Ultimate travel pajamas, December 5, 2005
After looking for many years for the best travel pajamas, I've finally found them.
I recently ordered the Cocoon silk pajama set (short-sleeved top plus shorts) and was absolutely delighted with the quality. In fact, I like them so much I've ordered a second pair.
Not only do they fold up into a tiny, nearly weightless bundle smaller than your fist, but they are really comfortable. Also, they look presentable enough so if (God forbid!) there was a fire at your hotel in the middle of the night you could run outside in them without totally embarrassing yourself.
Real silk is so wonderful when you travel, too. You can wash it out in the sink, roll it up in a towel and it's always dry by morning. Plus, it feels luxurious, keeps you warm when it's cold and keeps you cool when it's hot (I'm not sure how one fiber can do all this but, in my experience, it's true).
These PJs are a tad pricey but I don't expect to have to buy any more for quite a while. I'm getting ready to go on a nine-day trip and I'm only taking two pair (one to wear and a spare) since I can wash them out so easily.
The women's PJs come in royal blue, saffron yellow, bright coral and off-white (although I didn't see the coral color offered on Amazon and had to call the maker, Cocoon Design Salt, to get them). The off-white ones are a little bit see-through, so I opted for blue and coral.
If anyone is looking for the perfect gift for someone who travels and who has everything, this is it.

A quick return, June 28, 2009
I bought these for a birthday present and was sadly disappointed (as was the birthday girl) They are cut like hospital scrubs and had a very stiff feel to them. The seams were also exposed and rough. They did come in a cute bag according to my wife, but she had me return these as soon as she took them out of the bag.

Nothing Fancy, May 29, 2009
It seems to be nice as far as silk goes, but I was surprised about the plain look. It is nothing fancy. It had little pieces of thread that needed to be cut. But it seems to wear and wash well. Also, it can be condensed to a small and light size for travel.
