Snugpak Special Forces 1 Standard Sleeping Bag - Black
Black, lightweight sleeping bag with a mummy design, providing comfortable body positioning and freedom of movement during sleep. It is made from Snugpack's proprietary materials such as Paratex Steelplate, Paratex Light, and Softie Premier. The sleeping bag in standard size measures 220 cm when unfolded. The interior is equipped with a Reflectatherm layer, which reflects body heat, significantly enhancing thermal comfort.
Temperatures and conditions of use
The Special Forces 1 model is designed as a single-season sleeping bag, suitable for use in positive temperatures and in warmer months. The operating temperature range is from 0 to 5 deg. C.
Material Paratex Steelplate and Paratex Light, DWR coating
The outer layer is made of Paratex Steelplate material, ensuring high breathability, wind protection, and high moisture resistance thanks to DWR waterproofing (Durable Water Repellency). Even on damp mornings, dew droplets gather on the surface without penetrating the sleeping bag. The interior is made of Paratex Light material, characterised by a soft texture, good wind resistance, and breathability at the level of 12l/m2/24h. High breathability prevents moisture condensation in the sleeping bag, which can occur from body heat and lower ambient temperature.
A metallised Reflectatherm fabric has been placed under the inner layer, reflecting heat generated by the body, increasing the sleeping bag's thermal efficiency by approximately 15%. Near the feet, there is a reinforced section of material, enhancing insulation and allowing sleeping with shoes on without risking damage to the sleeping bag. Two small loops allow easy hanging and airing of the sleeping bag.
Softie Premier filling
The sleeping bag is filled with Softie Premier material, ensuring good heat retention even in humid conditions, and the soft structure of the material makes the sleeping bag pleasant to the touch. The special fibre construction of the filling allows for hand and machine washing.
The mummy design has been optimised to minimise heat loss. Lack of classic through-stitches eliminates the formation of thermal bridges, providing even insulation across the entire surface.
Two-way YKK zipper, adjustable hood
The two-way zipper from YKK is centrally located, with an protective strip on the inside to prevent fabric snags in the zip and to limit heat loss. The anatomical shape of the hood enhances protection against head cold.
Convenient transport and storage, Special Forces system
The model is easy to transport and store. When folded, the sleeping bag measures 16 x 16 cm, and its weight is 1200 g. The set includes a compression sack, offering protection against dirt and damage during transport.
The sleeping bag is part of the Special Forces system and can be combined with the Special Forces 2 model using an additional Zip Baffle strip, allowing the creation of a set for temperatures down to about -20 deg. C.

DWR (Durable Water Repellency) is a durable waterproofing treatment that increases the surface tension of water and creates a hydrophobic coating on materials. It protects the material from rapid soaking, improves drying, provides stain resistance and increases breathability.
YKK zippers are high-quality zippers commonly used in clothing and accessories, manufactured by the Japanese YKK Corporation - one of the world's largest zipper manufacturers.
Paratex Light is an advanced fabric used in outdoor clothing and equipment, distinguished by its lightness, windproofness and breathability. It effectively wicks away moisture, providing thermal comfort even in harsh conditions. In addition, it protects against wind and light rain.
Paratex Steelplate is an extremely durable fabric used in outdoor products such as sleeping bags and protective clothing, designed for extreme conditions. It is characterized by high resistance to abrasion, tearing and mechanical damage, while providing protection against strong wind and moisture. The fabric is also breathable, allowing it to effectively wick away moisture while remaining lightweight.
Reflectatherm is a technology developed to enhance the thermal insulation properties of clothing and sleeping bags. It involves the use of a thin layer of fabric with metalized dots that reflect the heat generated by the body back to the wearer. This reduces heat loss and thermal comfort is significantly improved. Reflectatherm increases the thermal insulation of the product by up to 15%, with minimal impact on weight and volume.
Softie Premier is a synthetic filling used in sleeping bags and outdoor clothing. It imitates the properties of natural down, offering excellent thermal insulation while remaining lightweight and resilient. Compared to standard Softie filling, the Premier variant is distinguished by increased durability, softness and elasticity. This makes it ideal for demanding conditions, providing the user with thermal comfort and durability even during intensive use.
