It isn't deep enough for the whole sleeping bag to fit in, but it protects the vulnerable lower half, which for me, usually presses against my tent wall. If the sea sock was long (deep) enough, it might double as an emergency bivy. It doesn't breathe, except at the opening, but might keep you warmer than without. And for those of you who use less than full-length thermarest pads, using your sea sock as a cover might not be a bad idea. Speaking of bivies, I wonder who's slept inside their boat? I wonder if anybody has modified their boat to make it possible to lay down and sleep in. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
