Description
In colder temperatures, cinch down the technical hood, zip up the draft-tube protected zippers and allow the 750+ Ultra-Dry Goose Down to keep you warm. As temperatures rise, unzip the Free-Flow Zip system for additional ventilation or completely unzip to be a quilt for use during the extra warm nights. The Ascent sleeping bag is one of very few true three-season backcountry bags available. You can even close the snaps at the shoulders, open the footbox zipper and wear the Ascent at camp giving you real freedom on your backpacking adventures.
Design Details
Technical Features
The third highest-lofting down used in any of Sea to Summit’s sleeping bags or quilts. 750+ Fill Power indicates that one ounce (30g) of down will re-expand to over 750 cubic inches after compression. Higher loft means that less down can be used to achieve the same temperature rating – important for performance sleeping bags. The loft and down quality/composition are independently tested by the International Down and Feather Laboratory (IDFL) – a copy of the certification is supplied with every Sea to Summit sleeping bag. The down is responsibly sourced and RDS certified and treated with our non-PFC Ultra-Dry Down™ treatment.
Our Free Flow triple-zip design ensures your sleeping bag retains maximum warmth and efficiency when needed and multiple ventilation options when it's not. The (half-) zip on the right side of the bag (left side on women's bags) provides freedom of movement for both arms, additional ventilation and allows (the top third of) the bag to be folded down as a (mini) quilt when the mercury climbs higher than expected.
The QuiltLock system uses the snap locks located at the shoulder and foot end of Sea to Summit sleeping bags plus the quilt footbox / quilt straps to secure a quilt to the sleeping bag. This adds thermal performance and versatility to your sleep system: your integrated quilt now works for ultralight summer adventures and turns your three-season bag into a four-season sleep system.
100% of the down used in our sleeping bags and quilts is independently certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). The RDS certifies down against animal welfare requirements and tracks it from the source to the final product. The purchase of RDS certified products demonstrates demand for better animal welfare practices in the down and feather supply chain. Sea to Summit is certified to the RDS.

Our women's specific bags feature a distinctive shape designed to provide more comfort and the best thermal efficiency. The designs are ideally suited to a woman's shape - slightly narrower in the shoulders and roomier through the hip area. Down distribution is perfectly matched to ensure the torso and the foot areas are kept toasty warm.
Sea to Summit sleeping bags do not contain PFCs.
Ultra-Dry Down™ uses a non-PFC hydrophobic treatment to ensure it absorbs less moisture and dries more quickly. The treatment does not affect the breathability or the lifespan of the down and lasts through at least 20 washings.
The down used in our sleeping bags is RDS-certified responsibly sourced.
Down and synthetic-insulated sleeping bags utilize a non-PFC DWR treatment on the shell fabric for external moisture repellency. This helps prevent the insulation from becoming damp if the sleeping bag comes into contact with condensation on a tent wall, for instance.

Frequently Asked questions
What does 'women's specific' mean?
Narrower shoulders, the widest point at the hips to allow a woman to assume a natural, side-sleeping position, and insulation deployed where women need most warmth (midsection and footbox).
Is the Ascent suitable for colder weather?
Yes - the -9°C/15°F version has high-lofting down, a technical hood and draft tubes that make it great for extended three-season use.
Is the Ascent comfortable in warmer weather?
Yes! The Free-Flow zippers can be opened sequentially for ventilation or to open the bag completely flat as a quilt. Plus - they allow the bag to be coupled to most STS Unisex bags
