If you are looking for a versatile sleeping bag for different conditions, then you can reach for the Softie 9 Hawk model from the famous British company Snugpak. It is a universal solution that will take care of you regardless of the temperature in three seasons of the year. And with the addition of a Snugpak insert (sold separately), this three-season sleeping bag instantly becomes a four-season sleeping bag.
Despite the fact that the comfortable temperature for sleeping in this sleeping bag is normatively set at -5 °C (and the limit temperature even at -10 °C), the Softie 9 Hawk sleeping bag remains very light and compact. Thanks to the weight of 1.5 kg, its presence in the backpack will be minimally felt. The maker even says that the sleeping bag could easily fit into a larger trouser pocket.
Snugpak's patented materials were used to make this sleeping bag, especially the iconic Softie Premier thermal insulation layer, which has excellent insulating properties, traps body heat 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. Maximum warmth is ensured by a drawstring hood that is fully adjustable and customizable.
Last but not least, another advantage of the Softie 9 Hawk sleeping bag should be mentioned, which is that the lining is fixed in place. This prevents it from moving. The sleeping bag can also be conveniently and quickly dried in case it is "attacked" by the morning dew. The above-average length of this sleeping bag is also worth mentioning, so even people of above-average height can sleep comfortably in it. Maybe even with shoes on.
