We’ve seen a few wearable sleeping bags, including the Selk’Bag (one could allow wearers to look like a lifesize version of Gumby), but the latest twist on a wearable sleeping bag is the Poler’s Napsack, which is reportedly “part sleeping bag, part hoodie.” The big innovation here is the placement of zippers and kudos to the creators for taking a simple idea and creating something so unique. In this case the zipper at the bottom lets you get your feet out and since it cinches at the bottom you can wrap it around the knees and wear it like a smock. The zippers near the shoulders further let you pull out your arms. The result isn’t the most fashionable looking item but for camping and waking up in the morning before you can get a fire going it could be a welcome item to sleep in and wear.

Poler Takes You Back to Nature
While some camping gear has gone so high-tech that it might not feel like you’re actually getting back to nature, Portland’s Poler Camping Stuff brand, which launched last fall, is all about simple yet efficient. The company’s focus revolves around being “an outdoor brand that brings together surf/skate/snowboard culture and sensibilities into pragmatic gear,” and providing “simple, good looking, well designed gear.” The products offer a vintage look, such as the Napsack sleeping bag that will keep you warm at night and in the morning let you wear it while heading to the camp fire.
