Another daft idea

Sleeping bags with sleeves, allowing for the following use cases:
  1. Cuddling in tents. Because I'm soppy like that.
  2. Sitting around in, say, a fscking cold flat in winter.
  3. Camping in cold situations, where you want to do your sleeping bag all the way up but don't want to risk being unable to unzip yourself later.
The sleeves should terminate in mittens, for Safety. To support use case 2, the mittens should perhaps be the type where the end can be folded back to reveal the wearer's fingers.

There's prior art: several brands of blankets-with-sleeves are commercially available.

We have a selk bag, as mentioned up-thread, for #2 and #3, and a double sleeping bag for #1. Yay.

How does the selk bag work out? I must say, the whole having-legs thing makes it look rather more... energetic than my original conception.

It's a bit bulky and unwieldy to run around in or anything. We mainly use it sitting at the computer or lying around on the sofa. The having-legs thing just means if you do happen to need to get something from across the room you can walk rather than slither.
