They look cool but surely as your not sharing your body heat a sleeping bag would be warmer ie mittens are warmer than gloves.

£90 for that?
No thanks, i'll stick with my Nanok, for starters, it will keep me warmer and i also won't look like a fool

Which is harder on the eyes? - The pictured "sleepingbag" or textspeak?
Ah John, he's only young.
Seen this idea before, in the 70's. I don't think it worked well then, Down trousers were attached to a down jacket, I supposed it saved on weight for mountaineers.
John, I'm saying nothing, except there are some who might describe you as 'experienced'
And what do use for sleeping when on canoe trips?
I think not!!! It`s all a bit Telly Tubby.
Litefoot.
Now you come to mention, the similarity is uncanny.
One of my friends has one from the 70's and he swears it's the best thing since sliced bread.
He gets into it nice and toasty and hangs about a bit before bed, slips his boots off, pulls the elastic ankle cuff bits down so his feet are covered, puts the hood up, and then he goes either under a tarp or into a bivvi bag for the night.
If he does need to get up he's still warm and it's easy to go back to sleep.
In the morning he just gets up and footers around making breakfast before he gets himself dressed for the day.
His is cotton covered though so safer near fire.
I don't fancy those dayglo coloured ones much
cheers,

Personally I think it looks like all the fruit pastilles in a packet have grown arms and legs and escaped.
I normally don't care what people think of me but in this case I believe I would.
Mind you that could have something to do with me in one of those and the size of my belly I would like a very well insulated hot water tank.

My canoe is inflatable, so just a wooly blanket is fine thanks
Back OnTopic for a minute
I think one of those Selk "bags" would be great in a hammock

Surely you mean one of these http://www.theslanket.com/ rather than a plain ole blanket?
I just had a horrid picture then of someone in one of those overgrown rompersuits in an inflatable canoe.......
Canoes are not inflatable - inflatables are inflatable, canoes are ....canoes!
