A very decent sleeping bag. At temperatures of 10°C and above, you can sleep in it even without using a mattress or self-inflating pad – the floor of the tent or a thin foam mat is enough, although comfort may be limited due to uneven ground. Recently, I used it together with the Bushmen Hideout and full clothing (around 10°C) and it was really warm. Adding a mattress or a self-inflating pad, you can easily sleep through the night at around 0°C, which matches the information from the manufacturer. After a cold night, the material slightly absorbs moisture from condensation on the inner side of the Bushmen Hideout, but it does not penetrate inside the sleeping bag and stays on the surface. If someone likes to sleep in shoes (I personally don't), the bottom of the sleeping bag is made of black, supposedly more durable material. Unfortunately, I haven't checked this myself. You can use the dedicated loops for drying the sleeping bag. To sum up, the product is successful. Sleep comfort in the recommended temperature range is very good and provides pleasant warmth, which I consider a big advantage. I highly recommend it.

Snugpak Softie 6 Kestrel Olive sleeping bag - right
Rugged sleeping bag model in Olive, featuring a mummy shape that promotes a natural body posture and allows for freedom 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 as per 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 suitable for routine use.
Paratex Steelplate construction, Paratex Light lining
The external layer of the sleeping bag is crafted from Paratex Steelplate fabric, known for its excellent breathability, effective wind defense, and enhanced moisture resistance due to DWR impregnation (Durable Water Repellency). This feature ensures that even morning dew won't cause water absorption as droplets stay on the surface. The interior features Paratex Light – a lightweight, soft material offering breathability of 12 l/m2/24h with robust wind resistance, which helps to prevent moisture buildup from condensation.
The foot section utilizes reinforced fabric, enhancing thermal efficiency and permitting sleep in footwear without compromising the material. Two loops are provided for easy hanging and airing of the sleeping bag.
Softie Premier filling
The interior is padded with Softie Premier, a synthetic fiber that offers excellent thermal insulation, even in wet conditions. Its soft texture provides comfort against the skin. The unique fiber structure permits both hand and machine washing without compromising its qualities.
YKK zipper on the right side, thermal strip
The model includes a two-way zipper from the well-known brand YKK, situated on the right side. Inside, a thermal baffle is installed to prevent fabric from snagging in the zipper and to minimize heat loss. Two sleeping bags with opposing zippers can be connected to form one.
Cold-protecting hood
The shaped hood offers excellent protection for the head against cold. A drawcord enhances heat retention on chilly nights.
Convenient transport and storage
Transporting and storing the model is a breeze. Once packed, its compact dimensions of 19x18 cm and weight of 1200 g ensure it's lightweight and easy to carry among your gear.
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.
