Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Snug Pak sleeping bags

I don't have a need for a really cold weather bag very often. But if the price is right wouldn't mind adding one. There is a local store that has had quite a few in stock for years. I don't think they have sold one in years. They have 2 different versions priced at $275 and rated for either -5 or +5 degrees. They are now 50% off and my out the door price would be around $145 including tax.

Worth it, or keep looking for a bargain.

On their website they rate their bags in C, not F. A 5C bag is only good down to about 35F and a -5C bag to about 28 to 30F. Be sure of what you're getting.

The ones I'm looking at have the ratings printed on the stuff sack in both C and F. They were rated at -15 C and +5 F IIRC. These bags have been on the shelves for a while and the exact models may have been discontinued by now. Gonna google their website and take a look around.

One was the Osprey, and I think Softie. It is the Osprey that was rated -15 C and +5 F

Snug-pac is British company that originally specialised in selling to the British military market. Some of their stuff, such as their clothing, is excellent, some is only average..

I would put their sleeping bags fimirly in the average department, and I would think that at the price point, you could get a better bag from a specialist outdoor company..

Edited to add I just did a quick google search and I can get the Osprey 12 over here for £127 which is about $190 so you are getting a decent price if you think the bag is what you want?

I have a 35 degree snugpak i shivered all night in my house at 50 degrees. I have wiggies zero bags that keep me warm to 10 degrees. With synthetic bags you really need to be careful about temp ratings!

True, many will not keep you warm at the temps. they advertise; the best ones I have ever found were the original Integral Designs Pl. bags made here in Calgary, AB. That company was sold to RAB and much of their gear is now made in China......it is NOT of the quality it was.

Snugpak, is mediocre, IME, I have a jacket bought from Kifaru, but, made by them and am not overly impressed. My three ID Pl. jackets are far superior and so are the Montbell ones, mine has gone missing, but, was a fine piece of gear.

I also like the Exped Pl. Wallcreeper, mine is in emerg. pack which is always within reach whenever I leave home and I am very pleased with it.

I had a Wiggys, found it quite crude and gave it away.
