Snugpak has a new range with a built in expander panel so you can make the bag more comfortable.
SnugPak ads do not include the dimensions. I guess they think they're USP is the way the bags pak up so snug so they only give the packed up size.

Haha,
Only 100 kg Lightweight!
I recently got hold of a Coleman Polar Something for £25 from Sheppards Stores in Leominster - they've set up a website at
www.sheppardstores.co.uk (I think, won't be too far away from the actual address though). its pretty big at 235cm X 95cm IIRC.
Thx 4 tht kind thought Ogri. I found the site at
www.sheppards.co.uk and a Coleman Poplar Amazon but the price is now £34.99. However, still well good in comparison with the others: size is 235 x 90 and weight 2.5 kg. My current one is 180 x 65 (and weighs 1.8 kg) and I note that the Coleman Fusion Junior is 190 x 70 and described as "for teenagers". Interesting because the Nanok is only marginally bigger at 195 x 78.

Or...........get two of the rectangular bags that zip together and hike in.
Good call, actually. I already have two and although mine are not rectangular they do zip together so taking both would result in a very comfortable, roomy option although heavy at 3.6 kg.
Still well worth considering as they are filled with down and that is supposed to compress much better than other fillings.

A few friends in the forces have since bought ...[Snugpak expanda panels]... because they are wide enough for you to get your bangstick in your bag with you - which is handy - or so they tell me. Personally, I'd rather not poke a fire arm next to my neked body - but each to their own!!!
As long as I can get my baby Gransfors in there with I'll be happy, lol
