Wearable Sleeping Bag

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Selk Bag

— November 13, 2007 — Lifestyle
This unique invention will leave you feeling more like the Michelin man than a caterpillar in a cocoon. Traditional sleeping bags can be quite restrictive, but because the arms and legs are separated in the Selk Bag, there is freedom to move. It's like a nice, puffy ski suit!

Your head is cuddled into a wearable pillow cap to keep your ears and neck warm, and, in case you need to smack a mosquito off your face, you can simply unzip your hand covers. Need to pee? I'd love to say you don't need to bare the cold, but I didn't see any crotch zippers on this invention.

The Selks come in army green (for those who want to camouflage) and yellow (for those who want to stand out) and range from S/M to L/XL, so no matter how big or small you are, there's a warm sleeper suit for you!

If you decide to wander around camp wearing your Selk, I suggest staying away from open flames. I can't imagine you could zip yourself out of one of these that quickly!
