Reviews & Ratings for Sea to Summit Talus Ts II Sleeping Bag -750 Down- — 2 reviews — Page 1

This was the exact bag I was looking for, beautiful pag. It is warm enough to take you into light winter (can be a 3+ season bag with clothes/liner). Packs up small which is perfect for light hiking.

Cut is a little narrow, but fits great for me 5'9" athletic build I had plenty of room to roll around a big. Might be tight for burlier individuals tho.

It has more loft than my wife's "0F" bag! It is essentially a lighter and trimmer version of the XTII IMO. The bag compresses to virtually nothing (for a 15F bag) and the S2S zippers are better than with any other bag I've come across (Marmot, Mountain Hardwear, etc.).

All praise aside, this is a mummy bag through and through. I'm 5' 8", 170lbs and this is a comfortably snug fit. If you are much larger than about 5' 10", ~190lbs or move around a lot in your sleep, I would look elsewhere. I can...
