Essentials To Make The Best Of Your Travels
‘Editor ofJoint-forces.com, Bob Morrison, has been a fan of Snugpak products for a long time.'
Over the years Bob has has held on to his favourites from Snugpak and here is a list of Bob's ‘must have' items when on his international travels. Bob comments, "For the last 20 years I have carried an original Silk Sleeping Bag Liner on all my travels, from Arctic to Desert, because of its temperature regulating properties, this is not, however, the same as the currentSilk Mix Liner@ £53 rrp but it shows they make stuff that lasts.
Over the years I have amassed loads of other Snugpak bits & pieces, including rucksacks and bags, which all fulfil specific functions and get taken out as and when needed, but it is hard to say precisely which is the 'best' as they each perform an individual task very well.
Picking a 'best' from the Snugpak range is a bit like picking a best girlfriend or a best car... damn near impossible as I have probably loved them all equally over the years. Some Snugpak items of kit which Ialwaystravel with are:-
"Pakbox in all four sizes"
TheSnugpak Pakbox@ £7.00-£9.00 rrp,packing cubes, will keep your rucksack or holdall organised. For storage and protection of clothing, essential items, and equipment, the Pakbox range can help. These lightweight, functional storage containers come in a range of two colours, Black and Olive and four sizes, including 1L,2L, 4L and 6L that can be used individually or stacked vertically or horizontally. Designed to complement both on-the-move storage in packs and rucksacks, as well as more traditional cases, the Pakboxes have a see-through mesh cover, allowing you to quickly identify and select required equipment, as well as an easy way to store clothing and equipment.
"Essential Wash Bag"
Snugpak'sEssential Wash Bag@ £14 rrp will keep all your toiletry essentials stored compactly, and with its two way zipped closure and hook, allows you to hang it out of the way when space is at a premium. Made from a tough heavy duty polyester ripstop fabric, this highly durable wash bag has separate storage sections and a handy detachable mirror.
"Microfibre Towels - small one on all assignments and large one on longer jaunts"
Made from a super absorbent, fast drying, microfibre fabric The Head To Toe Towel @ £24.00 rrp is an antibacterial soft travel towel ideal for camping trips where pack weight is a consideration. The SILVADUR® material minimises the build up of bacteria and reduces odour and for storage, the towel folds up into its own stuff sack of 125cm x 120cm and weighs in at only 360g.
"Merino Technical Socks"
TheMerino Military Sock@ £13 rrp is a lightweight, comfortable sock, ideal for longer ventures or multiple day use with a suitable Liner Sock. Ideal for colder temperatures, or when you will be standing and walking for extended periods of time, the true heel-toe design prevents movement and the formation of blisters.
"I also have several Snugpak Jackets, which I alternate dependent on conditions, including an SJ6 jacket in Camo which comes out every year when the clocks go back and a Tac-3 Insulated Hoodie in MultiCam which gets used almost all year round."
"SJ6 Jacket"
TheSoftie® Jacket 6@ £160 - £190 rrp is an ideal shell garment for all weathers and the Softie Premier filling has excellent insulating properties down to -5°C. Available in a choice of traditional Olive, Black and Multicam camouflage colours, the SJ6 features velcro patches on the arm for military use.
Its practical roll-away hood is handy for unexpected rain showers and the high tech Paratex Micro outer and Paratex Light inner helps the evaporation of moisture away from skin, to provide protection and maintain warmth.
