Pros & cons

  • Exceptionally small pack size for a 0°C-comfort synthetic bag: 19 x 18 cm compressed
  • UK-made with no stitch-through construction to avoid cold spots, two-way YKK zip with insulated baffle
  • Outdoors Magic's long-term test of the sibling Softie Expansion 2 praises the comfort of Softie insulation
  • Temperature ratings are Snugpak's own guidance figures, not ISO 23537 lab-tested
  • No independent editorial review of the Softie 6 Kestrel found; £165 direct price is high versus £127-134 at stockists
