You submitted schematic drawings and a photograph of the sleep sack in use. It is essentially rectangular; no dimensions were supplied, but the photograph shows an adult male wearing it and it appears to be quite roomy. It has a full-front zipper and a hood. There are no sleeves, but there are openings for the arms and the shoulders are covered. There are slots to accommodate a seatbelt.
