The Snugpak Softie Elite 1 is the smallest model in the Elite series, built for lightweight, low-pack-size use where interior comfort and draft control matter. It features the EPS (Expanda Panel System) that functions as a thick zip baffle to block drafts and can be deployed to add interior room when needed. A layer of Reflectatherm metalized barrier helps return heat inside the bag, while a compression stuff sack and compact dimensions make it suitable for space-restricted rucksacks. The bag is offered in Olive Drab and includes a right-hand zipper configuration.
