Gumby meets the Michelin Man. You could not pay me enough to be seen in public wearing that.

 

[saddle_tramp]

you wait, theyll be all the rage at christmas, especially that yellow one

 

[Zammo]

Seen these before. They just make you look like a teletubby.

 

[durulz]

They don't appear to have a fly either...

My sister sent me a link to these on a UK site a week ago Here

£95ish inc delivery.

I think i'll pass though, too fond of my nanok

its funny in that when i posted this, it were tounge in cheek, but i guess something like this has kinda got its uses. soldiers in op's, that kinda thing

when i wer a kid, i had one those german army jobs that turned into a dodgy parka. and despite its faults, those sleeves were proper useful sometimes.

The issue isn't the appearance, but the increase of surface area, particularly the extremities. I am sure it'd be comfortable, but when the temperature dips, I'd rather have a cocoon.

I agree, I had one of those bags too. I used them at festivals and camping trips all the time.
I used to wear them till lunch time sometimes
Eventually the waterproof shell rotted and flaked off and strange smells made it not practical to keep in the house so it went in the shed and the mold got it in the end.

I saw one in my local surplus stores in the summer and was very tempted. I also have a german poncho which clips on to it so you can just wear it all the time

I’d look cool in one of those; it’d take years of me.... I’d look like my 2 year old son at bedtime.
Problem is I’d be tempted to get out of my hammock and poke the fire, I bet it’s not flameproof and I’d rather not do a comet impression.

hmmmmm. one of these would make my life much easier when it comes to getting in my hammock. normaly I almost rupture myself trying to pull the damm thing up when im in the hammock. (dont want to get in it out of the hammock, and then get the end dirty and wet while clambering in)

does make you look like a michelin man though, and the yellow one reminds me a little of the hazchem suits the fire brigade use.

 

[Pantalaimon]

yeah, than I could walk and sleep at the same time!

 

[drewdunnrespect]

i would not even be sean dead in one of those sorry but no

 

[gilly0802]

if i recall correctly they were developed for/by the US military#

but still, give me a normal bag any day of the week

These bags are great for using in your hammock. No wriggling to get comfortable. I use one. They are really warm and vey conveniant when you need a wee in the middle of the night.

 

[spamel]

I bet they are, the yellow would hide any stains!
