throw over top as well. Looking for a bag those really warm so I don't have to wear layers of clothes!

whats people got and views/recommendations?

thanks for your help 😁

All i say is , without layers of clothes on in your bag ,when you have a run in the middle of the night ,you either have to get dressed before you get to the run or get vey cold very quick playing a fish.

Dayvid, thank you for your reply. I understand what you're saying and I would only probably be wearing track suit bottoms and hoody. If you saw what I have to wear at the moment I look like the Michelin man. Vest top, thermal t-shirt, polo shirt, hoody top, Woolley jumper, Woolley hat,  bib a brace, hooded coat. As you can imagine I'm pretty restricted on movement lol.

I use the Tracker Big Snooze wide , and fish 12 months a year ,rain or shine .

I bought the wide as i dont do the zip up , so it hangs a little over the edge of the bedchair

Got the same one. Bit annoyed the middle bickle ripped all the stitching. Trekker didnt even respond when i complained about it, & a landing net pole, so won't be giving them any of my moneysany time soon.

Same as with Trakkerproducts, I spent £500 on an armadillo camo bivvy and winter skin. Had to wait 2 weeks for delivery. Picked it up from my local shop. Straight down the lake with it for a weekend session. Started to put up bivvy and all the inside was stuck together and the inner waterproof silicone type liner was pulling away from the material of the bivvy.m same with the winter skin. 

Took it back to shop on the Monday morning, they sent it back saying I had neglected it and badly treated it!! Never got my money back or a replacement. Will never buy their products again!!!

I bought a Wychwood Morpheus Extreme. Love it to bits, it has top and bottom 'flaps' that attach it to your bedchair, but check how wide wide boy is. Zips on either side so you can get out right or left. 

 

My alternative would be the Gardner Beastie I have seen.
