*You can't Re-invent the wheel, But Snugpak have Re-invented the sleeping bag!!!*
Almost 30 years of working with the cream of the world's special forces culminates with this year's range of military products. 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 night's sleep.
Sleeping cramped is now a thing of the past. How often have you used a sleeping bag that 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 while 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-lightweight 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.
- The unique and stable proprietary 'Softie' filling WITHOUT the need for quilting, which only cause cold spots and accelerate body heat loss.
- The proven breathable 'Reflectatherm' barrier that reflects body heat back into the bag improving the body's heat retention by 15%.
- With the 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 climates.
