Two season sleeping bag

Fabric Information:

Our Sleeper range of entry level bags are filled with a 'Insufil', a 'siliconised hollowfibre'. The synthetic fibres are structured to trap warm air between tiny cavities in the fibre. When unpacked the 'Hollowfibres' decompress and spring back to gain maximum re-loft.

The inner lining of the Sleepers is 'Supersoft'. A silky smooth 'Nylon fabric. The latest yarn technology has been specially woven to produce a highly durable and comfortable lining.

'Lightweight Nylon' is the outer fabric, using a combination of brilliant colours and a distinctive black ripstop.

Special Features:

• Double Offset quilted eliminates cold spots. Filling regains full loft, traps more air, retaining more body warmth.
• Compression stuffsack:  Compresses to micro pack size.
• Layering capability:  Bag can be teamed with a liner - 2-season bag can become 3-season.
• Snugfit hood:  Fitted with a draw cord so pulls into shape like a jacket hood minimizing heat loss.
• Zip baffle:  Prevents heat escaping through the zip area.
• Circle foot:  To warm and minimises weight of material used.
• Hanging tabs:  For hanging bags for airing and drying.
• Anti-snag zip:  Prevents 2-way zip from snagging.

Technical Information:

• Weight:        1600 grams
• Length:         86 in.

Two season, lightweight sleeping bag

Fabric Information:

'Infin8T' is the new fabric of Snugpaks flagship 'Softie' range of sleeping bags. It has a new luxuriously textured finish and incorporates the special Infin8T weave, designed specifically for Snugpak by long term fabric partners, Perseverance Mills, manufacturers of Pertex®.

Pertex® Is the brand name for Pereseverance Mills UK made, high performance, lightweight nylon. The brand leader in sleeping bag casing fabrics Pertex uses many thousands of bundles of microfine yarn within its construction. The capillaries created between these yarns actively draw moisture away from the source and spread it across the surface area allowing it to more readily evaporate. As the moisture is evaporating from the fabric, and not from the occupant, chilling is dramatically reduced.

Fill Information:

Softie or 'superfine high-thermal' is a combination of fibres with different crimp systems and surface finishes. Some are crimped, some are curled and some just left as they are. The random nature of the process results in a product that closely resembles the structure of natural down and the way it performs. The yarns used are staple yarns as in natural insulations (as opposed to continuously extruded as in most synthetic fills). The fibres have now been updated with special binders and treatments for an excellent combination of softness and durability. Softie is extremely lightweight, and has excellent re-loft abilities, when unpacked.

Special Features:

Profiling - This bag is a 'profiled' (unquilted) bag which uses the 'no stitch through' method of construction. Most traditionally constructed sleeping bags have quilted stitches to hold the bag and fibres in place. Whilst developing new resins to enhance the softness of our bags we came across a blend which gives a remarkable degree of strength and structure, with self supporting fibres, allowing us to remove all the stitch lines and cold spots that can occur with quilted bags. It also helps with re-loft as the 'Softie' filling is not held back by stitches. We estimate that by 'profiling' we have increased the loft of our bags by up to 30%, without adding anything to the weight or packsize.

Reflectatherm layer - "Space Age technology in a down to earth application".

This metalised fabric is designed to reflect heat and retain warmth. A highly breathable material, which adds little to the weight or packsize of the product and provides at least 15% additional warmth whilst being undetectable by touch in the sleeping bag or garment.

Additional features include; Compression stuffsack, Layering capability, Snugfit hood, Zip baffle, Circle foot, Hanging dry tabs, Anti-snag zip two way zip.

TS1 Thermal Suede, lightweight polyester with a suede finish uses a combination of yarns with different thicknesses. Microfine yarns (less then 1 decitex) are on the outer side, and Macrofibre yarns (3 decitex) are on the inner side, which are raised to produce a short pile, similar in feel to suede. The construction exploits a basic physical property – that water will always move from a low to a high surface area, or from the Macro to the Micro filament yarns, thus moving water from the body towards the outside of the bag.
