Every once in a while you come across an interesting new product that you have to have, regardless of how unpractical it might be, in this case for someone like myself who lives in California and never goes camping. However, I found this item a couple weeks back while I was doing some research here at Become.com. I was updating some of the camping and hiking pages on our website and was lucky enough to stumble upon the Exped Wallcreeper Sleeping Bag. I’ve gotten looks from my friends I told about this product, like I’m and idiot or something, but let me just explain to you some of the awesome features.
At first glance it might just look like an ordinary sleeping bag, but trust me, it is much more than that. The sleeping bag converts to a sleeveless down parka so you can walk around and hang out without leaving the warmth and comfort of the sleeping bag. The Wallcreeper has armhole zippers and a drawstring opening for your feet, as well as a hood. So when you decide to move around and hang out, where ever you may be, you can simply unzip the armholes and untie the drawstring… and off you go. Now as I mentioned I’m not a huge camping and outdoors enthusiast, but regardless, I can easily see the advantages with this sleeping bag to lounge around the campground. As for myself and any other home bodies, is there not anything better than a warm, cozy blanket that moves around with you? Personally, I can’t think of a better feeling than getting bundled up during a cold, brisk winter night.
And, what an awesome holiday gift idea…*cough cough* (mom, dad, girlfriend). It’s a perfect time to get this for any family member or friend for the holiday and winter season. Can’t you just picture yourself wrapped up near the campfire with this thing, or enjoying a good movie at home during the cold? I know I can. Well, just thought I would share my feelings about this product since most people I’ve talked to think it’s ridiculous. Anyways, tell me what you think about it, or anything else you think is worthy of being shared.
Feathered Friends has had a similar idea out there for a long time – the wrinter wren and rock wren models… no hood on those, but it’s quality stuff.
