Sleeping Bags & Shrouds

 We chose the VRS2 standard bag to test, being in the middle of the range between the compact and the wide variations.The Ventec was the quickest bag to warm up, reaching over 33ºC in just an hour. We absolutely love the RipStop waterproof material and the fact the versatility of the bag means it can be used as either a fully fledged five season or simply converted to a smaller three-season bag. The major drawback is that when packed away in its supplied bag it is the largest on test and considerably larger than the others. However, this is a small price to pay, especially when the majority of anglers are fully equipped with barrows.
