that sure is different! never stumbled upon that in my research.

my main concern would be the analogy to gloves vs. mittens.

The selk bag one looks like the Michellin man.

My kids have them. Except we call them snowsuits.

Just kidding, thanks for the link. Never heard of them before. It would be nice not to have to leave the warmth of your bag when you need to move around.

Thats what I was thinking - it makes them look like little babies, what ever you call those things you put on babies with the socks sewed on. They're a little heavy for my taste but wow - if you're into teletubbies...lol

That's interesting. Kinda looks like an overstuffed version of the down suits climbers wear on Everest. It's definitely nothing I've ever seen before. I don't know if it's something I'd go so far as to purchease and use, but it's at least worth a second glance. Thanks for sharing the link.

It looks like you need to be really slender to fit inside of them- the OD on the chest is listed as 18.4 (S/M)or 20.8(L/XL) inches- if your chest is more than 40 inches you may be too big....

I Live On The West (wet) Coast Of Canada..... Now If Its Waterproof Yet Breathable, Comes With Its Own Suspension System And Was Worth Half Of What They Are Charging For It .... Mabe. For Those That Ski, We Call Them Ski Suits.
