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

I may be smiling for days

Give you a fiver for it, you'll save on ebay fees.

Good try... but doomed to failure

Nice, always fancied one of those having tried a bit of snugpak gear.

Hopefully a bit of karma for you.

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

It packs small too.

A nice bit of kit.

All bar one of my bags are snugpak and they are good kit, although I have never found them to be underrated temperature wise.

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

I would just like to point out that sleeping is optional on the Irish rally.

Yeah, we have a lot of blind ladies and many fish markets, so in rectrospect it was quite a tame comment.
