Loading ...The Selk'Bag One is perhaps the most innovative thing in Sleeping Bag design I've seen since the mummy came round. Seriously folks, this is a sweet piece of gear. Now before I tell you all about the amazing things you can do with the Selk'Bag, you might want to watch this euro-psychadelic video for a visual. (this video is much better on shrooms I'm assuming)
While writing this review I pondered about how to go about describing it. Yeah, I could say that it is really cool and innovative because you don't have to sleep in a straight-legged position, and you can tuck your arms and legs wherever you want. And I could rant about the tough material on the foot-bottom and how fun it is to walk around with your sleeping bag on. But I thought I'd spare you and just do a top 10.
Top 10 Cool Things to do with your Selk'Bag 1
10. Sleeping very comfortably for once in the outdoors
9. Jog in place
8. Chill by the fire (but not too close people, no human torches here)
7. Human torch!!! (that's a joke)
6. Rap (I can see this as the next big trend in hip-hop)
5. Wear a mask and scare the shit out of your camping partners
4. Pretend to be a Bear (not during Bear season)
3. Pretend to be a Yeti (not during Yeti season)
2. Sweet Dance Moves
1. All I gots to say is "You and me baby, aint nothin but mammals"
The Selk'Bag 1 is not designed for really cold weather (rated at 32-54 degrees F). This would be an excellent 3 season bag though. For $169 you can be the coolest camper in the campground. Available from Lippi.

Interesting.
Cool stuff. I hate being crammed into a cocoon-bag.

i was wondering the temp rating on this bad boy!
Yeah 32-54 is the "temp range". The company is based in Chile and they do things a bit differently. The 32 represents the coolest temp to use the bag in basically.
One day I will own one of these. They look so weird their cool.
so...can anyone convert that weight for me? I love cool, but not if it weighs as much as the old flannel lined rectangular bag I had as a kid.

My wife and I bought one of these a few months ago...no words to describe how fun (wink, wink) and utilitarian these 'bags' are!
