Searching for good quality rectangular sleeping bag. Advice please?

[adriatikfan]

Apologies if this has been done before but I can't find anything through 'Search'.

Having had a mummy style bag for many many years, I've grown to feeling uncomfortable in it and would like to shift back to a rectangular bag.

This will be used pretty much 3-season in a small-ish tent, occasionally in a caravan awning and maybe the odd once or twice umder a tarp.

I know there's quite a lot of good feeling toowards Tesco kit but is their rectangular bag up to this sort of thing?

If not, can anyone please recommend a good quality, value for money bag, which will last me a few years?

TIA

Best Wishes
David

These are supposed to be pretty good as a down option

Vango Venom 200 Square ? however it's only rated as 2 season but could uprate it with a liner (fleece or silk).
I picked one up at a bargain price and seen them on sale other times too.

Stumbled across this the other day; looks nice but I don't suppose it will be cheap;

Seems to me that most rectangular bags are designed for summer use or are huge bulky synthetic things; OK for car camping but not for stuffing in a rucksack.

Big Agnes do some nice down bags, somewhere in between a mummy and a rectangle shape. I had their Lost River which didn't have any insulation in the bottom so still packed down as small as a regular down bag.

I only sold it a couple of months ago on here but they do pop up on ebay from time to time

I've got a tesco one but its the double is big and heavy but use it when I'm not far from the car. I like it so much sometimes I even use it at home.

Thanks for the recommendation.

How warm do you find the Snugpack Navigator? Prices on this look really good.

I have had no cold problems with the Navigator, although under the tarp I always use an army goretex bivvy bag and if it is very cold I back it up with a Snugpak Thermalon knitted polyester liner.

My only complaint with this bag is that it's just not quite long enough for me to really draw the hood up tight without bending my legs a little; I'm 6'6" tall.
