Overview

Snugpak is a British outdoor brand that started in 1977 as a cottage industry and still designs and makes its sleeping bags and insulated clothing in an 1800s mill in West Yorkshire. It describes itself as one of the last remaining manufacturers of sleeping bags and insulated clothing in the UK and across all of Europe, and its kit is positioned for use from Arctic ridgelines to family campsites. Its range includes UK-made clothing, camping equipment, and insulated outerwear such as the SJ9 WGTE jacket and the Softie® Antarctica.

History

Snugpak began in 1977 as a cottage industry in a Yorkshire mill. Nearly fifty years later, it still designs and makes its sleeping bags and insulated clothing in an 1800s mill in the heart of West Yorkshire. The company states that it is one of the last remaining manufacturers of sleeping bags and insulated clothing in the UK and across all of Europe, and that its products marked 'UK manufactured' are genuinely made in the UK. It describes itself as a close-knit, family-oriented company, noting that 65% of its team have been with it for a decade or more.
