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.
