The Softie 3 Merlin sleeping bag from the famous British company Snugpak is also suitable for more demanding conditions. It can keep you warm and dry no matter what conditions you're facing. This makes this sleeping bag perfect for expeditions, but it will also provide you with a nice extra standard for everyday use if you go on a multi-day hike.
You can sleep comfortably in this sleeping bag from spring to autumn. The comfort temperature is set at 5 °C, the limit (extreme) at 0 °C. Despite these features, the Softie 3 sleeping bag is very light and, above all, compact—after packing it in a compression bag, it is so small that you can easily pack it in a larger trouser pocket. If you have it in your backpack, you won't even know about it.
It is not for nothing that this sleeping bag is an international bestseller among Snugpak models. It is equipped with Softie Premier thermal insulation filling with excellent insulating properties. Sleeping in this material is also comfortable, and you will certainly be pleased with the superior body heat capture, which actually primarily ensures that you stay warm in the sleeping bag.
The high-quality two-way side zippers of the Japanese YKK brand on this sleeping bag have protection against jamming and a baffle, which further protects against heat loss. The advantage is that if you buy one sleeping bag with a zipper on the left and another with a zipper on the right, you can combine both sleeping bags, which is useful if you are traveling as a couple, for example.
We must also mention the fact that this sleeping bag does not have a stitched construction, which reduces the risk of cold spots. 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.
