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.

Curses! Though at that stage, you're pretty much into Polar Hero all-in-one duvet suits...

I'm told that in northern Japan, the preferred winter sitting-in-one-place-and-staying-warm solution is a sort of room-covering duvet with integral brazier - I have no idea how they prevent it from catching fire. Etiquette forbids the guest from doing anything at all for themself, a rule my friend was very glad to take advantage of while staying there.
