They're in Washington, Feathered Friends. Pot gets legal, then this shows up. Don't have to smoke it all today.

I'd wager that the temperature rating can only be meaningfully expressed in Kelvin.

I mean, what are the materials cost on that???!!! How much would 16 pounds of just the down actually cost???

I love the question posted at the bottom – "does it even zip shut with a person inside there?"

Backyard winter cowboy camping in Yakutsk, anyone? (I mean, it's too warm to use for anything else and too heavy to go farther than the backyard.)

That has to be one of the most decadent things I've ever seen. Seems wasteful to me when they could have made sixteen one pounders or eight two pounders.

Maybe its not used to keep warm. Maybe it's used that same way Dr. Jones used the inflatable raft in the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Or, it is used as bouldering pad.
I would like to sleep on TOP of it.

I would think the loft would collapse under it's own weight.

At some point the weight of the down in the upper parts is going to squish the down in the lower parts.

Did anyone else notice the pee bottle next to the bed in the third photo?! Maybe this person's house is really cold. All of this is just weird.

wtf?

Perhaps they thought it could fly, or make them fly, with all that bird stuff in there, sort of like a camping twist on the old flying magic carpet ride thing?

Just looks like a repurposed orange juice bottle.

I don't understand anything about this bag.

What's is its purpose??

Can you imagine the reaction at FF when this guy called them up to order?

Meth addicts recycle their pee to get the meth out of it. Apparently they also feel compelled to buy sleeping bags that will keep them comfortable down to -273.15*c.

Not sure if they are known to use dust ruffles or not.

Long time since I posted, but had to with this…

Wouldn't having so much (unnecessary) fill just trap moisture? This thing not only looks like a plastic inflatable, but I can imagine it would feel like plastic wrap after a few hours. I'm still a newbie, but sheesh! Not a good plan on the sellers part (maybe that is why he is trying to off-load it?)

Yes it looks to me that it would be very tight and uncomfortably hot inside there even at -40f…
15" min loft 20" at shoulders
The WM -40 Bison has 10" of tot loft (42oz of down)this one , if I read correctly , has 256 oz(yes that is 16 LBS , 32x my Summerlite)

If Jabba the Hutt were a sleeping bag… Picture three looks like botox gone horribly wrong.

It's for sleeping on the moon. Temperatures on the earth do not require anything of this magnificence.

It isn't a pee bottle at all , just a water bottle.
Most people lose 1 quart or so from perspiration a night.
Under that bag you will lose at least double and that is why the bottle is there.

I had to ask the seller what purpose the bag was made for, it's just so weird…. I'll let you know when i get an answer.

"Just looks like a repurposed orange juice bottle."

Huh. Kind of a weird place for a "repurposed orange juice bottle" don't you think?

Obviously this bag was a movie prop. Dim lights. Narrator: After calling out "put the lotion in the basket" he runs to his safe place for comfort in a freakishly plump down chamber cocoon.
