If your goal is to transition into more lightweight gear and carry less bulky items, then start with your sleeping bag. The Sea To Summit Spark series are the best lightweight to warmth ratio we stock in our store. The face fabric is only 10D which is why you can see the 850+ down through it and allows the sleeping bag to compress into a tiny bag. The -9c model is a great option if you are looking for a 3-season sleeping bag or even 4-seasons if you sleep warm and don't mind adding a couple of layers. I would use this bag anytime between late winter to beginning of winter if camping and all the way through NZ winter if hutting. The baffles by the torso area have been designed vertically so that the down stays in place when moving around to stop any cold spots.

Something to keep in mind is that due to the face fabric being so thin, this would not suit someone who is sleeping in harsh conditions and is rough with their gear. The mummy shape is very tapered and could feel restrictive for people who like to move around in their sleep and the zips don't unzip all the way around. Keep in mind those things when considering this model, but you will need to make some compromises if wanting to transition to lightweight gear.

Fit tip:
Tapered mummy shape
  • Mummy Fit: Fitted cut with generous anatomical footbox and technical hood, to maximise thermal efficiency and minimise bulk and weight
  • bluesign®-approved 10D nylon shell and lining fabric offers breathability, protection and effective temperature regulation for premium comfort in the outdoors; PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) treatment keeps the hood and footbox highly water resistant
  • 850+ Fill Power, RDS-certified, Goose Down with ULTRA-DRY Down treatment for improved water resistance in damp conditions
  • 3/4-length #5 zip with anti-snag zip plow and two sliders
  • Vertical chest baffles, horizontal baffles in the lower half and base, box wall baffle construction throughout
  • Technical fitted hood with soft touch adjustment, extra deep for cosy-like feel
  • Standard front draft collar
  • Single, down-filled, draft tube along the top of zips
  • Pairs with women's Sea to Summit bags and the QuiltLock System allows integration with Sea to Summit quilts
  • Comes with an Ultra-Sil compression bag and a storage cell
  • Ultralight does not mean ultra-tight: The Spark mummy sleeping bags are snug but still have adequate wiggle room for the performance-oriented, backcountry user
