Has anyone gone "Gumby" yet?

I'm all for innovation, but these things don't even solve the oldest flaw of a sleeping bag known to mankind - turning over in the middle of the night to end up lying on the **** zip. And these suits have even more of the stupid things.

Gotta give 'em credit... you have a choice of colors! Try THAT with any normal sleeping bag.

Thanks Lori for the vision... couldn't stop laughing

If you wore your dri-ducks over one of these suits you be like a mobile bivy shelter!!
Forget the 'go-to-ground' backup. Just start walking!
Hike the first hour of your day while still in bed~!

If you could sew a construction workers harness inside the bag, you could
suspend yourself, inside your suit from two trees. Forget, the hammock, forget the tarp forget quilts and bags. You're now a crazy half-breed mobile peapod, marshmallow man with built in suspension lines!

Multi use gear people~ spread the word

I'm now stuck with this vision of me dressed like a puffy banana wildly chasing an alarm clock through the woods!

That is some funny stuff!

Here's a thought ..... what if you put the zippers on the inseam so you could turn it into a bag for the night and make it easier for midnight strolls.

The bear might be laughing to hard to chase you

The company is owned by a former thru-hiker and she puts out an excellent product. I've got two of the Bod-i-bags.
One in the 100 weight fleece. I carry it with a Hilleberg Biv-Anorak when day hiking for just in case. The bod-i-bag and the BivAnorak work perfectly together for instant shelter that still allows you to do things with your arms/hands.
I've got a 300 weight fleece that is in a hypothermia bag that hops from kayak to kayak. It's too big/heavy for backpacking but perfect for an unexpected immersion in cold water. It can be used with the BivAnorak but it works fine under a coverall cag especially when a candle lantern is burning between the knees when sitting in the 'indian' position...major quick warmth from that setup.

When/if you add a Bod-i-bag she will custom all of it to your requirements.
Nope, I own no part of the company but like the utility of the product.
