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

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.

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.

Compresses super small. Was using a fleece bag liner covered by a cheap wally world siltarp. This bag is lighter takes up less space and doesn't have the nasty condensation that collect on the siltarp. I think the size would be tight for bigger folks. Perfect for the minimalist that sleeps hot or in clothes and doesn't like packing a lot. Look forward to testing the durability/longevity. Well worth the price.

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

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/2eRLcRfIt 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.

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!

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.

I purchased this sleeping bag for a number of reasons, the top reason is for my upcoming hunt this February in AZ where we have 2-3 days of just glassing and stalking so I knew the sleeping bag I needed had to be light weight, guess what? This sleeping bag is most definitely that. Because I also hike and camp in the summer time here in the southwest, I knew that the sleeping bag I need to get had to also be breathable or light if you will, this is most definitely that once you unzip it all the way and treat it like a blanket of sorts when it gets too warm. Now, I did quite a bit of research for when I go northeast for a moose hunt in Maine, I do not know yet if I will be staying outdoors or not, but I knew that I had to be warm so I purchased the 2go systems trifecta (google it) which works as a tarp, a shelter, or in my case a bivy. This product combined with the 2go systems trifecta as well as the klymit static V :Klymit Static V Lightweight Sleeping Pad, RECON Coyote-Sand (put both systems inside the bivy for maximum comfort) will give me enough comfort and support on those cold hunting/camping nights. In other words, this system can be a light-weight option for cold weather camping trips, a good investment choice if I am being honest.I am not paid by either companies nor Amazon, I paid out of pocket for all of the products mentioned above, I do believe if you are an outdoorsman like myself that you should invest in durable lightweight material that is mulitpurpose and this product is definitely that.
