SIZING GUIDE
Each sleeping bag manufacturer has their own design styles and sizing criteria, so please don't assume all sleeping bags are the same size. A lot of Snugpaks sleeping bags have the same dimensions, but their can be slight differences. Our size chart below lists the five measurements that should be used to find the correct fit.   

MEASUREMENTS
Length - The total length of the sleeping bag from the tip of the hood to the end of the foot plate.
Max User Height - The recommended maximum height of a person that can be accommodated comfortably in the sleeping bag. 
Chest - Measured across the width of the sleeping bag. 
Knee - Measured across the width of the sleeping bag.
FootMeasured across the width of the sleeping bag.

SLEEPING BAG FIT
There are two main shapes to Snugpak sleeping bags, regular and mummy:

Regular - Rectangular in shape with a zip around two sides that allow it to be opened out flat and used as a blanket. This style of sleeping bag is a lot more roomier than a mummy shape sleeping bag but are less effective insulators.

Mummy -  A more fitted design as the shape tapers towards the feet, improving heat retention. Can be restrictive for some people who move around a lot when asleep.

Care for your Snugpak sleeping bag is easy, with the option of hand washing or using a washing machine. Comprehensive care instructions are provided on the sewn-in care label, usually found along one of the inner seams.

To preserve the thermal efficiency and structure of the insulation/filling, it's recommended to avoid frequent washing, particularly with a washing machine. Instead, consider gently sponging both inner and outer fabrics with soap and water. Afterward, ensure thorough drying and airing of the sleeping bag before storing it back in its compression sack.

MACHINE WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

For machine washing, follow these guidelines for optimal results:

  1. Zip up the sleeping bag, making sure any draw-cords are fully inside the machine and not caught in the door before starting the wash.
  2. Use a cool and gentle setting (never exceeding 30°C/86°F) in a front-loading domestic washing machine, as top loaders with agitators can potentially damage the product.

Avoid liquid detergent and fabric softeners, as they may leave residues on the bag. Instead, opt for a low or fragrance-free powder or Tech Wash for cleaning.

DRYING INSTRUCTIONS

Snugpak recommend line drying your sleeping bag as tumble drying can cause heat damage, even on a low-temperature settings.

REPROOFING

All Snugpak outer fabrics on their sleeping bag ranges are treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR). This may periodically need re-treating with a suitable aftercare product.

STORAGE

Avoid storing the sleeping bag compressed for extended periods between uses. While sleeping bags are sometimes rolled at the factory for dispatch, it's not recommended to emulate this without special machinery.
