Snugpak Softie Elite 5 Sleeping Bag, Olive

Finding good kit that fits me (since I'm such a big guy) can be hard to do. Luckily, the folks at Snugpak appreciate that and make this delightfully nice sized bag to fit large or small folks.If you're large (like me): Make sure to use the 2nd set of zippers to open the side baffle up. This was a cool feature that isn't obvious from many reviews. It works like a charm.If you're small: You can keep the side baffle closed down and have extra insulation. You can also use the clips by the foot area to 'fold' (and secure) the bag so it's smaller -- and keeps its insulation more snugly against you. Genius!It's lightweight, well constructed, easy to zip / unzip, and keeps me (somebody who doesn't like cold) nice and snug as a bug. I have combined this with a Snugpak Scorpion 3, a Klymit Insulated Static V luxe SL (because of the R rating), and some MeriWool base layer top and bottoms -- I was downright cozy in below freezing temperatures in Georgia.

Dont get me wrong there are better sleeping bags out there that will withstand colder temperatures but i took this bag with me on a camping trip to an island on the northern tip of lake superior (20 degrees with wind chill) and it kept me nice and warm with my wool base layer probably could get down below freezing with this bag if you add a bivvy or woll blanket and sleeping pad kind of bulky and heavy though so i wouldnt recommend to a person hiking for distance.. and the fit is about perfect Im 6' 1" and 235lbs and this bag runs kind of large for me which i like in mummy bags. That said for the price your kind of hard pressed to find a bag as useful and as quality in this price range.

Since this product was made in China instead of the UK. The quality is slightly lower then I expected. However this is still the best sleeping bag I've ever owned.

I'm a former Marine that spent many years with a cold-weather two-bag Recon system which set the standard for me of warmth, comfort, weight and durability. This bag was designed to take a beating and is completely stuffed with Snugpak's proprietary fill that proves to be a real comfort. The hardware and construction can take a beating. This particular bag is best for cold weather given the -5 f rating---I state the obvious because it can be an oven in warmer weather (+50 f) . But, I used it as a comfortable blanket in warmer weather. It's a tad bulky, but I'm OK with that given the overall features shine through.

Looking for something lightweight and easy to carry along with warmth!! this is it!

Used this bag winter camping in northern Maine... kept me warm and toasty in 18 degree weather with snow all around. I even had to unzip it a bit to let some heat out. Although I had to turn my balaclava around in the middle of the night because it felt like my eyeballs were gonna freeze over, this bag did the trick!

Have used his sleeping bag for about 2 weeks in the field and now and can say I’m truly impressed. Super soft, warm, and feels ultra high quality. It being expandable is a really nice feature. Highly recommend

First off it's a warm bag. I've used it in sub zero multiple times in conjunction with the MSS bivy bag a sleep pad, and I was comfortable. Its roomy for those of us with larger frames which is nice. However, the zippers are horrible. They are too small and the stitching is poor. The bind up and always at the most inopportune times it seems.
