    I think they are really dumb looking. 

    Sorry, in all seriousness although I am not the first climber/backpacker/ not very good at getting out of my sleeping bag person ever to wish that I could just walk around in my bag, I think that selk bags are not the most efficient heaters/ equipment out there. This is because each little “limb encasor” keeps each of the other limbs away from each other so therefore your two legs, for example, can not benefit from the other’s heat. Much like the glove vs. mitten idea, where each little finger in its own little wrapping isnt nearly as warm as 5 fingers cozily keeping each other warm, selk bags dont allow you to benefit off of sharing heat with yourself.

    If that made any sense to you, yay, and please please let me know if you need any more clarification/ have anymore questions,

    cheers, jas
