The Sea to Summit Venture VtII is a premium synthetic sleeping bag for cold-weather adventures, offering comfort even in freezing temperatures. Its unique insulation traps maximum warmth, while a contoured hood and oversized draft tubes prevent heat loss.
Sea to Summit says:
The Venture women's synthetic mummy sleeping bag brings new levels of versatility to the realm of synthetic-insulation sleep systems. A full-length right-side zipper, a half-length left-side zipper, and a foot box zipper provide unparalleled ventilation or allow the Venture to be opened completely flat like a comforter.
The unique WaveLoft construction allows the Thermolite insulation to expand out into air-trapping curves for maximum warmth, and the overall wider mummy shape of the Venture matches your natural sleeping position for supreme comfort
Whatever the weather conditions - make sure you pack this bag before you venture out.
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. 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.
Our Verdict
The Sea to Summit Venture VtII is a premium synthetic sleeping bag for cold-weather adventures. An EN comfort rating of -5°C (23°F) provides cosy warmth even when temperatures dip well below freezing.
The key is the highly thermally efficient WaveLoft Thermolite insulation, which traps maximum warmth in its heat-trapping curves. The women's specific cut positions more insulation over the core to boost thermal performance where needed most. A contoured hood and oversized draft tubes prevent heat loss.
Despite its impressive warmth for weight, the Venture VtII avoids the overly constrictive mummy shape thanks to its wider cut around the hips and knees. This allows freedom of movement without compressing the insulation.
When milder conditions move in, the innovative Free Flow zipper system lets you increase ventilation or fully open the bag flat like a quilt for maximum comfort.
