NOZIPP Sleeping Bags

We all know what it’s like to get our zipper stuck. If you want to avoid potential catastrophic zipper malfunctions such as those suffered by Ted Stroehmann, then the NOZIPP bag might be for you. Touted as “camping quilt meet mummy bag” this sleeping bag utilizes magnets rather than zippers. The idea for NOZIPP Sleeping Bags came from a civil engineer named Taylor Henderson, apparently out of frustration. He decided on one particular camping trip he had struggled with zippers for the last time and that determination led to NOZIPP.

Apparently it was a good idea — the concept quickly reached full funding on Kickstarter.

Los Angeles, CA (March 10, 2016) —  On Tuesday, March 8th, its 8th day on Kickstarter, NOZIPP, the sleeping bag that forgoes zippers in favor of magnetic closures, reached full funding. Targeted towards campers who covet versatility and comfort from their gear, NOZIPP solves several issues consumers face with sleeping bags: easier entry and exit, comfort in a wider range of temperatures, and a modular design that allows for roomier sleeping.

If you've ever slept under a camping quilt, you know how homey they feel, but sometimes they aren't warm enough. Mummy bags, while toasty, can be too constricting. NOZIPP's redesign of the sleeping bag replaces easy-to-snag zippers with four rows of magnetic closures, creating a customizable sleeping bag that's easy to get in and out of and sleeps comfortably in a wide array of temperatures.

EN-tested down to fifteen degrees Fahrenheit, the bag's two overlapping front flaps lay across the user's upper body creating an oversize baffle and aligning all twenty magnets for a bundled, cozy night of sleep in cold weather. In warmer temps, the inner-most fabric of the flaps can be aligned to create less insulation over the chest and a roomier area for upper body movement. Or, simply leave the two flaps completely open on nights upwards of 65 degrees. Summary? This thing is a quiver-killer.

Bonus: Because the magnets are easier to break out of than zippers, middle-of-the-night bathroom trips are a cinch. And, no zipper means you'll be far less annoying to tent mates.
