Snugpak - Christmas presents and stocking fillers
for the outdoor and travel lover
Snugpak, the British manufacturer of sleeping bags, tents and outdoor equipment, have a wide selection of clothing and outdoor travel accessory products which are the perfect gifts or stocking fillers for travel and outdoor lovers.
The SnugpakIonosphere(£214.00)is a two-pole, one-door compact tent, expertly designed for overnight adventures. Packing down to a weight of just 1200g, the Ionosphere has a two-pole, easy to pitch design, with the tent forming a hooped shelter that keeps condensation build-up to a minimum. The inner tent is made of a No-See-Um Mesh Mosquito Net which will not only keep out bugs, but can also be used without the fly as a stand-alone mosquito shelter/barrier in the summer months and in warmer climates. The Ionosphere's 5000mm hydrostatic head polyurethane coated fly sheet with taped seams will shelter you from all but the most inclement weather, and its impressive floor space means ample room for a single person with some equipment.
Based on the best-selling Sleeka Elite jacket, the SnugpakArrowhead jacket(£161.00)is the result of continued design & development for military personnel & professionals. Combining Snugpak's water-repellent Paratex outer material and exclusive Softie® insulation, the Arrowhead is a warm, breathable, windproof and lightweight jacket. The technical fit offers enhanced thermal performance, freedom of movement and includes a Softie® insulated detachable zip-off hood for added protection and warmth. Worn as a cold-weather mid-layer or outer layer, the Arrowhead is an extremely versatile piece of insulation, and is available in small to XXL sizes, in Black or Olive colours.
If you're planning expeditions in different conditions, you need a versatile sleeping bag that will do a great job no matter what the temperature. The SnugpakSoftie 9(£161.00)is a UK-manufacturedmultifunctional, three season sleeping bag that covers temperatures down to -10°C, and can be easily increased to a four season bag by adding a Snugpak liner. This bag compresses down into an incredibly lightweight and micro-size pack at just 21cm x 19cm when fully compressed, making it the ultimate easy carrier. The Softie 9 enjoys all the benefits of the Softie range, with Softie Premier filling offering excellent insulating properties, trapping heat and maximising comfort. The mummy-style design shape brings additional warmth and comfort, and the Softie 9 has a snug fit hoof with an adjustable cord for a better night's sleep, even when the temperature drops. The Softie 9 is available with left or right side zips, in standard or extra long sizes, and in Black, Olive, Coyote Tan, Desert Tan or Green colours.
Based on sleeping bag technology, theSnugpak Jungle Blanket(£40.00)is an insulated camping or emergency blanket for just in case. This blanket is a warm, lightweight, less bulky alternative to your quilt at home, ideal for extra warmth while camping, emergencies or even to wrap around you on a chilly night while you enjoy the campfire or take in the view of the sunset. Snugpak has engineered the Jungle Blanket using Travelsoft Insulation, designed for exceptional performance using ultra lightweight, high loft fibres that work superbly even after being compressed into a small, compact size for lightweight travelling. Antibacterial, anti-microbial, windproof and water resistant, the Jungle Blanket will become your best friend when the temperature drops.

Snugpak Stocking Fillers
Snugpak'sMerino Military Sock(£14.00)is a lightweight, comfortable sock, ideal for long walks outdoors. These socks are perfect 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. The blend of Merino wool, which is a natural lightweight, durable, breathable and antibacterial fabric with synthetic materials provides all-day use and the low profile, in-turned welt, provides support along with a Terry Loop knit construction that ensures even cushioning along the length of the sock, providing a close fit without constricting the calf muscles in the lower leg.

Towels can be bulky and difficult to dry; the SnugpakHands & Face Towel(£13.00)solves both of those problems.
