The LuxuryLite® "V" Bag The Down Mummy Bag with a Center Zipper
The LuxuryLite® "V" Bag is an ultralight down sleeping bag with one major improvement over other sleeping bags...
a full-length zipper over your chest, not down the side. This style of zipper delivers a much wider temperature range so you need only one sleeping bag for all your 3-season camping. When totally un-zipped it makes a great quilt with a warm footbox and the hood in the middle for your head. To keep the weight under 2 lbs, the “V” bag shifts down from the torso into the leg/foot section because, in cold weather, most hikers carry a warm jacket for day use and plan to use it inside their sleeping bag at night. This will make the torso plenty warm, but reduces important heat convection currents to the legs and feet, making them feet feel cold and waking you up. The relatively more down in the lower section of the “V” Bag will compensate and keep your legs and feet warm when you wear a down jacket. The included 2.5 ounce LuxuryLite PillowPad fits just right inside the hood.
The Benefits of the Full-length Chest Zipper: 1 - Wide temperature range from 20F to 60F because you can easily control heat leakage.
2 - For a little cooling - keep zipped and push the zipper baffle aside.
3 - For more cooling - unzip a few feet and fold out one side.
4 - For warm weather - unzip several feet and fold out both sides of the zipper.
5 - No cold zipper draft at your side and shoulder from a zipper at ground level
6 - The fiberfill zipper baffle does not get crushed so you stay warmer.
7 - Zipper never gets wet/dirty/jammed from laying at ground level.
8 - The zipper tab is always easy to find in the middle of the night, no arm twisting.
9 - When unzipped, the bag flaps stay on top of you for both side and back sleeping.
10 - Zipper has a thick webbing along both sides so no midnight zipper jams.
11 - The hood is in the middle when totally unzipped to make a quilt.
12 - The LuxuryLite PillowPad (not included) fits easily inside the roomy hood..
Why such bright colors? The bright colors won't compromise stealth camping, because the bag is inside your shelter. The yellow stripes show up easily in the darkest tent so you know the bag is right-side up and the zipper is centered. The red color makes a huge emergency flag that a rescue team or aircraft can see from far away.
"Can I get two more of the sleeping bags at the same price I paid for the one I bought a couple of weeks ago? I got it and love it!"

"I just got back from my first overnight outing with my new V Bag and I want you to know how much I like this sleeping bag. I have not used a center zip bag since my Army/Air Force days and that was so long ago I don't like to talk about it."
"On my first overnight with this bag I slept under a diamond fly with no wind and 25 degrees of damp Ozark humidity. I started out using the bag as a quilt over two foam sleeping pads. I was wearing two pair of wool socks, thin fleece long johns, sweat pants, and a hooded sweat jacket over a down vest and wool watch cap. I was too warm at first but about 2 am, I pulled another bag over me. I slept just fine until almost daybreak when out of curiosity, I zipped up the V Bag and went right back to sleep until the sun reached the open front of my East facing tarp." Don D. 11/07
