TrakkerVersatexx Sleeping Bag,
If you’re in the market for a versatile and lightweight three season sleeping bag then you need look no further. The team at Trakker have hit it out of the park once again with their impressive Versatexx Sleeping Bag. Designed to keep your at an ambient temperature from early spring right the way through to late autumn, this sleeping bag will ensure that you can enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep on the bank throughout the most popular carp fishing seasons. This sleeping bag was put through intensive product testing prior to release (as all Trakker products are) and the brand was getting the same feedback time and time again: it was a great bag but it would be even better if it was finished with a waterproof shell, allowing anglers to spend nights on the bank under the stars without worrying that an unexpected rain shower will leave them soaked to the skin. Trakker took this feedback and fitted the Versatexx with an Aquatexx outer shell. Aquatexx is Trakker’s bespoke waterproof material which is used across its range of high-performance bivvies. This meant it was the perfect choice for use on the Versatexx and it finished the bag off perfectly.
The waterproof outer is only the beginning when it comes to the top end features on this sleeping bag, however. The bag has been full insulated throughout using premier X7 hollowfibre filling. This ensures that it is supremely insulated and able to perfectly trap your body heat throughout the night – keeping you toasty warm even on the colder nights of the year. The bag has a dual lining, providing you with additional insulation and warmth when you need it. At the top and base of the bag you’ll find a fleece lining. This material has impressive heat retention properties and it ensures that your feet stay warm throughout the night – as well as preventing your body heat from escaping out of the open end of the bag. However, the one main drawback of fleece is that many anglers find it difficult to turn in a fleece lined bag. This is why the main body section of the bag has been lined with super-soft polyester and the foot section of the bag has been over-lined with an ultra-smooth material, too. The soft and smooth lining allows you to move freely inside the bag, ensuring that you can turn freely in the night without waking to find yourself in a tangled mess.
The Trakker Versatexx Sleeping Bag has been finished with quick-release zips, which you’ll find on both sides of the bag. This allows you to set your bedchair up in any configuration inside your bivvy as it allows you to escape from your bag on either side to respond to the scream from your bite alarm. The bag has been fitted with dual baffles, too, on either side of both zips. These internal and external baffles ensure that not only is cold air prevented from penetrating the bag but it also helps to further insulate the bag, further trapping your body heat inside the bag. The Versatexx Sleeping Bag is supplied in its own compression stuff sack, for ease of transportation and storage, and the bag weighs in at a mere 4kg. It is 215cm long and 90cm wide, so not only does it comfortably fit onto most standard bedchairs but it is also suitable for anglers of all shapes and sizes. If you’re looking for a high quality, three season sleeping bag with a waterproof outer and a highly technical inner then you cannot go wrong with the top-quality Versatexx from Trakker. As a final feature, you can increase the seasonality of the bag by adding the Aquatexx Bed Cover (available for purchase separately).
