'Wearable Sleeping Bag' Put to the Test

To be honest I thought the idea was a little creepy at first (just the idea of being a sleeping bag monster), but I do have to say that your little lady testing it out really gave me a smile. I might invest in one for my lady and I (and eventually maybe the kids) while summer camping, but for my more serious adventures I’ll stick to my 0 degree down bag (the size fits all vs. the Selk being a fitted bag).

I think I want to hear the technical details of how you pee without take the bag off.

This is the weirdest sleeping bag. It looks like you’d be a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in this.

This is awesome. Glad to see the Gear Junkie gets that its not an expedition bag. I think they have a Primaloft version coming out for backpackers later this year. My kids have the 3G kids version and they go crazy for it – its made camping a lot more fun for everyone. The selk just makes sense.

@Alecia He failed to mention that males could pee without taking it off. There is a zipper that you can pull upward (as seen in the picture), then a male can navigate through it. Though personally, I wouldn’t want to risk urinating on my sleeping bag. I do have a Selk Bag though, and they are comfy for those of us that like to move around whilst we sleep, or feel claustrophobic in a tighter sleeping bag.

So basically this is a copy of the German Army sleeping bag but with separated legs. The German idea was better with a hooded jacket with a leg section that could be zipped on at night. More useful overall.

Not the most revolutionary idea (have seen suit-type sleeping bags before), but as someone who can’t sleep still and in one pose all night long and therefore hates regular sleeping bags, let me say that this is a great idea, especially given that the price is not astronomical.

Would also make a nice warm Gumby Halloween costume.

Just perfect for hammock camping where it’s very hard to get into a bag when in the hammock. I ordered one but I’m somewhat large around the middle and it didn’t fit :(
The company may be releasing a larger size later this year

I agree with Kerri great for hammock folks only draw back is it’s quite heavy at least I think. Great invention though might be good for one or two days maybe. I wouldn’t mind one myself.

I WANT ONE

Hey Guys,
Just came across this post, yea, i’m a bit late to party, geez its 2012 already. I actually sell those Selk Bag things so I thought I’d comment.

Really happy to see “real” people out there using them. The models look nice in them, but it’s better when you hear hunters, campers and fishermen use em too. The most compelling reason for me was the ability to pee in the morning after a big one when camping… Gold!

Cheers,
Justin.
