Snugpak - SOFTIE 12 OSPREY WGTE

I've used the army bag and a similar Snugpak bag (Softie 12) for some pretty long periods and down to about -12. Both will cope with winter conditions, and if you are on a tight budget the army bag may be a good call. The downside is the massive pack size and weight. The Softie will be a bit better on this front and I find it more comfortable overall. If you have more money to spend, a down sleeping bag or possibly more advanced synthetic bag would almost certainly be a better investment.

The softie's come with compression straps, I used to sell Snugpak stuff for a living. The factory is in the same village. Either way Snugpak stuff is not light or compact but it's very warm even when wet. With what I know now I would go straight to good value down for a sleeping bag or quilt. (Aeigismax has insane value) I would pick a Snugpak jacket over a down jacket for really shitty British weather, SJ9 is my favourite. DM me for any snugpak questions 👌

I was a "down" disbeliever for a decade, thought it would always get wet and fail. Turns out that's not the case at all. Turned out I could keep a little bundle dry in my bag. I screamed Snugpak for years but their sleeping bags are three times the weight for the warmth. [https://lighterpack.com/r/p99r8r](https://lighterpack.com/r/p99r8r) My old Snugpak 12 weighs more than my tent + Quilt. If you don't have to carry your stuff then Snugpak all the way

I'll just mention that my snugpak 'winter' bag is rated to -10C, but there's no way I'd use it in those temperatures. Take the rating with a pinch of salt. My Alpkit down bag (-7C comfort rating) is way warmer than the Snugpak. I don't know about the arctic bag, I have the modular system. And yes, get a decent mat.

I have a snugpack bag. It's a good bag for the price and I believe accurately reflects the temp rating. Plus they come with a sinch pack which is nice.

Yes the sleepingbag we use in the army are very cheap and are pure shit, i'll send Carinthia an email they make bad products.. We use our equipment 24/7 and in all seasons. Its an misconception because people buy the whole "military spec" therm and get some cheep Ali express shit from the internet. The only down side to the military sleepingbags is the weight and the bulk, other then that iff you dont mind it the carinthia bags are brilliant. For me the snugpak sleepingbag are to small in width.

I'm a huge fan of Snugpak bags. I've used them in all 4 seasons in Ontario and Alberta. In the arctic. Mountians and deserts in California, Afghanistan, and Iraq.  They're light, small pack size, and warm even when wet. There's probably newer fancier stuff out there now but Snugpak bags are worth looking at.

Snugpak has always been my go-to.

Love Snugpak. Would OP liable for tariffs though?

Snugpak make basically all you want from a sleeping bag. Bit more expensive but great night's sleep.

I have a Snugpak sleeping bag and a North Face tent. North Face will give you 40% off in their pro program
