Win a Sleeping Bag You Can Wear 24/7
It’s about time people demanded an evolution in sleeping bags. This week’s giveaway is the Selk’Bag 4G Lite Sleepwear System. The Selk’Bag is a lightweight, two-season version of their original sleep system. This product is basically like wearing a sleeping bag all the time.
It’s what you’ve always dreamed of, staying in bed even when you’re out of bed. Perfect for a variety of adventures, the Selk’bag is used by outdoorsy types for camping in a tent, under the stars, at the lake, beach, or even in the cabin. Use it during the Fall and Winter for comfort, or even in your RV, camper, SUV, or dorm room (quite the adventure in itself).
Info on the Selk’Bag Lite:
• Baffled construction to eliminate cold spots
• Soft, yet durable ripstop nylon shell with DWR (durable water resistant) finish
• Reinforced nylon soles prevent wear and lateral grips give traction on multiple surfaces
• A hood with drawstring for added warmth
• Compacting carry sack
• Thermal collar around the head and neck to prevent drafts
• Exaggerated draft tubes to stop heat loss around zippers
• Wide zipper tape, preventing snags
To win the Selk’Bag Lite, tell us in the comments below the best place you’ve ever gone camping. How would the Selk’Bag have helped in that event? Did you go hiking and freeze your butt off? What camping trip will you go on next with your Selk’Bag? TWO winners will be selected at random from the comments below.
Contest closes August 21st.
Please provide a legitimate email address so we can contact you. Shipping may take up to three months.

Went to Lake Red Rock (middle of Iowa) in the late Fall. It gets pretty cold around here and my friends thought it’d be funny to float my clothes and stuff out to the middle of the lake. The Selk’Bag would have come in handy to say the least. I would probably venture to Rocky Mountain National Park or the Black Hills.

Porcupine Mountains is awesome! Great trails for hiking and deep woods camping.
12:57 pm on August 16th, 2011
On the beaches of Oregon was the best. This sleeping bag would have been excellent around the fire at night.
1:05 pm on August 16th, 2011
I would have loved to have had this in the deserts of the Middle East. Nothing like going from hot in the day to freezing in the middle of the night. Plus if you have to get up in the middle of night you can easily get, grab your rifle and get some.

Camping at Raystown is always fun… this could protect from the constant onslaught of mosquitoes trying to suck out every last drop of blood… no “sharing” a sleeping bag in that one though
1:09 pm on August 16th, 2011
The KOA campground in Estes Park,Colorado was about the best camp experience in the 1970′s.
1:28 pm on August 16th, 2011
Camping on the Deer River for the weekend was probably my favorite camping adventure so far. Waking up to swimming in the river each morning was amazing. The Selk’bag would have helped so much on the cold nights trying to find firewood in the dark.

Climbed Mt. Saddleback in November, its in Maine, along the Appalachian trail. camped half way up, woke up to find it had snowed overnight so we all figured sure lets climb the rest of the way to the top anyway even though the trails were all ice and the wind was blowing so hard on the summit that we had to put our hands over our eyes just to blink.
1:58 pm on August 16th, 2011
I camped at this place in the middle of nowhere located in los angeles. the weather is weird over here. while i was camping, it started raining and i couldnt go home cuz they locked the gate. it really sucks. i wish i had something like this.
3:50 pm on August 16th, 2011
not much of a camper, but when i was about 10 my brothers and i got lost in the forest in upstate NY and it was just us chillin for a night that was some good times.
5:00 pm on August 16th, 2011
Going camping in northern wisconsin and while sleeping in a tent having it collapse from the rain. This sleeping bag would of made the rest of the night more comfortable for sure.
6:09 pm on August 16th, 2011
In the living room of some hot chicks’ house after I struck out. Even needed a cold shower after one got drunk and asked for my “juicy hotdog” and wanted to go skinny dipping, right before her boyfriend came over. Its still camping right?
7:09 pm on August 16th, 2011
Best place Ive gone camping was a backpacking trip to Bradey Lake in CO. It would have been awesome to site around the fire with one of these on as there was still snow and got to around 40 degrees at night. Id like to try to snowboard in one!! haha
7:41 pm on August 16th, 2011
We went camping in Wisconsin when I was younger and what great memories. This bag would have kept me a bit warmer! Those were cold nights Can’t wait to take my own children when they get old enough!
