{"product_id":"snugpak-special-forces-1-sleeping-bag","title":"Snugpak Special Forces 1 Sleeping Bag WGTE","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Snugpak Special Forces 1 WGTE is a lightweight UK-made mummy sleeping bag rated to 5°C comfort and built as the outer bag of Snugpak's modular Special Forces sleeping system. A two-way centre zip allows rapid entry and exit, a deliberate operational choice over the side zip found on most civilian bags, and the reinforced foot section lets the bag be used with boots on when circumstances demand it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftie Premier insulation, a Paratex Steelplate outer backed by a Paratex Micro second layer and a Reflectatherm lining combine for dependable warmth in a highly compressible package that drops to just 16 x 16cm. On its own it covers mild, above-freezing nights; as part of the system it pairs with the \u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/snugpak-special-forces-2-sleeping-bag\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSpecial Forces 2\u003c\/a\u003e, which fits inside it to extend warmth into much colder conditions.

The differences are weight, cut and how you get in. This Special Forces 1 opens on a two-way centre zip for rapid exit, has a reinforced foot so it can be slept in with boots on, and takes the Special Forces 2 inside it to build a -15°C system. It is also cut wider, 80cm at the chest against 75cm, which is what makes room for the second bag. The Softie 3 is 300g lighter at 900g, opens on a side zip, and pairs left-to-right to make a double. If you are not building the system, the Softie 3 is the lighter carry.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color:#fff8e6;border-left:4px solid #b8860b;padding:12px 16px;margin:16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJoining the two bags together:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zipping the Special Forces 1 and Special Forces 2 into a single -15°C system uses the Special Forces Zip Baffle, which Snugpak supplies as a separate item.

It does not run as far as the bag's, but both openings sit front and centre, so you get into and out of the covered system from the front instead of working around a side zip. Snugpak lists the bivvi as suitable for the Special Forces system. Worth knowing when you compare: most of the Softie range is side-zip, so this is the bivvi that matches this bag.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Way Centre Zip with Insulated Baffle\u003c\/strong\u003e -
