Zip yourself in!

Cocooning yourself in a sleeping bag is all very snuggly, but have you ever tried dancing to gingangooly without unzipping yourself? It's not easy. In fact, unless you fancy caterpillaring around the campsite, trying to do anything other than sleep in a traditional sleeping bag (no nudging at the back) is virtually impossible. Step forward - and we mean that quite literally - the incredible MusucBag.

As you can see, this revolutionary wearable sleeping bag is more of a suit than a bag, giving maximum mobility and keeping you warm as toast. Snuggled into a MusucBag you can move your limbs freely, stand up, walk, cross your legs, do the David Brent dance - whatever. Finding a comfy sleeping position is easy. Cramp, what cramp?

Description

Sleep standing up!

But it's not just about keeping warm on your next polar expedition or preventing your devil's-horn hand from freezing off at some festival campsite. The MusucBag is ideal for loafing about in the house, especially if you're sick of eye-watering heating bills. Think of it as your new, improved dressing gown.

Invented by Chilean industrial designer, Rodrigo Alonso Schramm (not him again), the bag features a cosy integral hood, plus reversible zips, so you can unzip your arms with ease whenever you need to shoo away polar bears, remove icicles from your nose or switch channels. Who'd have guessed dressing up as a futuristic Teletubby could be so practical.

But what's it like in terms of cosy-ocity? Well its lining is made from soft-touch nylon with a polyester hollow fibre bonded filling. And whilst we're not entirely sure what that means, we do know that each MusucBag can withstand temperatures as low as -13°C. Brrr-illiant!

Available in various new colours & sizes and featuring a reinforced crotch area(?) and higher quality zips, this innovative suit is set to become a must-have accessory for outdoorsy-types and couch potatoes everywhere. You'll never want to clamber inside an old school sleeping bag again. Unless it's with Barbara Windsor circa '72. Oops, sorry...we just dozed off in our MusucBag again. Zzzzz

visitor avatar BRILLIANT!! Got one of these for my birthday and absolutely LOVE it! Would recommend it to any keen campers!
Polly, UK - 2nd October 2011
visitor avatar I used this on a typically cold British August BH weekend and it was great. Really comfy and it kept me lovely and warm while sat outside the tent in the evenings. One of the nights was particularly cold though and I did need extra blankets - so I would say it is definitely only for summer camping. Also, if you are a bit on the short and round size the Medium may not be comfy. I’m 5’4” and got the Medium size, but as I was 7 months pregnant at the time it was a bit of a squeeze! Swapped it for a large, and although it’s obviously too long on the legs, it’s much better for stretching and rolling around at night in without being constrained. Overall, a great product. And a big thank you to Firebox who redelivered my replacement size direct to a field in the middle of the country!
Jo Morrison, Taunton, Somerset - 31st August 2011
Firebox says: Great to hear Jo, and it was our pleasure!
visitor avatar So is this really a summer sleeping bag given the temperature ratings?
McG, Edinburgh - 15th August 2011
Firebox says: It does have some great ventilation zips McG, allowing for good temperature control.
visitor avatar Really fancy one of these but am of the short and round variety. Have you got any more detailed sizing guides? Don't want to be squeezed in or have the crotch below my knees - not an awesome look!
Clemmie, Surrey - 9th August 2011
Firebox says: We totally understand Clemmie, it can be a bit hard to judge. But if it doesn't fit, you can always return it (within 30 days) for a full refund.
visitor avatar I'm 5 foot (exactly) and won't grow any more. Will the medium size be too big on me? If so, will you be stocking a 'small' size? And if not do you know where I could get one :(?
Tiny Ella, Worcester - 28th July 2011
Firebox says: It will be a big large, the problem tends to be with the legs and arms bunching up, however it's still definitely usable. Unfortunately we're not aware of a small size being available.
visitor avatar Cant wait to get mine for scout summer camp!!!!! Ill shock the kids with this!!!!
George, Bristol - 27th July 2011
Firebox says: Enjoy George!
visitor avatar Went to a School Festival with the Newcastle Hexam Diocese and thought that my MusucBag would keep me really warm, as wearing it around the house was nigh on impossible due to the heat. But once I went camping, I was FREEZING. Seriously, take extra blankets. Like, 6 or more, because it doesn't keep you warm that much, all the heat comes off individual limbs, so you cant exactly curl up either.
Liam Vernon, Billingham - 3rd July 2011
visitor avatar Will a large be a bit tight with size 11. . 5 feet/185cm tall?
, - 7th June 2011
Firebox says: Sounds like a perfect fit, certainly comfortable.
visitor avatar Is it water proof so can I stand in the rain with it on.
Michael, Maidenhead - 2nd June 2011
Firebox says: Not waterproof- but the base of the feet has a rubber sole to protect your feet from getting moist. We'd not recommend standing in the rain.
visitor avatar Hi guys, If I'm 5ft 8 should I be going for a Large?
Shay, Lincs - 2nd June 2011
Firebox says: large is definitely the way to go.
