sleeping bag for a clasterphobic

[sdcowboy]

I have a friend that is clasterphobic and is in need of a sleeping bag. as light as possible and around a 0 to 15 degree bag. he freaks out in a mummy bag and no one get any sleep! thanks

Quit you should look into ee they have a new hybrid quilt /bag. It's new for 2015

Maybe have him try a quilt. One thing with large roomy bags is they are harder to stay warm in.

 

[twall13]

Agreed, have him try a quilt.

I'm the same way. This year picked up an EE quilt. Freakin wonderful.

I have the same problem.Call the guy in this link and get a zip in bag extender.It weighs next to nothing and eliminates that closed in feeling.Cheap too!!

thanks a lot he is looking into a quilt. what are you using underneath to lay on?

 

[colonel00]

I just lay straight on my Neoair Xlite or XTherm sleeping pad. At first I thought it might be odd sleeping on a plastic like pad but it hasn't bothered me a bit. If he needed, you can get covers for the pads.

Feathered Friends Puffin is a great bag. 3lbs-ish...maybe 3.5. Warm and roomy.

Good advice to look at EE quilts. I'm thinking hard about getting the Convert myself as it should cover a wide array of temps and be able to be opened up a bit if your feeling a lil mummy anxiety.

I would get a quilt but if he doesn't like that idea then look into the montbell sleeping bags. I believe they are stretchy so maybe not so restricting.

Montbell super spiral, they stretch out and are super comfy

 

[Backpack Hunter]

I agree a quilt or montbell bag sounds like it would work. How bad is the claustrophobia? Is the tent too constricting?

 

[sdcowboy]

No just can't stand being constrained. I think it's a wrestling thing.

My long/wide EE quilts are wonderful! I wanna be able to jump up and move if a Grizz is pawing my tent.

you wont feel claustrophobic in a Western Mountaineering Badger

EE Revelation quilt in long/ wide should do it. I get all twisted up in a mummy but don't have that problem with the quilt.

+1 I am the same way and this bag took care of it.
