    They are like a sleeping bag, but because they have an open back, they save quite a bit of weight. They have straps so you strap them to the sleeping pad/air mattress. This way, you are still insulated 360°.

    The basic idea is that in a sleeping bag, because you compress the material below you, that material doesn’t really insulate anyway.
