Snugpak has stood for dependable outdoor and military equipment from England since 1977. What began at a kitchen table in Silsden, West Yorkshire – with the founder teaching himself to sew insulated vests – has grown into a globally recognised brand for sleeping bags, tents, bivvi bags, hammocks and tarps. Armed forces around the world rely on Snugpak products, and for good reason: the proprietary Softie insulation performs reliably even when wet. At Swiss-Sale.ch you will find a wide selection of Snugpak products for outdoor, camping and tactical use.
Softie insulation – the heart of every Snugpak product
In 1987 Snugpak introduced Softie insulation – a proprietary synthetic polyester fibre that delivers down-like warmth with one crucial advantage: it insulates even when wet. While down loses its loft in damp conditions, Softie retains its thermal efficiency. This characteristic makes Snugpak products the preferred companion in humid and unpredictable climates – from the British moors to the tropical jungle.
Core technology · since 1987
Softie: next-generation synthetic insulation
The proprietary Softie insulation is the backbone of the entire Snugpak range. As a high-performance synthetic polyester fibre it delivers down-like warmth at minimal weight and pack size. The decisive advantage over natural down: Softie insulates reliably even when wet and dries quickly. The technology is complemented by Travelsoft for ultra-light applications and Reflectatherm – a metallised, heat-reflective layer that achieves up to 15 % more warmth.
Sleeping bags – from Jungle Bag to Softie 9
Snugpak’s sleeping bag range covers a broad spectrum of use. The Jungle Bag is designed specifically for tropical conditions – lightweight, compact and fitted with an integrated mosquito net. The Softie series (Softie 3, 6, 9) offers graduated warmth ratings for different temperature ranges, with every model retaining its insulating performance in damp conditions thanks to Softie fill. All models compress to an impressively small pack size – an advantage Snugpak pioneered as early as 1988 with the first pack-size-optimised sleeping bags.
Tents & shelters – Stratosphere, Ionosphere & more
From the ultra-compact single-person shelter to the versatile tarp, Snugpak offers solutions for every situation. The Stratosphere and Ionosphere are minimalist one-person tents that set up quickly and provide reliable weather protection. The Special Forces Bivvi Bag delivers discreet protection without a tent frame. The Stasha and All Weather Shelter tarps are multi-purpose and protect reliably against rain and wind. All shelters employ Paratex Dry – Snugpak’s waterproof, breathable material with a hydrostatic head exceeding 5,000 mm.
