What could be better than a (7) fun halloween costume that also keeps you comfortable and warm? Selk’bag Sleeping Bag Onesie Specs: Likewise, when you look into lightweight alternatives, you might just find that the best option is actually an ultralight sleeping bag. Without a doubt, military-grade ponchos are one of the best choices in terms of durability. The USGI poncho looks plain but is designed as per the field gear technology used in the US military. Nylon material is what I would label as civilian grade; not military. While I haven’t had any issues and I don’t see any reason why I would, I have seen reports of some rips and tearing online with hard use. I’ve read that the outer and inner materials not not mil-spec. We put the poncho on the ground and put the sleeping bag on one half, using only 45% of the space, letting 5% at the folding side free.Outdoor gear choices are all about trade-offs. While a sleeping bag might not always be perfect in every way, it’s often the best option overall. There are press studs at the sides for adjustments. Other than that, the loose cut and the side openings offer good ventilation in warm conditions. Lastly, some users found it too wide. We wish Frog Toggs had added a drawstring at the waist.

It’s 100% ripstop nylon that feels rugged and offers solid waterproofing. If you plan on moving around in your Selk’bag (and who wouldn’t?), I recommend sizing up (especially if you want to walk around in the booties). This gives you room to move without feeling constricted, and while still keeping you warm. You’ll also enjoy the extra space while sleeping.Sleeping Bags When it comes to wild camping, a good sleeping bag is essential. With Wood To Water’s selection, you can find the perfect sleeping bag to keep you warm and dry, no matter where you are. Read More The military-grade material offers 20000 mm of waterproofing. Moreover, it’s also abrasion-resistant. That gives you excellent durability as well as superb waterproofing. And it does that by using the special Paratex dry fabric. The material comes with a ripstop construction and a hydrophilic PU coating. The material also has a soft feel that makes it comfortable against the skin. Let’s not forget, this is an expensive poncho. If you are on a budget, look elsewhere. Also, at 2.3 pounds, it isn’t lightweight. Striking the right balance between comfort and waterproofing isn’t easy. But this patrol poncho from Snugpak gets it mostly right.
Hang dry your bag whenever possible. This can be a long process (24-48 hours or more), but this is by far the best way to get the longest life from your down. Use a well-ventilated, low-humidity environment. Hand-tease or shake out your bag gently to break-up down clumps, and flip it often to help speed the process.When it comes to material specification, this poncho from Act Fire stays miles ahead of the competitors. But the zipper at the sleeping bag was a pretty good idea. And the mummy shape sleeping bag was the next good idea. Outdoor Protection: Offers a barrier against wind and rain with its water-resistant and breathable shell.
Let’s not forget, the polyester material isn’t stretchable as nylon. Helikon-Tex has sacrificed a fraction of the durability to improve the overall water resistance. Bottom Line By the way, you can still walk around in the Selk’bag with the booties on. They have durable, reinforced bottoms, so they hold up fine, even if you’re walking outdoors. If you ask me - a waterproof poncho should be a mandatory piece of gear for every survivalist. If you're serious about survival and prepping, that is.
