The Exped Wallcreeper Sleeping Bag - ahh the volumes we will write about this thing.
Sleeping bag you say? Yes! But a very special one. It zips open completely to become a blanket in warmer weather, has arm holes and a drawcord at the foot section which allows it to be worn as a jacket around camp, and looks great. It's light, super versatile, compact, and warm to about 35 degrees F. for the average person. It's one of those ideas that seems wacky at first glance but proves itself in the first use. Everyone in camp will be wishing they had one. I use mine for bike touring, backcountry skiing, backpacking, and paddling.
Check it out here and here.

Tifighter's take-
I am sold on this concept:
*Need to save weight? Take this and save a layer; it is a bag and a parka.
*Hate to get out your bag to go outside in the middle of the night? Stick your legs out, get up and go.
*Want to make cocoa on a cold morning? Get up, stick your arms out and fire up the stove, Chester.
*Too warm? Stick out the limb of your choice, or ventilate with the large central zipper.
*Want to share? Zip it open and it becomes a comforter, thanks to its square shape.
I don't have one for some stupid reason, but that will soon change. It comes in down or synthetic. Now I just need to find someone to the sharing thing with ;)
