Go for a fishing bag, big sizes and very warm. I've slept in an open fronted bivvy in February in mine and nice and warm.

The downside is they are bulky and can cost a bit more but you won't regret getting one.



That's why I'm looking at this prologic one, not just for price but overall description.

Mucker 1844, I realise your comment regarding anglers not having
a 'proper' tent might have been slightly tongue in cheek so I
I am not going to 'bite' too readily.
No angler I know would put up with the rubbish 'proper' tents I see on campsites.Our bivvies are designed to cope with all four seasons,and still remain warm and dry and not fold flat at a gust of wind.I would guess that I could buy eight or nine comparable 'proper' tents for what my bivvy cost.
As for sleeping bags,angling bags are bulky but you have a vast choice of specs. and prices.Buy a good name (Tracker,Sundridge etc.) lots of discounts available at the larger stores.

Stitch through will give you cold sits. You want an offset channel construction. No cold bridges and no flappy inner.




Could you link me some examples please?


This describes construction

types

Any decent make of bag should have baffles, offset or boxed construction.

Just a note that you can only buy the Mammut Montana range in-store now as they aren't doing home delivery on the remaining stock.

I was in the market for a Mammut bag and tweeted Go Outdoors last week. Sadly, they won't be getting in any more of the range for the foreseeable future.

In the end, I ordered a Mammut Lahar 3 season from Bergfreunde (managed to get it down to £93 inc delivery with the voucher you get for signing up to the newsletter). I contemplated the Nordic (not as warm) and the Kompakt (too expensive) before plumping for the middle option. I've had an Ajungilak (pre-Mammut rebrand) Igloo Summer bag for years and they are good quality bags. My partner needs something warmer though for British summers, hence the 3 season.
