A very decent sleeping bag. In temperatures from 10°C upwards, you can sleep in it even without a mattress or self-inflating mat – the floor of the tent or a thin foam mat is enough, although in that case, comfort may be limited by the unevenness of the ground. Recently, I used it together with a Bushmen Hideout and full clothing (around 10°C) and it was really warm. Adding a mattress or self-inflating mat, you can easily sleep at around 0°C overnight, which matches the information from the manufacturer. After a cold night, the material slightly absorbs moisture from condensation on the inside of the Bushmen Hideout, but it doesn’t penetrate the sleeping bag and remains on the surface. If someone likes to sleep in shoes (I personally don’t), the bottom of the sleeping bag is sewn from black material, supposedly more durable. Unfortunately, I haven’t tested this myself. You can use dedicated loops for drying the sleeping bag. To sum up, the product is successful. Sleeping comfort within the recommended temperature range is very good and provides pleasant warmth, which I consider a big advantage. I sincerely recommend it.

Snugpak Softie 6 Kestrel Olive sleeping bag - right
Durable sleeping bag model in Olive, mummy-shaped, ensuring a natural body position and freedom of movement during sleep. It uses Snugpak's proprietary fabrics: Paratex Steelplate, Paratex Light, and Softie Premier.
Temperatures and usage conditions
Sleeping bag Softie 6 temperature ratings according to EN 13537 standard:
- T-comfort: 0 st. C – the lowest temperature at which a woman can comfortably sleep through the night,
- T-extreme: -5 st. C – the lowest temperature at which survival in the sleeping bag is possible. Not recommended for regular use.
Paratex Steelplate construction, Paratex Light lining
The outer part of the sleeping bag is made of Paratex Steelplate fabric, which is characterized by very good breathability, effective wind protection, and increased moisture resistance thanks to DWR impregnation (Durable Water Repellency). This prevents water absorption even in morning dew, as drops remain on the surface. The interior is made of Paratex Light – a lightweight, soft fabric with breathability of 12 l/m2/24h and good wind resistance. This design prevents moisture buildup caused by condensation.
The bottom foot area uses reinforced material that not only improves thermal performance but also allows sleeping in footwear without damaging the fabric. There are also two loops for convenient hanging and airing the sleeping bag.
Softie Premier filling
The interior is filled with Softie Premier, a synthetic fiber providing effective thermal insulation even in damp conditions. Its soft texture ensures a pleasant feel against the skin. The special fiber structure allows both hand and machine washing without losing its properties.
YKK zipper on the right side, thermal strip
The model is equipped with a two-way zipper from renowned manufacturer YKK, placed on the right side. On the inside, there is a thermal baffle that prevents fabric from getting caught in the zipper and reduces heat loss. It is possible to join two sleeping bags with opposite zippers into one.
Cold-protecting hood
The shaped hood effectively protects the head from cold. The drawcord allows further heat retention during chilly nights.
Convenient transport and storage
The model is easy to transport and store. When packed, it reaches compact dimensions of 19x18 cm and weighs 1200 g, making it lightweight for gear transport.
Set elements
The set includes a compression sack with a snap buckle that secures the sleeping bag during transport and protects it from dirt and mechanical damage.
