6 Wearable Sleeping Bags to Wear Dusk Till Dawn

No matter the time of year, there's something magical about sitting around a fire, beverage in hand, laughing the night away with your family and friends. But as someone who is eternally cold, I fight this never-ending battle: I always want to be the last one awake (because FOMO), but I freeze my tail off and want to head inside for warmth or crawl into my sleeping bag as soon as the sun and temperature dips. You see my dilemma, right? So how in the world can I do it all?

Enter the wearable sleeping bag, with holes for your arms and feet (or, in some cases, sleeves and pant legs). Wear it by the campfire, and you can keep one hand free to hold your drink, one hand for snacks, and your legs free to visit nature's latrine without unbundling. We love these for backyard social distancing hang sessions just as much as we love them for layering up in the woods. And when you're ready to bed down for the night, just crawl into your tent and lay your head on a pillow without having to climb into a separate cold sleeping bag.

A handful of these wearable sleeping bags were personally tested (and loved) by our editors, while a few others were selected because of their comparable build features and positive user ratings. Ever since we’ve added a wearable sleeping bag to our cold-weather repertoire, it’s become one of our most-used pieces of gear. Now we’re always the last ones awake, responsible for putting the speaker away and putting out the fire.
