Sleep system we use in the Elixir 4 (buy the 4-person Elixir Tent and the corresponding 4-person Elixir Footprint) is also sold separately, and it’s on sale too.
The women’s version of the Sea to Summit Flame is about 3 ounces lighter (women’s versions often have less insulation and shorter length, a Winter 2022 WIRED story explains why). It still features 850-fill down for outstanding warmth to weight ratio and moisture resistance. Down bags are a great deal when on sale.

The Camalot X4 has a larger expansion range than the previous X4 with the same narrow head and rigid stem but are 30 percent lighter yet just as sturdy. These can be placed in smaller cracks than with competing broader shafted designs.

The latest version has not disappointed, with fewer features on the inside to increase softness, an improved heel cup, and more edge. They often run in sizes up to men’s 15, so everyone should be able to find them!
