Have we bought the ErgpBaby carrying bag in the winter, so there is no way we passed off buying the fleece cover and weather protection. The fleece is washable, which is great. When attaching the bag we needed initially bissl help of the accompanying description, but we went super. Very handy are the small slip pockets for the feet. The fleece is individually attached or in conjunction with the weather protection. While it will cost its price, but the wearing of Ergo is really great, because the burden is not on the back but on the hips. True comfort. We can only recommend.
