So based on this premise I'm trying to determine how it works. The open side with the drawstring and snaps..., is that on the bottom or top of you? If top,then aren't you lying on the down? Of course I realize there is suppose to be a pad underneath. If the open side is down, then do you bring something to put between you and the pad? It sure looks cozy but does it come with directions? I'm sure I'm making this cover much more complicated than it is. Thanks, Dan
Quilts and bags with no insulation on the bottom are good if you sleep on you back and don't move at night. But if you rollover or sleep on your side they can have cold spots and let cold air in. Also no hood makes them feel colder than a bag with one
