Hi,
My first post, i do like snugpak products, this post is about sleeping bags.
I have 1x elite1, 1x elite4 and 1x black on black, all are excellent and in my opinion better than all of the other makes.
I love the soft durable fabrics you use, the neck baffles and expander panels are great but the zips bug me big time :mad:, no matter how careful i am they still snag, i manage to stop the snaging by pulling/pushing the zip with thumb and fore finger, i doubt if im the only one who has this snaging problem.
As a suggestion if you could stitch a firm but flexible strip both sides of the zip as a sort of guide the zip pulls through thus keeping fabric from the dreaded snag attack.
Sort of like this < zip>, if your not sure what i mean i can email a pic.
Anyway other than that all good stuff.:)
Oh almost forgot i also have a sleeka 35 ruksak and a bivvi bag, did have a hooped bivvi, all snugpak kit, would realy like to get one of those snugnut hats but cant find one, is it still made?
Well thats my bit for know.
Jeff.:)

Hi Dogfaceboy

Glad to here your a fan of our sleeping bags, in regards to your question about the anti snag zip baffle. We do have a some webbing to stop the zip for snagging, but this does not always work when using the zip at odd angles, and your position etc. If your after a zip that will unzip perfectly every time with no snagging, you would be best to swap out the zip for a quick release one. These zips will unzip with no hands, you can stand up in your sleeping bag and they will unzip themselves.

They come as standard on the Special Forces Range of sleeping bags.

Sorry to here you have not been able to find a stockist for the snugnut hat, if you do a google (http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=snugnut+hat&btnG=Google+Search&meta=) search you should be able to find some internet stockists for them. If you are still struggling please feel free to contact out customer services team on 01535 654479 and they will be happy to help.
