mummy bag

Body-shaped sleeping bag

A mummy bag is a sleeping bag tapered to follow the body's contours, narrowing from shoulders to feet like an Egyptian mummy's wrappings.

The close fit minimizes dead air space, making mummy bags warmer and lighter than rectangular sleeping bags: I brought my mummy bag for the alpine trip.