8:35 pm on August 16th, 2011
I went out to the Smokies about 5 years ago and we hiked the entire time and had a new location to sleep every night. It was an amazing experience. This bag would have been useful to walk around the campsite at night and stay warm.
10:54 pm on August 16th, 2011
my favorite camping trip was Cape Cod in MA. It was really windy by the ocean and this sleeping bag would have been great to have.
11:06 pm on August 16th, 2011
I was the new guy in the troupe… we were performing in the desert just outside vegas… FREEZING night.. as I was the one that stayed at the stage while everyone else went to hotels….Did ya know scorpions like body heat ? Yeah.. no one told me THAT…
made it thru the night anyway…
never worked with them again…
1:06 am on August 17th, 2011
Lol, i love those desert insect camping stories, everyone seems to have a good one. As for me, I spent a night on a mountaintop in NH and I think i can close to hypothermia. The weather changed out of nowhere and the temps plummeted. Another sleeping bag would have been nice to have.
4:08 am on August 17th, 2011
well,the coldest,most miserable night of my life was one spent on a boyscout snow cave overnighter?! BRRRR!!! We were on a survival camping trip, that was just wrong from the get go… the snow was not deep enough to build snow caves.. so we slept under the stars on top of the snow it was around 25 degree’s that night anything that we brought with us, was soaking wet, frozen stiff, or nonfunctional(including any chance of lighting a fire for warm..,our matches) needless to say?! we shivered it through the night,and did learn the essentials of survival importance!! water proofing the vitals. we never mistook the boyscout motto after that night!! LOL
“BE PREPARED”
by crickey, ifin I’d had live in sleeping bag that night?! I would be one of the happiest kids around… awesome concept.. well? here’s to hoping for a freebie on this drawing. But I may just have to buy one if I am not one of the lucky pair!!
9:04 am on August 17th, 2011
I’ve been winter camping in the NWT. and slept in a igloo. It wasn’t too bad, but, a SELK BAG would have made the nights comfortable. I would use it anywhere North of the Arctic Circle… sleeping under the stars far from civilization’s lights is a treat.
10:34 am on August 17th, 2011
Went camping in Lake George with some friends. One drew the short straw and had to sleep in the car (there was less room in the tent than we thought). If only he had one of these…
12:12 pm on August 17th, 2011
Went hiking before college orientation and spent a week in the white mountains of new england. It was August so I didnt plan it would be that cold but man, it gets FREEZING in the mountains at night. This would have been good to have.
2:39 pm on August 17th, 2011
This bag would have been great on my last camping trip to terrify my fellow campers. Imagine seeing this thing walking around in the dark woods. Oh yea, would have been nice to keep me warm too
3:51 pm on August 17th, 2011
This cool sleeping bag design would have been great to have on my last camping trip to Alaska. Sitting around the campfire at night and eating dinner and talking was still pretty cold because of the wind. This would have been great to wear around the fire.
4:50 pm on August 17th, 2011
The selkbag would have been great to use on my last camping trip to Yellowstone. I had a cheap walmart sleeping bag and was cold. This looks warmer and lets you walk around too, a big plus for me.
5:31 pm on August 17th, 2011
I’ve been camping in England and let me just say nights there are artic! This sleeping bag would have been amazing, especially on late night trapes to the toilet. If I won I’d take it on a trip to Devil’s Lake in Wisconsin. It’s absolutely beautiful and I’d warm so I could properly enjoy it!
9:02 pm on August 17th, 2011
Back when I was young and dumb I went camping in the desert in Arizona and figured the nights wouldn’t be cold, because it was a desert…. How wrong I was. This would have come in handy.
10:35 pm on August 17th, 2011
I’ll say this sleeping bag would have been great on my last camping trip to Acadia in Maine. I had no sleeping pad and the ground was freezing. Would have been nice to use this.
12:52 am on August 18th, 2011
I love going to the beach when i’m camping even when its chilly out. This would be like wearing a full body jacket on the sand. Would be fun. I would also scare away all the others near me so more peace and quiet for me.
12:10 pm on August 18th, 2011
I could have used this sleeping bag on my last trip to the Jemez Mountains. It was COLD.
12:45 pm on August 18th, 2011
cool give-away. This would have been great to use last fall when I was camping on the Canadian coast. Early morning fishing would have been way more comfy and warm.
