Why not use that and save money? You may have to do a couple of mods but, they did so on the HBS with the heater pockets, etc.
for years i used a WAL-MART JUNIOR SLEEPING BAG.
i put suspenders on it and it worked fine.
cost me 16 dollars and is CAMO too.
only problem it was not wind proof.not bad tho as you said.
water proof it was not also but usually you only use bag in cold, so no rain.
you are right.
i have WARMBAG .i like holes out the side.i like idea i can walk into woods and out wearing the warmbag.it is windproof and water proof.
other than that,YOU ARE RIGHT.
16 dollars vrs 350 for HBS .but HBS can go to below zero, so can sleeping bags too but they will cost over 100 to do so.
but i have a WARMBAG and like it.
