I was just planning to MAKE one out of a few old sleeping bags myself, only a few weeks ago! Looks as though I got beat to the punch ;-)

In theory, great idea, but not practical for the same reason why mittens are better than gloves. Your body will stay warmer if you can keep it all together rather than isolated in different sections. This is aimed at people who are more concerned with style over function. Not the type of people I want to be on a winter trek with.

How is this new? I have a comfy, baggy down suite. I summited Mt. Everest in it. I also sleep in it from time to time. It is probably a lot warmer than this too. The only advantage I see in this is price but this article says nothing of temperature rating.

@Natsui - I\'m not sure how this product is aimed at people who are \'more concerned with style over function\' LOL. Quite the opposite in fact.
This would be great for those people that get tangled in their sleeping bag by turning over too much in the night.
I hope it is washable.
I can just imagine these being used in some random music video. Perhaps by OK Go.

I was pretty sure I had one of these growing up. It was called a snowsuit.
@Oztechi: I think he was criticizing the 2X surface area that heat would escape through over a conventional sleeping bag. (e.g. mittens are warmer than gloves.) If there was an option to zip the appendages into one then it would be more versatile.

I bet the OccupyWallStreet and other Occupy protest could use a few of these over the following few weeks. ;)

The makers of this should keep themselves in business by offering a $200 SPONSOR A SUIT FOR A HOMELESS PERSON campaign!

They could also offer it more waterproof and inflatable as a survival suit that would be comfortable enough to sleep or do limited work in(seated,stand-up monitoring,observing or some sentry-type work).
People in their bunks don\'t fare well during sudden evacuations,especially offshore.
Also, I can\'t see this as a fashion statement unless Axl Rose wears one to his next concert.
(he just wore this bizarre shiny yellow raincoat to his most recent concert).

Haven\'t tried one, but it looks too confining. I also don\'t like the idea of sitting around a campfire in something like that. Better to get up in the morning, get dressed and face the day. If I want to snuggle, I\'ll just stay home where it\'s really comfy and I can just throw on some sweats.
