If you run around in a sleeping bag, I guess that works.

hunting sleeping bag


Explanation:
I'm no hunter, but I'd be tempted to call this what it is. I'm not sure there would be any difference to the sleeping bag depending on where the hunter uses it. But as I said, I'm no hunter...

agree  philgoddard: I think "hunter's" is better, to avoid having two words ending in "-ing".

agree  jccantrell: From the USA, either 'hunter' or 'hunting' and we call it a 'hunting blind' over here, not a 'hide.'

neutral  philgoddard: Whatever this product looks like, it's a sleeping bag. I don't see Schlafsack in either of your references.

  -> I didn't know that you knew so much about hunting culture in Germany. Even though you didn't ask nicely, I added two references.

agree  Lancashireman: More convincing than a sleeping hunting bag.
2 hrs

agree  Björn Vrooman: See disc. I think this qualifies as most helpful, since it's not "just" a sleeping bag.
