Tried this bag out for the first time over a relatively mild weather weekend (40 degrees at night) and am very impressed. It's super soft and lofty. I'm 5'6" 150lbs and the regular size had plenty of wiggle room for me to feel comfortable in many sleeping positions (mostly side) and not claustrophobic at all. I wore a light layer both nights, light socks, and no hat. Snuggled in with the hood cinched up. I'm a notoriously cold sleeper, but I woke up in the middle of both nights super sweaty and had to unzip the hood! It's clearly built for colder weather and I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces. Also for reference, I was car camping during this trip and used a Therm-a-rest Luxury Map sleeping pad with a high R-value.
I want to love this bag. Its so soft and comfy. Super easy to pack down. However I freeze at night in this bag when the weather is around 46 ferinhieght Which is no where close that what the rating is. I even use their sleep matt for colder weather. I've started wearing many layers when using the bag and I'm still so cold I cant sleep. Wish i could write a better review because I love sea to summit products. However, being cold is the worst. The matt is comfy tho. And if it's not cold outside the bag is great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used it at around -10 degrees Celsius in the lodges at Himalayas, and it was perfect. Used it during November times at the Everest trekking areas. It would warm up quite fast during freezing temperatures, and kept me nice and warm. I get cold very easily, so I am all praises and grateful for this bag. I also doubled it at times with my partner’s sleeping bag and was amazing as we could cozy up. Highly recommend!
I needed a lightweight yet warm bag to take on the Colorado Trail. I love this bag so far! I haven't taken it anywhere as my trip isn't for another month. It packs down small and fluffs back up well, feels very well made and was comfortable when I got in to test it. I love the zipper for the side and the separate one for your feet. I'm very excited to be taking this on my trip on the Colorado Trail!
After a couple weeks of use over the past year of owning this bag, I like most everything about it: relaxed mummy style is more comfortable, nice fabric feel, it can open like a quilt when it’s warmer outside, and especially love the coupling capabilities with my partners bag. The hood however is cut in an odd shape; fully cinched it up it covers my mouth, forehead, and is open around my eyes (same thing happens with my partner in his bag, the Trek). I wish the hood when fully cinched would cover my face with the opening be around my nose/mouth to allow moisture to escape outside of the bag with my breath. This would require about 3 more inches of material coming down on the upper part of the hood. I’ve haven’t slept down to 18F yet, I was cold while going to sleep at 30F in a basic long sleeve base layers plus a puffy jacket, but then woke up and had to take the jacket off because I was so hot. Overall I love it and I just wear a hat pulled over my face to compensate for the hood.
This is my third Sea to Summit sleeping bag and a great addition to our kit. It locks into my other bag and we use it on inflatable queen size bed when car camping and it is small enough to pack away into an overnight pack when we are hiking.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packs down so much but explodes with loft when taken out. Zipped together with the Ascent makes a double bag that is almost too warm for most applications, but even in its own it is perfectly toasty.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the most comfortable lightweight compact down bags I have ever owned no smell soft and I didn't sweat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sleeping bag is light weight, so warm and really comfortable
Warm all night, good fit, love the color and softness.
