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

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.

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

By 

mishe (IL, USA) - See all my reviews

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

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)!
