The Sea to Summit Basecamp BC2 Sleeping Bag is a cunning little piece of kit. Warm enough to get you through a chilly winter hike, but versatile enough to be your one-size-fits-all bag.
Sure, it's filled with 750+ loft 90/10 premium grey duck down, making it a beautiful lofty bag that boasts a great weight vs warmth ratio. But it's the way that it handles anything that you throw at it that makes it so impressive. Is it really cold? No worries. Zip yourself right up, pull the hood over your head, and pull the drawcords tight. Toasty in no time. It's warming up. Great. Unzip either side or both at once. Let the air flow. Bit warmer? Zip both sides right down just leaving a comfy foot box to keep your most extreme extremities snug. Are things heating up? Zip the top from the base and use it as a quilt. Now it's really hot? Cool. Strap the base to your sleeping mat and go 'topless'!
I did say the Basecamp was versatile, didn't I? And to top it off it has a neat little elastic strap to strap your pillow to the outside of the hood. No more waking up with a crookneck. Just super comfy sleep, no matter what the temperature.
I can't see a price listed for this, nor will the site allow me to add it to my cart. Can you please advise price and shipping etc?
G'day Steven,
I've just double checked and unfortunately we are completely out of the Basecamp BCII Sleeping Bag and they're a discontinued item so we're not able to get anymore. I'll get the team to remove the product page from our site. The new equivalent model is the Explore Ex2 or Ex3.
Hi there. I see that the total weight is 1195 G. Do you know the weight of just the top/quilt section. Thanks
G'day Carl,
In our images, the base/mattress is there just to show how you can use the Sea to Summit Basecamp BCII Sleeping Bag if you wanted to include a mattress but it's not included with the bag. The 1195g weight is purely the weight of the sleeping bag.
I found at wildearth ... Quilt only weight: Regular 740g Quilt only weight: Long 849g
G'day Carl,
Will a StS Aeros Premium Deluxe pillow fit the BcII pillow attachment strap? The guide says it’s designed to fit an Ultralight Large pillow but I prefer a larger pillow without the ribs.
G'day Brett,
I wasn't 100% certain on this one, so I gave Sea to Summit a buzz. They told me that unfortunately, the Aeros Premium Deluxe Pillow won't fit the Sea to Summit Basecamp BCII Sleeping Bag's straps. The largest you would want to go with is the Large Ultralight Pillow.
What size mats will the basecamp footbox straps fit?
G'day Nathan,
The straps on the Sea to Summit Basecamp BCII Sleeping Bag are elastic and designed to fit around pretty much any of Sea to Summit's mats. The bloke I spoke to at Sea to Summit said that as long as you get a sleeping bag that's the right size for you and a mat that's the right size, then you'll have no worries whatsoever.
Can you join two bags together Given they have a dual zipper system?
G'day Jus,
You shouldn't have too many issues at all zipping two of the Sea to Summit Basecamp BCII Sleeping Bags together. Just be aware that because they taper off at the foot end, they will be a slightly odd shape when you zip two together.
Hey, Snowys, just wanted to know can you zip two of these amazing sleeping bags together.
G'day Alicia,
Great question. I've just spoken with the designer at Sea to Summit and you can zip the Sea to Summit Basecamp BC I & II bags together. It takes a bit of organisation to get all the zips lined up correctly, but it is absolutely possible and will provide a comfortable double bag arrangement.
