Selk’bag
Sleeping bags are designed to keep all your parts together to conserve heat. The trouble with this is that, well - it's a bag. Most of us don't actually need that heat, so why not exchange it for mobility? That's where the concept for the Selk'bag comes in. From indoor to outdoors, there are literally thousands of uses for the Selk'bag. Stay cozy, warm and mobile on your camping trips, sleepovers, backpacking, working at home, road trips, RV, beach nights, hammock and even lounging at home!
