The Sea to Summit 2019 Sleeping Bag range is a re invention of the category by the brand who has brought us such iconic sleeping bags like the Trek series and the ultra lightweight Spark series bags.
It’s been nearly 10 years since they released their first sleeping bag range and they have delivered so much development in that time. From their early beginnings they have tweaked individual models and introduced new ones to provide a range that caters for just about everyone. Their 2018 range was a selection of fantastic models which perform incredibly well (we've got some great deals on these at the moment - up to 40% Off) but in true Sea to Summit form they have made great bags even better with the release of the 2019 Sea to Summit Sleeping Bag range.
After taking a step back to look at the 2018 range, and using global customer feedback data and their own in depth understanding of how Sea to Summit sleeping bags should perform, the new range was designed around 2 main themes;
The first is Technical Performance, and the second is Comfort and Versatility.
They have continued to use innovative super lightweight fabrics and technical materials, whilst focusing on comfort and versatility across their entire sleep system. They have also given their Women’s models a makeover, and now offer a more complete synthetic range.
In 2019 Sea to Summit are introducing more new features to some of their models (n.b. These features are not in all models)
- Vertical Baffle Construction in the chest (eliminates down compression with side sleepers)
- Improves comfort with improved warmth
- Free Flow Zip system
- Versatility, and comfort through the ability to tweak temperatures
- Lighter weight fabrics, down to 7D in the updated Spark and Flame
- Aesthetic updates which aid customers in understanding the range.
- Highlighted zip locations
- Womens models highlight additional insulation in the foot box
- They have also updated the shape of several models to improve comfort which can be seen in individual models.
