Imagine a sleeping bag that kept you warm in extreme climates but was designed with a balance of features that made it comfortable on a family camping getaway? Well look no further, the Sea to Summit Latitude LtIII is an amazingly warm bag with extra room around the chest and feet, and a full-length zip so you can open it right out in mild conditions.
A differential cut construction combined with offset baffles and a tapered roomy foot section provide an amazing balance of warmth and comfort. Nothing has been left out in the interest of saving weight, draft tube, neck baffle, three-dimensional hood and draw-cords to keep the warmth in, the Latitude is a fully featured bag.
They’ve even included an internal zippered accessory pocket! Once compressed the Latitude takes up just 9.5L of volume in your pack and comes with a laundry bag/storage cell for when your adventure is over. If you’re looking to keep yourself warm on the summit of Kosciusko in the middle of winter, the Sea to Summit Latitude LtIII is the bag for you.
I am a 6ft 80kg guu. Would the regular fit me or should I look at the long?
G'day Craig,
You'll definitely fit inside the Regular Sea to Summit Latitude LtIII Sleeping Bag but you'll probably find that your feet go all the way to the end and the bag ends right at your neck. If you wanted a bit of extra breathing room then you might want to look at the large.
I am a female 172cm and 75kg. I am wanting to know would the womens sleeping bag be adequate?
G'day Taylah,
The Sea to Summit Latitude WLtII Women's Bag is recommended for women up to 170cm tall. Given that you're slightly over that, you should still be fine to use it provided that you don't stretch all the way out whilst you sleep. If you do, then it might be worth looking at the non-gender specific sleeping bag.
Hi there, which sleeping bag is warmer the BCIII or LTIII? Which one of those would be more suitable for three/four season backcountry trekking being a very cold sleeper? Thank you!
G'day Geraldine,
The Sea to Summit Latitude LtIII Sleeping Bag has the better comfort temperature rating at -10°. It also weighs less than the Basecamp BCIII. It's probably worth noting that the Basecamp has significantly more room inside it, which may or may not be a preference for some people.
I'm wondering what the key difference is between Latitude and Trek bags, other than squarer bottom and smaller pack down size for Trek. I'm 175cm tall, so would you say I'm too tall for the TkII or LtII women's bag? Thanks!
G'day Cat,
Are you thinking that you'd be too tall for the women's TkII and LtII? If so, then yeah, I'd agree with you on that. I don't think you'd be too tall for the men's versions though. As for the differences between the Sea to Summit Latitude LtIII Sleeping Bag and the TkIII sleeping bag, the Latitude is warmer but also slightly heavier and will use up more room in your bag. That's pretty much all the difference between the two really.
Hi can't decide which is best for lightweight hiking in Victoria, any advise?
G'day Tom,
To help you with your decision, can you give me a bit of insight into what features matter most to you? Warmth? Weight? Space Available? Packed Down Size?
Alternatively, feel free to give our Customer Support team a call on 1300 914 007 and they can help chat through your options with you.
Hi, I'm tossing up between the Latitude women's T11 and the Latitude T3 as I'm heading to the Himalayas & need something warm. I'm approx 167cm & about 55kg. I guess potentially, I could fit in either. But I like a bit of wriggle room & don't like to feel too restricted & im nearing the max height for the women's T2. What would your recommendations be? Is the T3 quite narrow? Thanks in advance.
G'day Helen,
Tough call with out getting you in the bags to try them out but I'd say go for the Sea to Summit Latitude WLtII. It'll definately give you a bit more wiggle room around the hips and feet. Height wise you'll be fine, I'm 165cm and 60kg and I just went and jumped in one to check. Definately roomier than my unisex LtII as well! Have a great trip to the roof of the world!
I'm a 182cm tall male. What size should I go for?
G'day Ivan,
You'd just fit into the regular size Sea to Summit Latitude LtIII sleeping bag and this would keep you nice and snug. However, if you're after a bit more space in the length, I would definitely recommend going with the long size.
My kid is 170 cm at 14 yrs of age. Doubt she will grow much more but is the height of the back from the shoulders or head? 170 cm seems small. Also do you offer this bag in a regular right zip?
G’day Di,
It looks like the regular size – which caters for users up to 183 cm would be the best size if your daughter as she’s 170cm tall (the short size has a max height of 165cm, the long 192cm).
We measure our height recommendations from the inside of the bag at the foot to just where the hood starts.
I’ve just checked our system, and we don’t have any stock of the Latitude LtIII Right Zipper bag as it has actually been discontinued, unfortunately.
Hi, I was wondering if you can zip these bags together as long as the zippers are on the opposite sides? If they do, how would it go if you zipped a long and short bag together? Thanks Paul
G'day Paul,
I've just confirmed this with Sea to Summit, and as the length of the side zip is the same across the sizes of the Latitude LtIII, so you can zip a long and short bag together.
have enquiries re the following baghttps://www.snowys.com.au/latitude-ltiii-sleeping-bag-long-17c#details Nothing is mentioned re the fabric down and water resistance qualities eg. other bags have a Pertex Endurance shell is brilliant in damp conditions, providing excellent breathability and water resistance at minimum weight. An inner of highly breathable, 15-denier Vapour Vent fabric saves
G'day Thomas,Â
I've spoken to Sea to Summit, and they've given me the following information about your queries:Â
The Latitude uses a micro-porous coating on a 20 denier nylon to create a waterproof/breathable shell fabric. The specs of the Latitude's fabric (water head and breathability) are very similar to the Pertex Endurance product, though it's marginally heavier to provide better durability.Â
Those specs are not published by Sea to Summit as they are constantly working to improve them. Because they work directly with Fabric Mills (rather than just buy fabric in the marketplace) they can keep tinkering and changing the fabric to make it better.
The outer fabric also works extremely well in damp conditions, as well as offering excellent breathability to vent perspiration during use.
I hope this fully answers your question about the Latitude LtIII, let us know if you need any more information.Â
Hi there, I have been looking at these 2 sleeping bags and the differences seem fairly minor. Talus compressed volume is 9.15L, Latitude is slightly bigger at 9.6L. Latitude has a bit more room at the hips and feet. Latitude has a foot opening, Talus doesn't. Talus has 3D side walls, Latitude doesn't. Talus weighs 1225g, Latitude weighs 1290g. So my questions: Are there any pros or cons to either bag I am missing? Are 3D side walls much of an advantage? I don't really get what this is. I am 160cm and 63kg female, would you suggest a short sleeping bag? For 2 sleeping bags to be zipped together I assume they would need to be the same size, is this the case, or can short and regular awkwardly zip together somehow? I am a very cold sleeper and intend to use the bag for 3 season hiking and camping so warmth, compressed size, and weight are all important. Thanks!
G'day Jo,
There are some minor differences between the Talus and the Latitude. The Talus has a slightly narrower foot end, at 107cm compared to a little more generous Latitude 118cm, and the Latitude offers a double zipper instead of the single in the Talus.
The rest of the features of the two Sleeping Bags are very comparible.Â
