The compression sack is indeed small, which can be an advantage for the whole set. Once packed and compressed, the sleeping bag takes up very little space, especially compared to competing brands with similar features, which is a big plus and fits easily in a backpack. The whole thing with the cover weighs just a little over 1200 grams. The fabric is pleasant to the touch, and the inside appears fluffy. Unfortunately, I ultimately returned the sleeping bag to the store because the price seemed too high.

Snugpak Softie 6 Kestrel Olive sleeping bag - left
Rugged sleeping bag design in Olive, mummy style, promoting a natural body posture and allowing for ease of movement while sleeping. It incorporates Snugpak's exclusive materials: 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°C – the minimum temperature at which a woman can sleep comfortably throughout the night.
- T-extreme: -5°C – the lowest temperature at which survival in the sleeping bag is feasible. Not advised for routine use.
Paratex Steelplate construction, Paratex Light lining
The exterior of the sleeping bag is crafted from Paratex Steelplate fabric, known for its excellent breathability, efficient wind protection, and enhanced moisture resistance due to DWR impregnation (Durable Water Repellency). This feature ensures that water doesn't absorb, even during morning dew, as droplets stay on the surface. The inner material is composed of Paratex Light, a lightweight, soft fabric offering breathability of 12 l/m2/24h and effective wind resistance. This construction prevents moisture accumulation caused by condensation.
Reinforced material is used in the bottom foot section, enhancing thermal performance and enabling use with footwear without harming the fabric. Additionally, there are two loops for easy hanging and airing the sleeping bag.
Softie Premier filling
The interior is padded with Softie Premier, a synthetic fiber that ensures effective thermal insulation, even in wet conditions. With its soft texture, it offers a comfortable feel against the skin. The unique fiber structure allows for both hand and machine washing without compromising its properties.
YKK zipper on the left side, thermal strip
The model features a two-way zipper from the well-known manufacturer YKK, located on the left side. Inside, a thermal baffle prevents the fabric from snagging in the zipper and minimizes heat loss. It allows for two sleeping bags with opposite zippers to be combined into one.
Cold-protecting hood
The shaped hood provides excellent protection for the head against the cold. A drawcord offers additional warmth retention on chilly nights.
Convenient transport and storage
Transporting and storing the model is a breeze. Once packed, it achieves compact dimensions of 19 x 18 cm and tips the scales at just 1200 g, ensuring it remains lightweight for gear transportation.
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.

A lightweight, synthetic sleeping bag with good breathability and warmth. The material is very pleasant to the touch. The only downside is the slightly too small compression sack, which makes it difficult to pack the sleeping bag inside.
