Versatile, Lightweight, Durable, Warm, Stylish
There's a certain romance in the open road and a new destination at every sunset. And for those journeys, the gear you choose to accompany you makes all the difference. Enter the Poler Napsack, a distinct mix of utilitarian practicality and laid-back charm. It's less a gear and more a companion for your ventures into the unknown.
Priced similarly to the Selk’bag Lite, the Napsack charts its own path with a design that is more reminiscent of a traditional sleeping bag. Yet, it innovatively breaks from tradition with its arm and leg holes that allow you to go from lounging around the campfire to snuggling up for the night without missing a beat.
To appreciate the Napsack, you must understand its design. It incorporates unique zippered shoulders and a drawcord bottom which can be opened and adjusted according to your needs. Think of it as a puffy coat that you can conveniently hike up to your waist and cinch as you settle down around the fire. Then, when the night calls, you can slip back into your tent without having to part with its snug warmth.
The Napsack is not just about its inventive design, though. Crafted with a durable ripstop nylon exterior, it stands up well to the unpredictability of the great outdoors. Yet, despite its tough exterior, it manages to maintain a light weight, coming in at a mere 2.25lbs. Furthermore, it is rated to a comfortable 50ºF and includes an 18” x 8” stuff sack, making it a breeze to transport.
Practicality is embedded into every aspect of the Napsack. From the two hand-warming pockets to a dedicated chest pocket for your extra gear, every inch of it is designed with the traveler in mind. And what's more, it's fully reversible, providing a two-in-one versatility that is rare in outdoor gear.
Offered in the color Murky Lake Teal, the Napsack brings a pop of subtle color to your travels. Its soft, inviting hue somehow perfectly captures the essence of those tranquil lakeside mornings. At $130, it's an investment, but it promises an experience that is simply unmatched.
In the end, the Napsack is more than just a sleeping bag. It's a salute to the adventurous spirit. It's an acknowledgment of the impromptu nights under the starlit skies, of the stories shared around the bonfire, and of the warmth that binds us all. It's a celebration of life on the road and an invitation to wander. For the dreamers, explorers, and drifters among us, the Napsack is more than just gear; it's a way of life.
