Sleeping bags with Arm or Leg holes - comprehensive list

[slowhike]

Here is my first attempt. More pictures in my gallery, pages 16 & 17.

I was actually pleased w/ the functionality, but I was piecing together scraps of insulation & such, figuring things out as I went, so the weight & bulk was more than it should have been.
I never did get around to an improved version, but I think it could be done so that the weight to warmth value would be better than most of the commercial wearable quilts.

At one of the Mt Rogers Winter Hangs I used it as my top quilt & wore it around camp some. It did the job fine, but people started pickin on me about my "prom dress"

I got my new/replacement wallcreeper 650 in from moontrail.com and tested it out a few times and I'm pretty happy with it. I also have a frogsac and tried it out as an uq (am I still in the right part of the forum now?) and it shows some real nice promise. I keep putting off that sewing machine purchase but I really want to add some mods to my frogsac so I can use it as an uq, and then mod the wallcreeper to do the same .... and I got mods for the ......

here's my thread on my wallcreeper:

Hey Gang,

I too LOVE the concept of Exped's Dreamwalker. My wife got one for me and I was excited when it came in the mail. The excitement slowly faded when I put it on / got into it. It is really SNUG for me. I may see about having something just like it custom made for me. I would just like to make it larger so I could use it as a Peapod on a hammock too. The size of a standard rectangular sleeping bag would be perfect for me.

Subsequently, I have a new synthetic one if any of you know anyone interested. Please let me know. I never used it, just tried it out in my bedroom once. $150 shipped!

Ive used the Feathered Freinds Winter wren as a peapod system with
the Biverack by Hilleberg down to the teens with no tarp
with great results. There both one of my favrite pcs of kit.
The only draw back on the Wren may be a little small in width for most men.

The Exped Dreamwalker works great also and find the down model works great down to 30-35F.
I've slept down to -22F with two.
You must get the LARGE size.The Meduim is best for small people.
I use them as a peapod system.
The full length zipper makes for easy in and out.
The nice thing thing with that with two bags system you have a extra one
for summer for a friend.

I've have photos of both systems in postings I have made over the past year.

The Wiggys ECOTAT bag also works great and have slept down to -16F
with that system.

I love the mutifunction of those type of systems and are my go to for any time of the year.

In full disclosure I'm a dealer for EXPED.

Hi Mustardman,
My Western Mtn'eering 5 degree bag has a separate zipper in the foot which one could open in the hammock and hike it up to do your business.

I have a fleece liner bag from REI that as I recall was dirt cheap - $29.95 or so - and has a foot opening with drawstring, a short zip to the waist on one side, a very short zip on the opposite side and a hood. Makes a great liner or a bag by itself for 60 degF nights.

But I have not seen it in REI's website for a few years.

This is the bag Neo used to talk about awhile back.

I have one, but haven’t used it much. I wouldn’t trust the specs listed...
