Snugpak Softie Elite 3 Sleeping Bag Olive - left
Rugged sleeping bag in Olive, featuring a mummy shape for optimal comfort and full range of movement during rest. Crafted from Snugpak’s advanced materials, including Paratex Micro, Paratex Light, Reflectatherm, and Softie.
Temperatures and usage conditions
Operating temperature ranges for the Softie Elite 3 sleeping bag are specified according to the EN 13537 standard:
- T-comfort: -5 deg. C – minimum temperature at which a woman can expect a comfortable night's sleep.
- T-extreme: -10 deg. C – lowest limit at which survival is attainable in the sleeping bag. Use in these conditions is not advised for regular operations.
Paratex Micro construction, Paratex Light lining, and Reflectatherm
The external shell of the sleeping bag utilizes Paratex Micro fabric, offering excellent protection against wind and superior moisture resistance due to its DWR impregnation (Durable Water Repellency). This treatment ensures that even on damp mornings in the field, dew forms on the sleeping bag’s surface rather than penetrating and soaking through. The interior lining is crafted from a blend of Paratex Light and Reflectatherm materials. Paratex Light stands out for its soft texture, exceptional windproof qualities, and impressive breathability of 12l/m2/24h. Enhanced breathability efficiently manages internal moisture generated from body heat in cold environments. Reflectatherm is a metallized fabric engineered to reflect body heat back inside, effectively increasing thermal retention by 15%.
A reinforced material section is located within the foot area of the sleeping bag, enhancing insulation and enabling users to sleep with footwear without risking damage to the bag. Additionally, two integrated loops provide convenient options for hanging and airing out the sleeping bag.
Softie filling
Filled with Softie insulation, the sleeping bag ensures excellent heat retention, even in damp conditions, while its soft texture delivers a comfortable feel. The unique proprietary fiber design enables both hand and machine washing as required. Two interior pockets provide convenient storage for essential gear.
YKK zipper on the left side, thermal strip, expanding panel
Featuring a two-way zipper from the reputable YKK brand, positioned on the left side, the sleeping bag is designed for enhanced durability. An internal protective strip guards against fabric being caught in the zipper and significantly reduces heat loss. Models in the Elite series incorporate an expanding side panel with a zipper, delivering extra space inside the sleeping bag for improved mobility and the option to regulate thermal comfort when outside temperatures rise. This panel serves as an added layer of insulation and can be easily opened for convenience.
Cold-protective hood
Anatomically contoured hood delivers superior thermal insulation by fully covering the head and minimizing heat loss in cold environments. The ergonomic design also offers enhanced protection against wind and moisture.
Convenient transport and storage
Designed for ease of transport and storage, the sleeping bag folds down to a compact size of 26 x 22 cm and weighs only 1600 g, making it simple to carry and minimizing the load in your gear.
Set elements
Equipped with a practical compression sack featuring a snap buckle, the sleeping bag remains secure during transport and is shielded from dirt and potential 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.
Paratex Micro is a kind of dense fabric, characterized by high windproofness and waterproofness. The fabric is lightweight and durable, yet soft to the touch.
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.
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 is a synthetic filling technology used in sleeping bags and outdoor clothing. It is known for its excellent thermal insulation properties, imitating natural down filling, but with added moisture resistance and ease of maintenance.
