The EN Rating scale is a scientific test to determine the warmth of a sleeping bag. The test produces a Lower rating (for male sleepers) and a Comfort rating (for female sleepers). Both are listed in the features table on the product page.
A unisex sleeping bag with a Lower limit of 14ºF means a man should be comfortable down to air temperatures of 14ºF. The same bag will also have a Comfort limit, in the realm of 27°F, so a woman would be comfortable down to an air temperature of 27ºF. These ratings require a sleeping mat with an R-Value appropriate for expected ground temperatures – without this, the sleeping bag itself is unlikely to keep the sleeper warm enough.
A variety of factors impact sleeping bag warmth - the above temperatures are merely guidelines, not guarantees. It’s important to think of a sleeping bag, an appropriately insulating sleeping pad and a liner as a sleep system. For example - if you plan on sleeping in nighttime air temperatures of 27ºF / -3°C, choose a bag with a gender-appropriate rating of 23°F / -5°C, plus a sleeping mat with an R-Value of 2.5 to 3, and consider a Reactor thermal liner.
Description
Incredibly versatile, the Altitude women's down sleeping bag is snug and cozy when it's cold, and cool and ventilated when the weather warms. Shaped to match your natural sleeping position the Altitude is both comfortable and light enough to carry anywhere.
DESIGNED FOR WOMEN
Shaped for comfort
Narrower at the shoulders, wider between the hips and knees. Regardless of the position you sleep in (figure-four, on your side or on your stomach), this shape provides a significantly higher level of comfort by giving you the room to move without compressing the insulation.
Warmth from additional insulation
Additional insulation compared to unisex bags, positioned using different body mapping for thermal performance exactly where it is needed. The comfort and versatility-oriented Journey and Altitude sleeping bags have an additional Thermolite layer in the footbox to warm your feet fast. Temperatures for Women’s sleeping bags are shown using the gender appropriate Comfort rating.
Maximum comfort for a good night's rest
Construction details like snug-fitting hoods and oversized draft tubes keep you warm in cooler weather. As temperatures rise, the Free-Flow zipper system of the Journey, Venture and Altitude allow you to increase ventilation up to the point where the bag opens completely flat as a quilt. Super-soft fabrics are comfortable in any season.
You don’t have to narrow your options with a constrictive mummy bag – expand your horizons with a sleeping bag which fits the way you sleep.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
The second 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.
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 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.
Thermolite® HL-1 is part of the family of Thermolite® materials used in Sea to Summit sleeping bags, sleeping bag liners and sleeping mats. HL-1 high loft insulation is a fiberfill constructed with a unique 3D crimp of hollow-core and solid fibers, which provides excellent lightweight warmth with superior durability. The Thermolite insulation lofts up inside the Air Sprung Cells™ of our sleeping mats to prevent convective heat loss from your warm body to the cold ground.
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.
Sea to Summit Women’s Specific Sleeping Pads:
Built differently from the ground up, to provide women adventurers with the best possible sleep.
Both Air Sprung Cell and Self-Inflating mats have a shape that is narrower at the shoulder, then widest between the hips and knees to permit a natural side or ‘figure four’ sleeping position. Air Sprung Cell pads have more Thermolite® insulation than their Unisex counterparts. Self-Inflating pads have smaller-dimensioned Delta Cores in the hip and foot sections to create extra Comfort and Warmth Zones.
Sea to Summit Women’s Specific Sleeping Bags:
Engineered differently than Unisex models, to provide women adventurers with the best possible sleep.
They have a shape that is narrower at the shoulder, then widest between the hips and knees to permit a natural side or ‘figure four’ sleeping position. Women’s specific body mapping deploys insulation for warmth where it is most needed. Additionally, the Journey and Altitude down bags have a layer of Thermolite synthetic insulation in the footbox to warm your feet more quickly.
Journey, Altitude, and Venture can be zipped into many Sea to Summit Unisex sleeping bags.

Frequently Asked questions
Is this sleeping bag warm enough for shoulder seasons?
Yes. The high-lofting down, cozy hood and draft collar, and extra Thermolite® insulation in the foot box provide the warmth you need for the coldest temps. For more extreme conditions, try the Altitude 15°F sleeping bag and pair it with a sleeping pad that has 3.5 R-Value or higher, like the Women's Comfort Light Insulated.
Is this sleeping bag actually cool in warm weather and summer temperatures?
Yes! This sleeping bag is uniquely equipped with a Free-Flow Zip system, which includes separate zippers on your left and right sides, as well as the foot box, for ventilation. You can also easily transform it into a lightweight comforter for those hotter nights.
Can this sleeping bag be zipped to another sleeping bag?
Yes! This sleeping bag can be zipped together with our Ascent, Trek, or Traverse sleeping bag models. The Altitude's regular and long sizes have the same side zipper length.
