Title: Woohoo!
Post by: guest7 on July 02, 2012, 06:28:16 PM: I did a favour for a bloke a little while ago and today he turned up with a pressie for me, a Snugpak Softie 3 sleeping bag, brand new with tags on ;D ;D ;D

I may be smiling for days

Hopefully a bit of karma for you.

Post by: guest7 on July 02, 2012, 08:41:11 PM: Well, it's rated at 5 degrees for comfort and zero for survival, but I got into it in my living room earlier (as you always do with a new bag) and within a minute it was unbearably hot. This suggests that it's actually a bit warmer than my other (cheaper) bag with that rating.

It's actually very long, which is a bonus for me and I like the tougher lining material at the foot end (I just checked the item description on the Snugpak website and it says the lining is for sleeping with your boots on). Description HERE (http://www.snugpak.com/index.php?MenuID=93-101&ItemID=227)

It packs small too.

A nice bit of kit.

If you can get a thermalon liner that will add another season for you. Takes you down 5-10 degrees for not much money

Happy camping #1
