Innovative, sustainable, versatile wearable sleeping bag
Look, the world is filled with gear that promises to make our outdoor adventures better. But how often do we find those rare gems that actually deliver on the promise? Well, my friends, the VOITED Slumber Jacket might just be one of those rarities.
Picture this: the sun's slipped beyond the horizon and you're sitting by the fire, your belly full of s'mores and satisfaction. The temperature starts to plummet, and you find yourself longing for the embrace of a sleeping bag. But then, you remember your Slumber Jacket. That magical amalgamation of a warm coat and a sleeping bag, saving you from the chilly torment.
Wear it as a puffy jacket, this ingenious piece of gear doesn't restrict your mobility when the campsite chores are calling. Need to fetch some more logs for the fire? Easy. Got to pay a late-night visit to nature's loo? No problem. And when your eyelids grow heavy, just pull out the foot compartment and snuggle into your ready-made sleeping bag.
The beauty of the Slumber Jacket is in its construction. No ordinary garment, this. Its exterior is a 50D ripstop polyester, which has this rough and tumble feel about it. Plus, it's not just any polyester – it's REPREVE, made from recycled plastic bottles. How's that for sustainability?
What's more, this thing is a fortress against the elements. It's windproof, water-repellent, and has a breathability coating. The PrimaLoft RISE insulation, a vegan-friendly material mind you, does an exceptional job of keeping you warm. And it's no slouch when it comes to weight, either. Whether you're small, medium, large, or extra large, it's lightweight enough not to be a burden during your adventures.
In my opinion, the Slumber Jacket is an innovative solution for those who crave versatility and comfort while respecting the environment. It's great for camping, music festivals, or just chillin' after a good snowboard run or surf session.
Take it from someone who's seen more than his fair share of gear: this isn't just another jacket. It's a game-changer.
Pros:
- Versatility: The Slumber Jacket's key feature is its 2-in-1 function as both a coat and a sleeping bag, allowing for convenience, ease of mobility, and warmth all in one package.
- Sustainable Materials: Made from 100% recycled REPREVE® polyester and filled with vegan-friendly PrimaLoft® RISE insulation, it's a great option for environmentally conscious consumers.
- Weather-Resistance: With a water repellency rating of 13.000mm, a breathability rating of 5.000mm, and windproof capability, it provides excellent protection against the elements.
- Lightweight: Despite its comprehensive features, it's surprisingly light, making it easy to pack and carry.
- Machine Washable: Maintenance is simple and hassle-free due to its machine-washability.
Cons:
- Price: At $215, the Slumber Jacket is on the higher end of the price spectrum and might not be accessible to everyone.
- Temperature Limitations: While it's built for warmth, its extreme temperature rating is -5°C (23°F). For very cold conditions, additional layers might be necessary.
- Potential Fit Issues: The Slumber Jacket's combined function as a sleeping bag and a coat might lead to fit issues. It may not conform as well as a traditional sleeping bag or fit as precisely as a regular coat.
- Limited Insulation: The PrimaLoft® RISE insulation, while excellent for most conditions, may not be sufficient for extreme cold or wet climates compared to down insulation.
- Size and Weight Variability: Although the Slumber Jacket's weight is considered light, there are still significant differences between sizes. An XL Slumber Jacket weighs significantly more than a small one. This could be a concern for those mindful of their pack weight.
