BOULDER, CO – Sea to Summit, manufacturer of adventure travel equipment and lightweight backpacking gear, debuts their new fall 2013 collection
which includes an ultra light addition to their sleeping bag range. Sea
to Summit redefines the term ultra-light with the Spark SpI that stuffs
down to the size of a grapefruit and has amazing warmth to weight ratio.
But meticulous engineering doesn’t always mean ‘big’ – sometimes the
‘small’ things make all the difference. Sea to Summit also introduces
Field Repair Buckles, a patent pending design allowing adventurers to
repair broken buckles in the field using only a screwdriver.
NEW SLEEPING BAGS
Spark SpI (available August 2013; MSRP: $269 - $289)
Weighing
a mere 12.3 ounces and packing down to the size of a grapefruit, the
new Spark SpI sleeping bag from Sea to Summit sets the bar for
minimalist sleeping bags. The Spark is filled with the amazing moisture
repelling Ultra-Dry Down™ and has a micro-weight 10D Pertex Quantum®
shell fabric and a 15D nylon soft touch lining. The EN Lower Limit
rating of 46 degrees makes it ideal for through-hikers, adventure
racers, and anyone wanting to travel light and fast. It comes with a
storage cube, Ultra-Sil™ micro compression sack and cotton laundry bag
complete with care instructions.
Traveller TrI (available August 2013; MSRP: $189 - $209)
The
new Traveller sleeping bag boasts the same high-quality construction
and technical features that you expect from Sea to Summit sleeping bags
but with a larger semi-rectangular cut. This light and comfortable bag
is filled with 750+ loft Ultra-Dry DownTM, weighs just 13.7 ounces and
has an EN temperature rating of 50 degrees. The zipper adds versatility,
allowing it to be used as a blanket or to be zipped together with
another Traveller for extra room. The drawcord foot and collar can be
closed to seal in heat and create a mummy shaped bag. It is the ideal
bag for traveling, cycle touring, ultra-light hiking and adventure
racing. It comes with a storage cube, Ultra-Sil™ compression sack and
cotton laundry bag complete with care instructions.
NEW DRY PACK
Flow 35L DryPack (available August 2013; MSRP: $199)

lightweight travel.
NEW Field Repair Buckles (available May 2013; MSRP $3.95 - $5.50)
Sea
to Summit Field Repair Buckles are an easy and permanent solution for
broken or worn out buckles. The patent pending design allows you to

will these buckles save you in the field, they allow you to avoid the
hassle of sending your pack or bag off to have replacement buckles sewn
on. There are two styles of side release buckles and a ladder lock
version, all offered in two widths: 3⁄4” (20mm) and 1” (25mm). Several
Sea to Summit dry bags feature Field Repair Buckles: the Stopper Dry

other products in the category, without compromising strength or
durability. The Travelling Light™ range has been updated with bright,
modern colors and new packaging.
