Yes, I used to use the Sea to Summit Spark Pro, but I found it didn’t work well for me since I’m a side sleeper — I’d often end up sliding off the pad. Quilts can be secured to the pad, which makes a big difference for someone like me. Also, I’m a 5'5" female, and most regular sleeping bags are way too long. Custom-made quilts are a much better fit.

I’m 6ft 187lbs. I’ve got room in it but I’d have more if I got the longer version. I just didn’t wanna carry the extra weight. I like the fact that the bag can almost turn into a quilt and has lots of spots for heat to escape. Edit: as in zippers if you get too hot. I sleep extremely hot so it’s nice to open the bag up on top and use it like a quilt almost

My spark pro from sea to summit you can unzip and stick your arms and feet out lol :) kind of gimmicky but I can see it being nice on cold nights It also weighs quite a bit less than the Coleman 15 degrees bag I bought before. The Coleman had higher D rating material and allowed you to strap the bag to the pad which I think is neat tho

I’ve always used mummy bags and they work great for me but it’s a matter of preference. Obviously you can’t “starfish “. I would call S2S, ask if you could buy it, try it on in your home and return if it just doesn’t work. You might also look at the Pro version, slightly more bulk and weight but a little roomier and more versatile. The folks there seem to be very knowledgeable and willing to help.

Take a real hard look at the Sea to Summit Sparc rated to 30f, also comes in a 45 and 15. Beautiful bag, stuffs to the size of a 1ltr water bottle. Fabric and down technology is,in my humble opinion, unmatched. I’ve been in the industry for many decades, owned and tested more bags than I can name. S2S bags are a well kept secret.

I have a couple of those bags, I've been in the industry for decades and S2S makes some of the nicest, tech-forward bags I've ever seen or used. Great little company, superb product and support.

Sea To Summit makes, in my opinion, the best warmth to weight/ bulk equipment on the planet. It’s not budget, but it’s not the most expensive line out there and they do occasionally have sales. Take a hard look at the Sparc line of sleeping bags.

Sea to Summit Spark 0° for cold trips. It’s lightweight, packs tiny, and still keeps me warm in sub-zero temps. Make sure it has a draft collar and insulated hood, they make a huge difference when it’s windy. Test it at home first to make sure you’re comfortable.

I had three of those bags in my house at the same time along with a panyam 450. The s2s was the -1 version. I was disappointed with my quilt for shoulder season temps so decided I wanted a bag. Comparing the loft side by side the WM was the winner and I liked the extra width being a bit bigger. If you are ok with the standard size of the xlite and the standard 3mm zip the xlite is a great buy. Ps as you eluded too the Sea to summit ratings are T lower limit ratings, the comfort rating of their -1C bag is 4C, the comfort of the -9 is -2C, #marketing

The last bags we had were high end sea to summit that were rated to 0 to minus 15C. They were rubbish. We bought Neve gear quilts. Very light, compact and the best things ever.  Much easier to get in and out of. We still use a liner/sheet sac. If you can afford to get them made, as opposed to off the rack,  do that.   Don't ever use your bags outside, especially next to a fire.  Thats only for instagram pics. Pick a bright colour for the inside and a dark outside colour. We use trekology blow up mats.  Exped deteriorate too easy.  We use our gear a lot. Usually go for 1-4 months and sleep out 90% of the time.
