If you are a backpacker who doesn't put their boots away just because the snow is falling then you will appreciate the features and temperature rating of the Snugpak Softie Elite 4 Sleeping Bag in olive. This expedition mummy design is comfort rated for 14° but has an extreme rating of 5° F so you can handle the night even if a low pressure front rolls through. A draft tube prevents heat loss by sealing around your neck to keep valuable body heat where you need it. There is a zippered chest pocket to keep essentials such as headlamps readily available.
This bag features an expansion panel system that lets you help regulate your temperature on warmer nights. This feature is a baffle system with an additional zipper to expand the bag by extending the draft tube outward giving you more room inside and keeping you cooler. You can zip the tube back in on colder nights so you have less space to heat to keep you warmer. Clips are included so you can shorten the bag so you are more exposed on cooler nights, or adjusted for smaller users.
Softie synthetic insulation is lightweight and retains warmth even when wet because it won't compress and lose its loft like down will. Reflectatherm metallized fabric helps retain more of your body heat by reflecting it back to you. This bag is lightweight at 4.2 pounds so it won't overburden your pack. Using the included stuff sack, it collapses to 11.0 x 9.4" so it won't take up too much space.
