Snugpak Basecamp Ops Sleeper Expedition
Snugpak Basecamp Ops Sleeper Expedition Sleeping Bag
The Sleeper Expedition is Snugpak's most extreme temperature sleeping bag in the Sleeper Series range, taking good care of you in conditions right down to -17°C. Our design team have created a reliable, comfortable bag using soft-touch, siliconised fibres that form an insulated shell around you, and will see you happily through all four seasons. Chunky, warm and comfortable bags made to the same exact standards as the rest of the range, with an Isofibre® filling that provides considerable warmth. Highly siliconised synthetic fibres give a soft touch and prolonged lifespan compared to traditional fibre filled products.

Please Note: All Snugpak Bags are machine rolled using specialist equipment and, therefore are not compressed entirely. You will need to remove your sleeping bag from the compression sack once purchased so that you can compress the sleeping bag entirely. Watch the video below for instructions on How to Compress your Snugpak Sleeping Bag.

Washing
All Snugpak® sleeping bags are fully washable by hand or even by a washing machine. There are instructions on the care label, which you can find sewn into one of the inner seams.
However, even the highest grade of insulation/filling will eventually lose some thermal efficiency and structure after repeated wash cycles, so it is recommended that washing your sleeping bag should not be done often, especially when using a washing machine. Whenever possible, instead of a full wash, sponging both inner and outer fabrics with soap and water is advised. Then dry and air your sleeping bag thoroughly before storing back in its compression sack.
If you are machine washing your sleeping bag make sure you read the following guidelines for best results:
- Zip up the sleeping bag and ensure any draw-cords are entirely in the machine and not trapped in the door before starting.
- Machine wash on a cool and gentle setting (never more than 30°C/86°F) in a front-loading domestic washing machine (we would advise against using a top loader as the agitator can damage the product).
- Avoid the use of liquid detergent and fabric softeners as this can leave a residue on the bag, a low or fragrance-free powder or Tech Wash is ideal.
Washing Instructions:
- Do not dry clean
- Do not tumble dry
- Do not iron
- Do not bleach
- Wash at or below 30°C
Drying
Line dry your sleeping bag. Do NOT tumble dry. Drying sleeping bags in a tumble drier could result in heat damage to the items. This can happen even when using a low-temperature setting if the sleeping bag is left in the dryer too long or doesn’t have enough space in which to tumble freely.
Reproofing
Use a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on all Snugpak sleeping bags, water repellency can be maintained with periodic re-treatment with suitable aftercare products.
Storage
Do not store the bag compressed for long periods between uses. While Snugpak sleeping bags are rolled at the factory for despatch, it is NOT advised emulating this without special machinery.

Temperature Ratings for Sleeping Bag
Snugpak’s performance figures are drawn from over forty years of experience and customer feedback. Their comfort figure assumes you will be sleeping lightly clothed (thermal base layer or PJ’s) within a tent on a good quality sleep mat, at this external temperature the majority of users should feel comfortable and get a good night’s sleep. The low-temperature ratings are temperatures the sleeping bags have been used at by fit individuals with the minimum of discomfort. There are many variables involved in a good night’s sleep, including climate, altitude, fitness and metabolism, if in doubt stick to the comfort figure.For a Guide to Snugpak's Sleeping Bag Dimensions and Temperature Ratings see our Snugpak Sleeping Bags Comparison Chart.

Great piece of kit! Kept me warm as toast in the snow. Highly recommend for camping or wanting to avoid paying your heating bill. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
