Do you sleep on your side? Many people do, and Nemo thought of that, and what they could do to make side sleepers more comfortable in a sleeping bag. They added a stretchy material in the knee area of the sleeping bag to allow you to sleep as comfortably as you would at home. The over-sized draft collar keeps cold air out, and the thermo gills keep the sleeping bag temperature regulated.
