Why, oh why, do I always fall in love with the most expensive one every time?
I suffer from the same syndrome, not even knowing the prices, I go straight to the most expensive one.
yep, my favorite one was the $500 one too...lol
I can make you a cute sleeping bag: (1) get a cute blanket, (2) put a leather belt around it. Voila! That will be $500.
That denim one is pretty dang cool.
The denim one looks kind of fantastic, but also looks like it would be pretty easy to make!

These look a lot like rolled up blankets
Haha yeah, may not be good for camping?? That denim one is ridiculous. Maybe it is just the backpacker in me, but that is going to be heavy to start with, then (being made in Seattle, and me being from Seattle) I have to assume it is going to get damp. Then it will be even heavier, and will take forever to dry out, and you basically won't be able to use it. But, I guess that makes it perfect for a lot of Seattle types: buy a Subaru, buy overpriced and unreasonably camping-ish-looking-ish stuff, then proceed to sit on your laptop in a coffee place for your entire life and never actually go outdoors.
Long story short, your guests will probably like an Ikea duvet and a couch a lot more than a 500 dollar sleeping bag.
Hi Holler,
Ben Masters here, Founder of Scout / Seattle. Thanks for your thoughtful feedback. If you don't mind, I'd like to make a few comments as well.
I'm in Seattle and camp with the Field Bed all the time. It's not the sleeping bag I take with me to backpack 50 miles, but I use it all the time car camping. I keep it in the tent so it doesn't get wet, and when it does I dry it out on the line, no big deal. It rains here a lot, but most people aren't camping until it gets warmer and dries up. Summers are amazing here!
As for home use, I have a lot of customers who use this on their beds as a duvet, even a friend who uses it under his desk at work. I'd be pretty stoked to sleep on this as a guest in someone's house. An Ikea duvet would be fine -- just not a conversation starter over coffee in the morning.
For what it's worth, the Field Bed pricing is simply a function of what it costs us to make it from amazing materials in the US. It's expensive, sure, but I've sold out of them a few times already. It's not for everyone, but what is?
I like Subarus, but own a Volkswagen -- are those okay to "backpackers?" I also sit in a lot of coffee shops, but not on laptops -- chairs. Despite that I manage to get outdoors all the time, as do lots of our customers.
Thanks again for the opportunity to respond to your note. We spent a lot of time thinking about these things before launching Scout, so we're ready for the easy questions.
Best,
.b
