Three season, lightweight sleeping bag. The SNUGPAK SOFTIE 9 HAWK, is SUPERIOR to the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps Intermediate Cold Weather Sleeping Bag. Rated from 10 F.
This item is manufactured in the United Kingdom for use by British military forces.
Fabric Information:
'Infin8T' is the new fabric of Snugpaks' flagship 'Softie' range
of sleeping bags. It has a new luxuriously textured finish and
incorporates the special Infin8T weave, designed specifically
for Snugpak by long term fabric partners, Perseverance
Mills, manufacturers of Pertex®.
Pertex Is the brand name for Pereseverance Mills UK made,
high performance, lightweight nylon. The brand leader in sleeping bag casing fabrics Pertex uses many
thousands of bundles of microfine yarn within its construction. The capillaries created between these yarns
actively draw moisture away from the source and spread it across the surface area allowing it to more readily
evaporate. As the moisture is evaporating from the fabric, and not from the occupant, chilling is dramatically
reduced.
Fill Information:
Softie or 'superfine high-thermal' is a combination of fibres with different crimp systems and surface finishes.
Some are crimped, some are curled and some just left as they are. The random nature of the process results
in a product that closely resembles the structure of natural down and the way it performs. The yarns used are
staple yarns as in natural insulations (as opposed to continuously extruded as in most synthetic fills). The
fibres have now been updated with special binders and treatments for an excellent combination of softness and
durability. Softie is extremely lightweight, and has excellent re-loft abilities, when unpacked.
Special Features
Profiling - This bag is a 'profiled' (unquilted) bag which uses the
'no stitch through' method of construction. Most traditionally
constructed sleeping bags have quilted stitches to hold the bag
and fibres in place. Whilst developing new resins to enhance
the softness of our bags we came across a blend which gives
a remarkable degree of strength and structure, with self
supporting fibres, allowing us to remove all the stitch lines and
cold spots that can occur with quilted bags. It also helps with
re-loft as the 'Softie' filling is not held back by stitches. We
estimate that by 'profiling' we have increased the loft of our
bags by up to 30%, without adding anything to the weight or
packsize.
Additional features include; Compression stuffsack, Layering
capability, Snugfit hood, Zip baffle, Circle foot, Hanging dry
tabs, Anti-snag zip two way zip.
