Snugpak Softie Antarctica Standard Sleeping Bag - Olive
Winter sleeping bag in olive, with a mummy-style construction, providing comfortable body positioning and unrestricted movement during sleep. It is made from Snugpack's proprietary materials, such as Paratex Steelplate, Paratex Light, and Softie Premier. Inside the sleeping bag, there is a Reflectatherm layer that reflects the heat produced by the body, significantly enhancing thermal comfort during use. The model is standard size, with a length of 220 cm when unfolded.
Temperatures and usage conditions
The Softie Antarctica model was designed for use in extreme conditions, where maintaining warmth and protection against moisture are crucial. The usage temperatures specified by the manufacturer range from -30 to -20 deg. C.
Paratex Steelplate and Paratex Light material, DWR coating
The outer layer of the sleeping bag is made from Paratex Steelplate material, which provides high breathability, good protection against wind, and high moisture resistance due to the use of DWR waterproofing (Durable Water Repellency). This ensures that even during dewy mornings in the field, dew drops will collect on the surface of the sleeping bag without causing it to become saturated. The inner layer of the sleeping bag is made from Paratex Light material, which features a soft texture, high wind resistance, and breathability of 12l/m2/24h. High breathability prevents moisture from accumulating inside the sleeping bag, caused by heat condensation generated by the body and low ambient temperature.
Beneath the inner layer is placed a metallized Reflectatherm fabric that reflects body heat, increasing the thermal efficiency of the sleeping bag by approx. 15%. The internal reinforcement of the foot area allows for sleeping in shoes without the risk of damaging the fabric.
softie premier filling
The filling of the sleeping bag is Softie Premier, which provides good heat retention even in a damp environment, and its soft structure makes the sleeping bag pleasant to the touch. The special proprietary fiber construction of the filling allows for hand and machine washing of the sleeping bag if needed.
The mummy-style construction has been optimized to minimize heat loss. The absence of classic through stitching eliminates the formation of so-called thermal bridges, ensuring uniform insulation across the sleeping bag's surface.
Two-way YKK zipper, adjustable hood
The sleeping bag is equipped with a two-way zipper from the renowned company YKK, centrally placed. Inside there is a protective strip that prevents fabric from getting caught in the zipper and limits heat loss. The anatomically shaped hood offers additional protection against head cooling.
Convenient transport and storage
The model is convenient for transport and storage. When packed, the sleeping bag measures 30 x 25 cm and weighs 2950 g. A practical compression bag is included with the sleeping bag, protecting it during transport and preventing dirt and damage.

DWR (Durable Water Repellency) is a durable waterproofing treatment that increases the surface tension of water and creates a hydrophobic coating on materials. It protects the material from rapid soaking, improves drying, provides stain resistance and increases breathability.
YKK zippers are high-quality zippers commonly used in clothing and accessories, manufactured by the Japanese YKK Corporation - one of the world's largest zipper manufacturers.
Paratex Light is an advanced fabric used in outdoor clothing and equipment, distinguished by its lightness, windproofness and breathability. It effectively wicks away moisture, providing thermal comfort even in harsh conditions. In addition, it protects against wind and light rain.
Paratex Steelplate is an extremely durable fabric used in outdoor products such as sleeping bags and protective clothing, designed for extreme conditions. It is characterized by high resistance to abrasion, tearing and mechanical damage, while providing protection against strong wind and moisture. The fabric is also breathable, allowing it to effectively wick away moisture while remaining lightweight.
Reflectatherm is a technology developed to enhance the thermal insulation properties of clothing and sleeping bags. It involves the use of a thin layer of fabric with metalized dots that reflect the heat generated by the body back to the wearer. This reduces heat loss and thermal comfort is significantly improved. Reflectatherm increases the thermal insulation of the product by up to 15%, with minimal impact on weight and volume.
Softie Premier is a synthetic filling used in sleeping bags and outdoor clothing. It imitates the properties of natural down, offering excellent thermal insulation while remaining lightweight and resilient. Compared to standard Softie filling, the Premier variant is distinguished by increased durability, softness and elasticity. This makes it ideal for demanding conditions, providing the user with thermal comfort and durability even during intensive use.
