1.0 out of 5 stars You may get tangled in this bag while sleeping and... October 7, 2007

By GreatStuffNow

Color Name:Navy Blue| Size Name:Single|Amazon Verified Purchase

I am a small-frame woman who does not toss and turn in bed. I used this bag on vacation for a week and hated it. I kept getting tangled up in it when I rolled over. Plus, all the hems work lose after using it for a week. Very poor quality stitching and fabric, and not comfortable to sleep in.

And the storage bag that attaches to it connects to the middle of the bag and can't be removed. So you get that in your back too during the night.

I DON'T recommend.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too narrow July 12, 2007

By ilovetahoe

Color Name:Navy Blue| Size Name:Single|Amazon Verified Purchase

I used this sleepsack in Africa, in places where I really didn't want my body touching the mattress, and I found it difficult to sleep in the sack without getting twisted up in it. It is very narrow and open on one side (to get in and out of), so if you move around at all while you sleep, it's easy to find yourself partially outside of the sleep sack at some point during the night (I think the woman they show in the picture must be especially short and small since it appears much roomier than it actually is). I think you can get better value for the money. Advantages: it folds up small and is easy to transport. Cons: the silk doesn't appear to be great quality, and it is hard to get in and out of and restricts movement while sleeping.

3.0 out of 5 stars Silk Sleeping Bag liner May 15, 2007

By D. Joy

Color Name:Navy Blue|Size Name:Single

This product feels great against your skin and is light as a feather, but for "rambunctious" sleepers like my husband, it doesn't hold up. After 3 weeks of use it was ripped down the side. I was able to repair that, but after 6 weeks of use, it is totally destroyed, ripped into several pieces. If you are the type of person who pretty much wakes up in the same position you fell asleep in, then this is a great product, otherwise I would give it a pass.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful sleep surface feel September 22, 2008

By jeanette VINE™ VOICE

Color Name:Navy Blue| Size Name:Single|Amazon Verified Purchase

extremely light-weight silk sleep sack with attached stuff sack & pillow slot. the silk fabric feels just wonderful against your skin. it is soft without being slidey like some silks. indeed, as i have seen mentioned in other reviews, this is not the most durable product & it does turn over with you at times.

the first problem is, of course, associated with the weight - less materials equals less weight, but also equals less durability. over time, it develops stretch marks & starts to fall apart along those lines. i actually sleep in it at home all the time, so the durability thing needs to be understood in that context.

the second problem happens with nighties or other sleep sacks as well - in short with any tube in your bed or sleeping bag not tacked down at the sides. you can tack it down by using safety pins through the stuff sack & some of the attached ties to whatever is handy - the mattress, the sleeping bag, etc. - if you are so inclined.

despite these two problems, i still love this product & am preparing to purchase my third one since i have not found anything comparable that i like better. i like to use it when i travel to keep myself cocooned in this most luxurious feeling fabric regardless of the state of the sheets or blankets i am offered. i use it pulled up to my waist over all my clothes, anytime i will be sitting outdoors when it is cold. at hostels, i use it as a sarong to keep myself decent on the way to the showers. it air dries quite quickly after being washed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice product with a couple of wants June 21, 2007

By Mr. Inspector

Color Name:Navy Blue|Size Name:Single

This is a nice, economically-priced product that is small and light enough that I will probably always carry it with me on backpacking outings. Based on my very un-scientific experiments, I would say it indeed adds the 10 degrees it claims to bag warmth.

It is a bit of a hassle to get into the silk sack inside of a sleeping bag, but that's probably the normal case unless your liner was made specifically for your bag. I do wish it had a better system for closing up the sides (you have to tie it shut). I will probably sew buttons on instead, or maybe completely sew one side shut and sew buttons on the other.

I am 6'0", 170 lbs, and it slightly bigger than it needs to be for my frame/sleeping bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars worth every penny July 27, 2007

By mishe

Color Name:Navy Blue|Size Name:Single

i bought one of these sleep sacks for a camping trip i was going on and it was one of the best purchases that i have ever made. just as described, it kept my sleeping bag super warm all night. I also bought one of their ultralight hammocks for the trip and on nights that weren't to chilly i was able to sleep in the hammock with only the sleep sack and slept the whole night through. There is even a pocket in the silk sleep sack to put a pillow. i was very pleased with this products performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very comfortable sheet, possibly too slippery to be a safety travel sheet January 11, 2010

By Balph Eubank

Color Name:Navy Blue| Size Name:Single|Amazon Verified Purchase

As other reviews have stated, this sheet is soft and very comfortable. It is also very small and lightweight (good for backpacking). It holds the heat in a little better than I thought it would, if anything though the fabric errors on the side of not being "breathable" enough. To put it another way, you don't want this thing near your skin while trying to sleep on a hot night.

I have so far only used this sheet for one trip (14 nights in central America). For the purpose of sleeping at hostels or hotels where you are not confident in the bed's hygiene I can only give my own experience which is that this sheet didn't work. I believe this was a combination of the sheet being slippery and I being tall (6'4"). Regardless of your height though, you will need to safety pin the corners if you want a chance of protection from the mattress, but for me I often found myself waking up with my face on the mattress. I don't think I'm a particularly restless sleeper. If I had it to do over I'd try to find one without tie-straps that also isn't so slippery. Impossible to beat the small size & weight, and this sheet is very comfortable (and for those wondering, no I did not get ticks/bed bugs/fleas)!