3:37 pm on August 18th, 2011
This sleeping bag would have served me well when I was camping last month in Northern New Hampshire. The temps dropped down to freezing at night in the mountains and my sleeping bag wasn’t enough.
4:02 pm on August 18th, 2011
what a cool concept. Ive never seen one of these personally so I know I would at least be the talk of the campsite with it. I agree with other posters that it would be good to scare others with. It seems like it belongs on an astronaut or something. But would be fun to have that’s for sure!
4:52 pm on August 18th, 2011
would have been cool to have this to walk around the camp area at night when it was chilly. I think it looks pretty practical to replace a blanket when sitting outside.
7:36 pm on August 18th, 2011
I always roll around in my sleep and mummy bags end up making me like a sardine. This would be great to roll around in and not have it super tight around me. Its like sleeping in a big body jacket.
10:12 pm on August 18th, 2011
When I go camping in the autumn, It’s always freezing inside the tent while I’m eating or sitting around and playing cards. This sleeping bag would be great to just lounge around in and it looks like i would be able to sit in a chair with it and still play cards or eat. Can’t really do that with a regular sleeping bag.
Thanks for the great chance to win awesome camping gear
12:46 am on August 19th, 2011
Favorite place I went camping was the VT section of the Appalachian Trail. Amazing views all around. This bag would have been great to have since it lets you stay mobile around the campsite and warm and the same time. The next place I’ll be going is on a trip to Alaska so this would be great to have for those same reasons.
11:33 am on August 19th, 2011
Would be awesome to have had this when I went to the Grand Canyon this past spring. Really hot during the day but freezing at night. It was a great experience but this would have made it a little better. Thank you!
1:17 pm on August 19th, 2011
Man this is a strange looking sleeping bag. My favorite camping trip was one I took to Yosemite a few years back. I haven’t had a chance to go back but I will someday and this bag would be great to have around the campsite. Would keep me mobile and warm at the same time.
6:05 pm on August 19th, 2011
Man this is an odd looking sleeping bag. My favorite camping trip was one I took to Yellowstone a few years back. I haven’t had a chance to go back but I will someday and this bag would be great to have around the campsite. Would keep me mobile and warm at the same time.
1:42 pm on August 20th, 2011
The coldest night I ever spent in a tent was just in my backyard. I spent half the night just trying to sleep through the cold before I gave up and went in for more blankets. This would be perfect for our fall camping trips. I can see there being some fighting over it, but it would be all mine!!! Coolest place I’ve ever camped is near the Appalachian Trail in PA. Wow is all I can say.
7:12 pm on August 20th, 2011
The Cascades in NY was my fav camping trip. great views and great company. Would have been nice to have a sleeping bag that doubles as a jacket.
8:49 pm on August 20th, 2011
Weirdest sleeping bag Ive ever seen. No joke. I like it though. My favorite camping trip was one I took to Patagonia down in Argentina. Its probably the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen but the wind was brutal. This would have been cool to have.
11:22 pm on August 20th, 2011
Favorite camping trip was Yosemite. I went last summer and it was great. This would have been nice to have because it did get a bit cool at night. I went with a large group and nobody had one of these. I wonder what they would have said had they seen me pop this out. Im sure the kids would have loved it too.
1:42 am on August 21st, 2011
My favorite camping trip was taking a float trip through the Wood-Tikchik AK state park with my dad, my best friend, and his brother and father. Took 2 zodiaks from Nishlick lake and floated downriver to Tikchik lake.
Would have been awesome to have a sleeping bag that you could walk around in haha.
1:05 pm on August 21st, 2011
Best camping trip to date was the Chesapeake Bay in MD. Right by the water and had a great time watching the ships going by. This sleeping bag would have bene perfect for the windy campsite we had right by the water. Thanks for the opportunity to win this bag.
3:59 pm on August 21st, 2011
My favorite camping trip was one I took to Acadia in Maine about 5 years ago. Right by the ocean and mountains and trails all around. Great fun. This bag would have been nice to walk around in when it got cold at night. I’m sure I could get some good use out of it in the future when I go camping again. I’ll be talk of the campsite with it
10:55 pm on August 21st, 2011
haha love this thing.
favorite camping expedition would have to be back in college when I went with some buddies to Alaska. We spent 2 weeks outdoors and met some awesome people along the way. This looks like it would have been great for middle of the night bathroom excursions. You dont even have to get out. I’m sure ill be doing some more camping soon and this would be fun to have for sure. Thanks!
