You
cant Re-invent the wheel But Snugpak have Re-invented the sleeping
bag!!!
Almost
30 years of working with the cream of the worlds special forces
culminates with this years range of military product. A full range of
sleeping bags all with the Snugpak expanding zip baffle system gives
you the versatility to operate in any condition, from clammy tropical
afternoons, harsh desert nights or icy cold snow fields. The expansion
system also allows you to control both temperature and size of the
sleeping bag - open wide for maximum movement or zipped up tight to
trap that precious warm air for a snug nights sleep.
Sleeping
cramped is now a thing of the past. How often have you used a sleeping
bag which has restricted your movement when turning or changing
sleeping positions? The Snugpak ELITE sleeping bags swell as
you move and turn when sleeping in the bag. It allows you to sleep
curled up without feeling cramped. The result is more comfort and less
waking when you should be soundly sleeping.
Just
like the caterpillar chrysalis, the new Snugpak sleeping bags are made
for movement and growth with enough expansion allowing you to even sit
cross-legged whilst reading or having a cuppa in the tent.
The
secret is in the CHRYSALIS baffle system pioneered by Snugpak, (UK?s
biggest manufacturer of sleeping bags). In normal use the bag boasts
all the features of a traditional sleeping bag, but the jumbo
zip baffle can be opened out to give much more room within the bag.
If the temperature drops you simply zip the bag tighter and instantly
boost the thermal performance.
One
other unique feature in these ?growth? bags is the provision of ?Kidi
Clips? placed three quarters of the way down enabling
the bottom of the bag to be folded down for smaller sleepers like
children so they don?t slip down in the bag. This also adds extra
warmth to their feet area. And as they later grow in height the same
bag will last them into adult life.
Snugpak
pioneered the original ?brand-in-the-hand? sleeping bags that have
recently been copied but not matched for thermal efficiency by many
newcomers. No wonder that Snugpak?s ultra light weight and small
packing size are chosen by the Armed Forces around the world.
The Snugpak CHRYSALIS
sleeping bags feature:
- Breathable Paratex outers and
lining that retard moisture getting in and drawing perspiration out,
improving performance even when sweating
- Unique and stable proprietary
?Softie? filling WITHOUT the need for quilting, which only cause cold
spots and accelerate body heat loss
- Proven breathable
?Reflectatherm? barrier that reflects body heat back into the bag
improving the body?s heat retention by 15%
- Added advantage of being able
to wash the bag when needed
- All this in a small-packing,
lightweight bag the size of not much more than a football with the
ability to keep you warm in most climatesI
