Snugpak Softie Elite 1 Sleeping Bag, 47 Degree, Expanda Panel System for Extra Space

Got this sleeping bag for my deployments, move around a lot and this is perfect because you can make it as warm or as cool as you want it and in the different parts of the desert with the different seasons that can be very important. All of this in such a small package which you can easily fit anywhere and weights nothing... The best part is it's not like those other sleeping bags where the only time it fits in its original bag is when you get it new, you can easily get it back in the pack and even compress it down further. This isn't my first Snugpak product and it certainly won't be my last, quality products made for those who need them.

Snugpak has the best gear. I love the color and the best part is it's expended panel. It feels soft and comfortable. The zippers could be better. But this being my second snugpak sleeping bag and have not been disappointed yet.

My sleeping gear of choice. I have owned several snugpak sleeping systems including this model and tend to stand by this one the most. Lightweight and easy to stow (for me I use a molle water bladder pouch). It is made of quality material and keeps you super warm,and even soaking wet, climb inside and your body heat will dry the bag rather quickly. I put this model through the paces on all sorts of weather and for its rating, this is the best bag I prefer and only one I will continue to swear by. Pairing this with a snugpak basha and snugpak jungle hammock makes for a fast deployable sleeping system that is minimal in stowage and can handle all sorts of weather while enjoying some proper shuteye.

In conjunction with a comforter and a blanket it kept me very warm.

This is basically two pieces of nylon sewn together, with a very thin insulation (quilt batting basically). The zipper broke the first night of use. I spent a week in the Cascades with nights of 40+ degree weather and froze my baguetts off - I ended up going with a piece of canvas and horse blanket and was comfortable. BUYER BEWARE, you can't return this unless it's unused and with original packaging, so I'm left with broken indoor sleeping bag. Stating this is a cheap product is being kind, I'm not sure how it's being used by the people who gave it a high rating but if you are looking for a good backpacking/horse packing bag this is not it!

I used this for a year on a deployment. I needed something, light, small, warm and durable. The brown color is exactly what I wanted, the zipper works great, and I was warm in the winter and left the zipper open during the other seasons or just laid on it and threw it over me as needed, unzipped. 5 stars.

Really nice bag for early spring or fall. If you''re going to push into November or later you may want to move into the Elite 2 or 3. I used the bag this weekend and the temp went down to 38. I was dressed in jeans, a T shirt, sweatshirt and socks. I was a little cold but I made it through the night just fine. I love the quality of the bag, and all Snugpak products. It's very well made, strong stitching etc. It'll definitely last a long time. Another nice point is it's not down so getting it a little wet won't ruin it's insulation which is very helpful in the field. I plan on using this bag through the winter with the addition of a bag liner like this Sea To Summit Thermolite > http://amzn.to/2eRLcRf It doesn't add any weight or size and adds about an extra 20 degrees to the bag. Since the small size of this bag is the best part the liner is definitely the way to go. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is it's just a bit small at the bottom. I like bags that have the expanding baffles so you can move your legs a little more but they're about 3 or 4 times the price. I totally recommend this bag to anyone looking for an average use, cool to cold weather bag. If you're hiking a freezing mountain for a month, go for the Elite 3.

It's a good bag. I did expand the bag using the expansion panel and it is a little tight still but usable. I'm 6'2", 250lbs. I'm not especially fat per se but it kind of feels like a second skin where I would just move the entire bag if I want to sleep on my side rather than move inside the bag if you know what I mean. I bought it mainly for the size when it packs down it is a good size and I can store it inside my backpack. All my other bags were too large for me to go camping. I haven't tried any other type of Snugpak but I have their blanket and that works well too.

loving it compact realy good grab and go bag.

Great little price and wraps up pretty tight. Great for a 72 hour bag. I bought mine for over land travel. Due to its on shipping I don’t know why it can not ship to PO Box

Seam came apart after minimal use.

Decent bag would have given it an extra star if the thermal rating was more accurate. For myself as a warm sleeper I was cold at anything under 10 degrees C despite the bags "comfort rating" of 7 degrees.

Very light and warm. Took it out in a 10 man tent at -30C and was only a little chilly.
