Snugpak
The Snugpak name combines our two passions, keeping you warm and providing compact products.A passion that started in 1977, when options for lightweight sleeping bags & clothing were limited, and the affordable kit available was bulky & heavy.
Snugpak used its expertise to develop the exclusive insulation called Softie®, which gave birth to the first affordable lightweight sleeping bag and our strapline
'Brand in the hand'.
Snugpak innovation into the lightweight market continues, we are a world leader in lightweight & technical products.

Origin: Imported
Softie® – The brand name for the synthetic (Polyester) filling we use for the Softie® ranges of sleeping bags. It utilises superfine yarns bound with special resins to produce a luxurious down-like feel. It is created from staple yarns which mirror the compositions of natural insulation (As opposed to continuously extruded as in most synthetic fills) a variety of yarn processes are applied to give a more random effect, that is some are curled, some crimped and some are just left as they are. The random nature of the process results in a product that closely resembles the structure of natural insulators and the way they perform. Given all this technology Softie® is still easy to care for, washable and retains a lot of its thermal properties when wet.
Features
- Retains heat even when wet
- Super-fine filaments
- Natural soft touch
Another Manufacturer’s Insulation

Snugpak’s Softie® Insulation
Randomised fine filament fibres create extra voids and loft to trap more warm air while keeping the same weight as a standard insulation.
