Snugpak Softie Elite 3 Sleeping Bag

The Softie Elite Sleeping Bag range comes with a built-in deployable side baffle that initially is extra thick zip baffle and when deployed allows the Softie Elite to become wider. The extra space created by the deployed zip baffle allows for freedom of movement & temperature management when trying to keep cool. This Snugpak Softie Elite 3 has a higher temperature rating than the Snugpak Softie Elite 1 and Snugpak Softie Elite 2 Sleeping Bags.

Caring for you Snugpak Sleeping Bag

Washing
All Snugpak® sleeping bags are fully washable by hand or even by a washing machine. There are instructions on the care label, which you can find sewn into one of the inner seams.

However, even the highest grade of insulation/filling will eventually lose some thermal efficiency and structure after repeated wash cycles, so it is recommended that washing your sleeping bag should not be done often, especially when using a washing machine. Whenever possible, instead of a full wash, sponging both inner and outer fabrics with soap and water is advised. Then dry and air your sleeping bag thoroughly before storing back in its compression sack.

If you are machine washing your sleeping bag make sure you read the following guidelines for best results:

Zip up the sleeping bag and ensure any draw-cords are entirely in the machine and not trapped in the door before starting.
Machine wash on a cool and gentle setting (never more than 30°C/86°F) in a front-loading domestic washing machine (we would advise against using a top loader as the agitator can damage the product).
Avoid the use of liquid detergent and fabric softeners as this can leave a residue on the bag, a low or fragrance-free powder or Tech Wash is ideal.

Washing Instructions:

Do not dry clean
Do not tumble dry
Do not iron
Do not bleach
Wash at or below 30°C

Drying
Line dry your sleeping bag. Do NOT tumble dry. Drying sleeping bags in a tumble drier could result in heat damage to the items. This can happen even when using a low-temperature setting if the sleeping bag is left in the dryer too long or doesn’t have enough space in which to tumble freely.

Reproofing
Use a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on all Snugpak sleeping bags, water repellency can be maintained with periodic re-treatment with suitable aftercare products.

Storage
Do not store the bag compressed for long periods between uses. While Snugpak sleeping bags are rolled at the factory for despatch, it is NOT advised emulating this without special machinery.
