I just got in my new summer bag and thought I would share it with everyone here. It is a Sea To Summit SP1 Spark bag which has a low temperature rating of 46 degrees. I plan on using it exclusively for summer camping in the Southeast so I anticipate it's lack of heavy insulation to be perfectly adequate.

It is an 850 fill dry down bag (which they have independently certified which I thought is a nice touch)

This bag truly surprised me with how light it is ... 13.9 ounces with the 1 ounce compression sack (12.9 ounces for the bag itself)

It absolutely blows my Mountain Hardwear Hyperlamina Spark bag out of the water both in weight and in packed size. (granted the Hyperlamina is a 32 degree bag and the Sea To Summit is a 46 degree bag so it's not quite comparing apples to apples, but still)

It is quite narrowly cut, but seems to be adequately long enough for me. (I am 5'11" so I am always on the verge of needing a long)

While I have yet to actually USE the bag, I am excited to see how it holds up. I will definitely keep you all posted
