DESCRIPTION : The Snugpak Code Green Softie Antarctica - an extreme temperature sleeping bag with compression stuffsack, layering capability, a Snugfit hood, zip baffle, circle foot hanging dry tab and anti-snag centre two-way zip. FABRIC INFO 'Infin8T' is the new fabric of Sugpaks' flagship 'Softie' range of sleeping bags. It has a new luxuriously textured finish and incorporates the special Infin8T weave, designed specifically for Snugpak by long term fabric partners, Perseverance Mills, manufacturers of Pertx®.a high performance, lightweight nylon. Pertex uses many thousands of bundles of microfine yarn within its construction. The capillaries created between these yarns actively draw moisture away from the source and spread it across the suface area allowing it to more readily evaporate. As the moisture is evaporating from the fabric, and not from the occupant, chilling is dramatically reduced. FILLING INFO Softie or 'superfine high-thermal' is a combintion of fibres with different crimp systems and surface finishes. Some are crimped, some are curled and some just left as they are. The random nature of the process results in a product that closely resembles the structure of natural down ad the way it performs. The yarns used are staple yarns as in natural insulations (as opposed to continuously extruded as in most synthetic fills). The fibres have now been updated with special binders and treatments for an excellent combinaion of softness and durability. Softie is extremely lightweight, and has excellent re-loft abilities, when unpacked.... |
