Happy Father’s Day to all dads out there! And just right for the occasion, here is a handy and trendy sleeping bag you may want to consider the next time you go on a camping trip. This is the Gelert Sleeping Pod, a comfy sleeping bag that won’t limit the movement that sleeping bags normally have.

It measures 2.2m long and 1.1m wide and is made of 170T polyester. It has soft polyester lining and is pretty much spacious for people who don’t want cramped sleeping bags when they are outdoors. The Gelert Sleeping Pod retails for only £44.99 and is available at Firebox.com.
