The best sleeping bag I've had, excellent quality of workmanship and, as one of the few, it manages to maintain thermal comfort in my case.
Snugpak Special Forces 2 sleeping bag - Olive
Light and compact sleeping bag with a mummy design in green color, ensuring a comfortable body position during sleep. It is made from Snugpack's proprietary materials, such as Paratex Steelplate, Paratex Light, and Softie Premier.
Temperatures and usage conditions
T-comfort: -7 deg. C - the lowest temperature at which a woman can comfortably sleep through the night,
T-limit: -12 deg. C - the minimum temperature at which a man can sleep through the night without discomfort.
Material Paratex Steelplate and Paratex Light, DWR coating
The outer layer of the sleeping bag is made of Paratex Steelplate fabric, which provides high breathability (12 l/m2/24h), good wind protection, and high moisture resistance due to the DWR impregnation (Durable Water Repellent).
The inner layer of the sleeping bag is made of Paratex Light, which features high breathability and wind resistance. The fabric's structure prevents moisture accumulation inside the sleeping bag caused by the condensation of heat generated by the body in low ambient temperatures.
Inside the sleeping bag, in the foot area, there is a reinforced piece of fabric that, in addition to improving insulating properties, allows for sleeping in shoes without fear of damaging the sleeping bag. There are also two small loops that allow easy hanging of the sleeping bag for airing.
Softie Premier filling
The filling of the sleeping bag is Softie Premier, which provides good heat retention even in humid environments, and its soft structure makes the sleeping bag pleasant to the touch. The unique proprietary fiber construction of the filling allows for both hand and machine washing of the sleeping bag if necessary.
Two-way zipper, drawstring around the head
The sleeping bag is equipped with a centrally located two-way zipper from the renowned company YKK. Internally, a protective strip is used to prevent fabric from getting caught in the zipper and to reduce heat loss. Additional thermal protection is provided by the characteristic drawstring around the head typical of mummy-style sleeping bags.
Set elements
A practical compression cover with buckles is included with the sleeping bag, which protects it during transport and from 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.
Anti Snag is a technology used in sleeping bags to prevent the zipper from snagging. Thanks to the use of a special anti-snag tape along the zipper and an external protective strip, the risk of snagging the fabric when zipping or unzipping the sleeping bag is minimized. Such a solution not only makes it easier to operate the zipper, but also increases the durability of the product, protecting the fabric from mechanical damage.
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.
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.
