Sleeping bags for larger (fat!) person

[Toddy]

You totally confused me there.
I truthfully never gave it a thought that it might be you; that would be the last thing I'd think of.
It's not the sort of message you would send, and doesn't sound anything like your posts.

Ah!, just got it, the area !

Depending on how hard it is to get your hands on, try a USGI MSS.

I'm a bigger guy, and even I've got room to roll around in mine. Comes with a bivy, medium weight patrol bag, heavy weight cold weather bag, and a stuff sack. The bags and bivy snap together, so you can create the sleep system that works for you. Check it out on Youtube!

It’s worth looking into quilts too unless you’re planning to sleep in extreme cold.

I totally converted to quilts after getting a goose down IceFlame one, that takes me down to around 5°C. So much lighter and so comfortable to use, I use their straps to keep it in place.

Look at the Snugpak range as you can buy extender panels for those of us who are slightly more padded

Totally agree. I've a snugpack jungle blanket down to 15 degrees. Their bags themselves are excellent. My current one is an oex 3/4 season but it's so buckly it takes up most of my Dutch army rucksack. If the op can afford it look at the down bags. And if size is an issue avoid a mummybag. Too claussltrophobic.

Just used the current issue British military sleep system for a couple of days, specifically the lightweight bag part of the system. Warm, but still tight as regards room/comfort. I’ll recommend it though, but could do with a bit more room for my bulky lump self. I’ll be looking into quilts going forward.

Did you get large size? I found it to be quite a bit roomier than the normal size.

I did yes, it’s only just big enough really, for me at least. The regular version must be reserved for racing sneks id have to imagine
