Has anyone have any experience with these? :confused:

Snugpak Softie™ – The New Generation Sleeping Bags

For over 25 years, Snugpak has been family owned and operated by Brett & Bryony Harris in West Yorkshire in the UK. They pioneered lightweight lowpack size synthetic sleeping bags in Europe, which led to the development of the Softie range of sleeping bags that are in use worldwide, including the UK Armed Forces.

The Snugpak Softie Code Green range is produced in Military Olive Green and Black in selected models for all outdoorsmen, armed forces, survival enthusiasts, campers, anglers, and those who just want to blend in with the great outdoors. From the occasional camper to the most hardened outdoor enthusiast, each will appreciate the comfort when the extremes of the day are behind them.

Comfort ratings begin at 5ºC/41ºF for the Softie 3 Merlin and extend all the way down to an Antarctic low of -20ºC/-4ºF. The unique combination of the moisture management properties of the fabrics with the down-like softness of the Softie insulation results in an extremely comfortable, lightweight, low pack size sleeping bag that in some models, compresses to the size of a “football”. Constant innovation ensures that the Snugpak Softie bag series is a market leader with proven performance under demanding conditions.

I like the compactness of it, but I have not seen one in real life.

SnugPak is a good company. I have used a few of their products from time to time. The sleeping bag systems they make are excellent for several different environments. They are small enough to throw into your day pack but have a good rating. They also make a good line of liners as well. Some of their liners are made for moister wicking and work great for when you have to RON in a wet area. You can decide which liner works for you and where you are going. Along with the bags and liners they also make a good bivy bag cover. They also make a good selection of lightweight "body" shirts that will insulate and can pack to the size that will fit in the palm of your hand-they are also know as "buffalo shirts" and "wind shirts" I believe they were disigned for ice climbers. They are very compact, light and a priceless piece of gear.

Just my .02
