The green model shown is currently out-of-stock but you can get on their mailing list when more arrive.

On the Web site there is a long explanation on why these bags are called "selk." Selk Bag = Sleeping Bag + Selk'nam. The Selk'nam were nomads who lived in Chilean's Austral Extreme, also known as Land of Smokes and finally as Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire), due to the numerous bonfires the natives lit at night and which conquerors could see from open seas."

I don't know about the history of the name on this bag but I do know that having a sleeping bag that can also be worn is an idea whose time has come.

Site to see: Ever wonder if you began to dig a hole, where you would end up? Try www.ubasics.com/dighole. This is a fun geography tool that automatically tells you where you would end up if you dug a hole from any spot on the globe. Most of the time the place you end up won't be on land but a spot in the ocean. An age-old question finally answered and you won't have to use a shovel to get the answer.
