Something different
I saw this http://www.rei.com/product/865361/si...ing-bag-womens at REI today. There seems to be several on the same these. I do not know if it's a good idea, but it is new.

Same here.
There was some talk on another forum last September about some new SD products that started with a new quilt design (it has sort of gloves built- in) but ended up mostly discussing tents.
Within that thread , this new bag came out as a BTW , from memory there was no interest in it.
I do think that it has a lot of potential and in my mind it seems to work (visualising myself in it) but if it would in practice (for me) or not I obviously don't know.

A little heavy, I would prefer a better quality down - but after seeing the video - very sound ideas for clostrophobic people. I really like the foot box kick out... very nice... it will sell!
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

800 fill that is DWR enhanced is nice as well. I would love to try one and do wish it were lighter, but I suspect I might have the best sleep of my life in the backcountry. SD is on a role....www.sierradesigns.com

Exped makes a line of wearable sleeping bags with arm holes and a big opening for legs/feet. http://www.exped.com/usa/en/product-.../sleeping-bags I bought one and tried it, but it was cut too tight, so I sold it. One of those things that looks like a good idea but a lot gets lost in the translation to a real product.Originally Posted by AngelEyez

I don't quite see this something a thru hiker would want, but what the heck. Seems like lot of $$$, heavy, and just overkill.
The photo in post #3 looks like the Michelin man in a burqah.
The SD version of the arm pass thru is 68" in girth so that should help with nah feeling of tightness.
Who remembers the Frogg Sac? A summer sleeping bag that you could walk around in like a bath robe.
