Versatile, roomy, and reliably warm.
Sea to Summit says:
A backpack-capable sleeping bag with a higher level of comfort than traditional mummy bags. For a few extra grams and larger packed size, Hamelin brings the benefits of synthetic insulation in wet/sandy environments. Designed for comfort and
performance, the relaxed mummy fit offers plenty of room to move. The full-length side zipper extends throughout the foot box, along with a half-length zipper on the opposite side it provides ventilation and versatility.
Our Verdict
The Sea to Summit Hamelin -9C blends reliable performance with a relaxed fit that feels less restrictive than most mummy-style designs. The contoured, women's-specific fit allows for more natural movement without creating excess dead space, and the anatomically shaped footbox helps maintain warmth where it’s needed most.
The bag is rated to a lower limit of -9°C, and it performs well for most winter trips. The double-zip system, full-length on one side, half-length on the other, allows for excellent venting options or even converting the bag into a quilt on warmer nights.
At 1953g (Regular), it’s on the heavier side. Still, the durable 50D shell, smooth-running zip with plough, and thoughtful extras like the draft collar and pillow-compatible hood make it feel like a fully considered system rather than a pared-back option.
If you’re looking for comfort and resilience across a range of conditions, and don’t mind a bit of extra bulk, the Hamelin is a strong all-rounder.
