Another thought.
If it still smelt of washing powder it may not have been rinsed properly; getting all of the soap or detergent out is very important; that said the China made Snugpak stuff doesn't seem to be as good as the British manufactured gear, but even that is rated high by at least 5C, I personally would derate any Chinese made gear by at least 10 degrees C
