Sleeping Bag

Sleeping bags are portable bedding tubes that provide cushioning and insulation. They are used for camping and sleeping outdoors.

Sleeping bags are made by various manufacturers including Ketsurui Zaibatsu and prices vary from 30 to 200+ KS with a typical sleeping bag costing around 60 KS.

History

Sleeping bags were in use thousands of years before the era when the plots of the SARPiverse take place.

Description

Sleeping bags are usually shaped like a tube or person-sized envelope (e.g. rectangular) and have a zipper closure on one side. They come in a variety of sizes and weights. Sleeping bags have some level of padded insulation designed to operate in various climates and weather, which can be made of down or synthetic fill. They have a water-resistant exterior. Most sleeping bags come with a drawstring closure at the top.

Usage

Because the body's weight presses down on the padding, the bottom of a sleeping bag does not insulate as well as other parts, so it is a good idea to pair a sleeping bag with a mat. A sleeping bag alone plus a mat will provide good, efficient heat retention. Sleeping bags can be used with interior liners and exterior covers to increase weather/moisture resistance and to enhance insulation. When not in use, sleeping bags are rolled up and/or stuffed into a carrying bag.

Civilian Use

Sleeping bags are used by civilians primarily for recreation.

Military Use

Most military forces issue their planetary soldiers sleeping bags.
