From big-wall ledges to hastily dug snow caves, the Exped Wallcreeper 650 Sleeping Bag is a versatile sleep system that functions as a sleeping bag, blanket, or belay parka. Fluffy 750-fill goose down provides highly-compressible warmth that won’t weigh down your haul bag or backpack. The Wallcreeper’s unique design functions like a standard mummy bag when fully zipped, and it opens up into a large blanket for two with the full-length center zip. The parka-style hood and side arm-hole zippers let you wear the bag while you brew up or organize gear, and a footbox cinch cord lets you wear it as a jacket for belaying. Exped also included a roll-top dry sack for keeping the down dry.
Bottom Line: It’s a jacket. It’s a blanket. It’s a sleeping bag. It’s awesome.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
Does this actually work as a sleeping bag and all that?

It does, and the Wallcreeper 650 represents a slow shift from the traditional sleeping bag + pad sleep system. In the push to create ultralight gear, functionality, comfort and in some cases, safety, were occasionally compromised. There are now at least two branches off the traditional sleep arrangement tree. One is the quilt system, which is closest to the Big Agnes bag-n-pad system (though for BA, it's still just a bag) but relies only on a quilt + attached pad (no sleeve), such as the GoLite Ultra. This is gaining in popularity as it is both highly efficient and ultralight without sacrificing function, warmth, or safety. The other branch is the multi-use bag, where the traditional bag is convertible into more than one use. This eliminates the need to take, in this instance, certain layer elements for cooler weather (when stationary).
As these two branches continue to gain popularity, expect even more innovative approaches and a further separation from the traditional bag system.

Wallcreeper not just a jacket and not just a sleeping bag...

There is a growing list of hikers/backpackers/paddlers/cyclists who are sleeping in hammocks, and doing so year around. Hammocks sleep colder than tents (bridges freeze before roads) and there are several ways to keep warm in a hammock even when its really cold out.
One way is to use UnderQuilts like those sold by Jacks R Better and they are great. Another way is to use a PeaPod sold by Speer Hammocks and they work great too. I prefer a PeaPod when I think it is going to be less than 20F, though UQs work at them temps too-it's just my preference.
This past weekend I was shown that the Wallcreeper is big enough to completely wrap around my hammmock with me in it...just like a PeaPod. So now your campwear can also be insulation for your entire hammock.
I'm a very cold sleeper so I wrapped the Wallcreeper around the hammock and then wrapped a Speer PeaPod around it! It's not often that I get hot camping out in January but this time I did.
I was so impressed with the Wallcreeper that I ordered another one. My original is the 35-38F rated model. Soon it will be joined by the 20F rated model.
Also, if you know of a product by Hilleberg, their BivAnorak then you will instantly see that combining a WallCreeper and the BivAnorak is instant shelter anywhere and shelter that you can move in if you have to or do camp chores in like cooking.
The only down side to the WallCreeper is the weight but that is even less important now that I know it has this new function of insulating my hammock completely around.
Change me.
