Sea to Summit Traverse Synthetic Sleeping Bag
Best versatile synthetic bag for damp climate backpackers.
This is the rare synthetic bag that actually understands how you sleep, using a clever dual-zipper system to vent heat or open completely flat like a quilt. You sacrifice the ultimate packability of down, but you gain a versatile, moisture-resistant shelter that adapts to almost any temperature.
