Well, Chilean graphic designer Rodrigo Alonso Schramm has taken the wearable sleeping bag concept one step farther, and created one with arms, legs, and a hood. Sold as both the Selk'Bag (in homage to the nomadic Chilean Selk'nam people) and the Musuc'Bag, it could be just the thing for those times when you feel like getting up, but don't want to get out of bed.</p> <ul id="gallery_images"> <li><a href="/web/20111103114629/http://www.gizmag.com/selk-musuc-sleeping-bag/20069/picture/144157/" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111103114629im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/selkbag-0.jpg" title="The Selk'Bag (or Musuc'Bag) is a sleeping bag with arms, legs and a hood, which can be bot..." alt="The Selk'Bag (or Musuc'Bag) is a sleeping bag with arms, legs and a hood, which can be bot..."/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20111103114629/http://www.gizmag.com/selk-musuc-sleeping-bag/20069/picture/144158/" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111103114629im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/selkbag-1.jpg" title="The Selk'Bag (or Musuc'Bag) is a sleeping bag with arms, legs and a hood, which can be bot..." alt="The Selk'Bag (or Musuc'Bag) is a sleeping bag with arms, legs and a hood, which can be bot..."/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20111103114629/http://www.gizmag.com/selk-musuc-sleeping-bag/20069/picture/144159/" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111103114629im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/selkbag-2.jpg" title="The Selk'Bag (or Musuc'Bag) is a sleeping bag with arms, legs and a hood, which can be bot..." alt="The Selk'Bag (or Musuc'Bag) is a sleeping bag with arms, legs and a hood, which can be bot..."/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20111103114629/http://www.gizmag.com/selk-musuc-sleeping-bag/20069/picture/144160/" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111103114629im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/selkbag-3.jpg" title="The Selk'Bag (or Musuc'Bag) is a sleeping bag with arms, legs and a hood, which can be bot..." alt="The Selk'Bag (or Musuc'Bag) is a sleeping bag with arms, legs and a hood, which can be bot..."/></a></li> <li id="view_all"><a href="/web/20111103114629/http://www.gizmag.com/selk-musuc-sleeping-bag/20069/picture/144157/" class="blue">View all<br/></a></li> </ul> <div class="clear_both"></div> <p>In order to make life a little easier for users when they're up and about in their Selk'Bag, the product features nylon soles with anti-slip pads on the feet, and quick-release closures at the ends of the arms, that allow users to stick their hands out.

It does ZIP over the hands like mittens...and around the head for cooler weather. IT is NOT as compact as some sleeping bags...but does have a compression bag. I've yet to wear it to the campfire...mostly because I don't want to get the feet dirty. There is a a soon-to-be-released better-insulated model with detachable feet, so that users can wear their own boots with it. It is a great concept. Well executed. A MUMMY bag is warmer. This Selk is only rated to 44 degrees (but they have a better insulted model coming out). For the fact alone..you can cross your legs and sleep this is rated A in my book. It is a lot looser than sleeping in say a snow suit. I like the fact you can wear it....Yeah i do think it is a fashion statement.

I bought mine for Florida. I did use it in Utah and froze my hiney off September 2011 ..when I foolishly listened to the guide and did not use a tent. I had a cot only, no mattress pad. I was shoving clothes in.the bag trying to get warm..shivering like the dickens. So...it is not very warm..and it is bulky. I still love it. I kayak camp more these days so it is not exactly the best bag..but I think we gave our old sleeping bags away..and I don't want to keep buying more freaking gear. I used it this week just on the cot in an open shelter (had my mattress pad this time)...and I threw a lightweight cloth tarp over. The low was about 60 ish....so that is about right. </p> <p>Hope that helps... </p> <img src="/web/20111103114629im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/comment.png" alt="comment"> <span class="name">Linda Weyrich Spears</span> <span class="date">- October 10, 2011 @ 12:18 pm PDT</span> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> <div id="comment-85459" class="a_comment"> <p>This is not something that any real outdoorsmen will buy.. </p> <img src="/web/20111103114629im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/comment.png" alt="comment"> <span class="name">bgstrong</span> <span class="date">- October 13, 2011 @ 01:59 pm PDT</span> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> </div> <span class="title">Post a Comment</span> <div class="dotsontop" id="comment_form_div"> <div id="comment_form" data-article="20069"> <div id="comments_login"> <form action="" style="clear: both; padding-top: 0px;" name="login_form" id="login_form" onsubmit="return false;"> <p><strong>Login with your gizmag account:</strong></p> <p id="login_status"></p> <label for="email">Email</label><input type="text" class="text" name="email" id="email" value=""/><br/><br/> <label for="password">Password</label><input type="password" class="text" name="password" id="password" value=""/><br/> <div> <input type="submit" style="float: right" id="submit" value="Log In"/> <div id="options"> <a href="/web/20111103114629/http://www.gizmag.com/register/">Register here</a>       <a href="/web/20111103114629/http://www.gizmag.com/new_password/">Forgotten your password?</a> </div> </div> <input type="hidden" id="expired_comment" value=""/> </form> </div> <div id="facebook_login"> <p>Or <strong>Login with Facebook:</strong></p><br/> <fb:login-button scope="email" max-rows="1" onlogin="loginFUser(20069);" autologoutlink="true"></fb:login-button> </div> </div> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> <br/> <span class="title">Related Articles</span> <div class="dotsontop"> <div id="related_articles"> <div class="pair"> <div> <a href="/web/20111103114629/http://www.gizmag.com/inflatable-sleeping-coat/14309/" class="image" style="clear: both" title="The Inflatable Sleeping Coat will keep you dry and warm during the day and provide you wit..."> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111103114629im_/http://images.gizmag.com/related/inflatable-sleeping-coat-7.jpg" alt="The Inflatable Sleeping Coat will keep you dry and warm during the day and provide you wit..."/></a> <a style="clear: both" class="blue" href="/web/20111103114629/http://www.gizmag.com/inflatable-sleeping-coat/14309/">The Inflatable Sleeping Coat -
