The Softie 12 sleeping bag from the well-known British manufacturer Snugpak can be considered a standard on the four-season sleeping bag market. After all, its first version was already on the market in 1987. Since then, other winter sleeping bags can only be "copy" from it. And what's more, the Softie 12 is still manufactured directly in Great Britain.
Despite the fact that the comfortable temperature for sleeping in this sleeping bag is normatively set at -10 °C (and the limit temperature even at -15 °C), the Softie 12 sleeping bag remains very light and compact. Thanks to its low weight, you will barely feel its presence in the backpack.
Snugpak's patented materials were used to make this sleeping bag, especially the iconic Softie Premier thermal insulation layer, which has excellent insulating properties, keeps body heat inside and ensures a high level of comfort. Additional warmth and comfort comes with the mummy design of the sleeping bag, which further minimizes heat loss during the night.
The Snugpak Softie 9 Hawk sleeping bag is equipped along its entire length with a two-way zipper of the Japanese brand YKK, which prevents heat from escaping and at the same time the penetration of wind and cold air into the sleeping bag. In addition, the zip is equipped with an inner baffle, thanks to which it insulates better. Maximum warmth is ensured by a drawstring hood that is fully adjustable and customizable.
We must also mention the fact that this sleeping bag does not have a stitched construction, which reduces the risk of cold spots. Your body heat will also escape less thanks to the insulated shoulder partition. In addition, the sleeping bag has increased resistance to moisture. But if you do get wet, thanks to the loops in the legs of the sleeping bag, you can quickly and easily ventilate and dry it.
If you are traveling as a couple, the Snugpak Softie 12 sleeping bag offers the possibility of connecting two sleeping bags together (one piece must be with the left and the other with the right zipper). Thanks to this, you can also warm each other while sleeping. You also get a compression bag with each sleeping bag, which makes packing of the sleeping bag really compact.
