Whether you are camping just on the cusp of winter or tackling a high peak prone to frigid temperatures, the Softie Elite 3 from Snugpak is a solid choice. This desert tan colored, mummy design sleeping bag is comfort rated for 23° but has an extreme rating of 14°F so you can weather out unexpected temperature drops. A draft tube at the neck prevents heat loss by sealing valuable body heat in, where you need it, and the zippered chest pocket keeps essentials such as headlamps handy.
This bag features an expansion panel system that lets you regulate your temperature on warmer nights. A baffle system with an additional zipper extends the draft tube outward to expand the bag and create more room to keep you cooler. When it gets cold again, just zip the tube back in for the traditional bag fit and more warmth.
Softie synthetic insulation is lightweight and retains warmth even when wet because it won't compress and lose its loft like down will. Reflectatherm metalized fabric preserves more of your body heat by reflecting it back to you. This bag is lightweight at 56 oz so it won't overburden your load, and it packs to 9 x 10" so it won't take up much space.
