Product Description : A Travel Sheet is an extremely lightweight and roomy sleep sack or sleeping bag liner. These versatile sheets are excellent as a warm weather sleeping bag or a rectangular sleeping bag liner. Compact and lightweight, Travel Sheets are ideal to bring to hotels, youth hostels, alpine huts, boats, planes, trains, or anywhere else you might travel. Our high quality silk is the optimum fabric for minimizing packing size and weight. Silk is soft against your skin and responds well to changing temperatures - it feels cool in the summer and is warm in the winter. Travel Sheets made of silk are easy to hand or machine wash and dry quickly. I took this sheet with me to India and used it everywhere from a hotel in Calcutta to an ashram to an overnight train. It provides just enough cover to make you feel comfortable whatever the temperature. I used it alone when it was warm and in combination with a lightweight travel blanket on the few evenings when it was chilly, and it worked perfectly. Easy to wash and dry, and very lightweight. My only complaint is that it moved around a lot, so it was not always easy to find the way in and out. A great product overall, though. I purchased this product for a trip to Europe where the accommodations were somewhat questionable. I am extremely satisfied with this product and glad I chose it over similar more expensive products. I looked at several others that were twice the price, and I can't imagine that they are any softer than this one. This product is extremely lightweight and compact. It comes with a great compression sack and easily fits in a small bag. I threw it in my purse and used it on the airplane; I spent seven very comfortable hours flying over the Atlantic!!!!! The silk is very good quality and makes every night seem like a night in a five star hotel. Since I have returned from my travels, I have used this product at home...yes It's that nice!!!!! I recently did some hut to hut hiking in Switzerland with a cheap nylon liner, and wanted to get a good silk liner for future trips. Plus, I wanted to keep the inside of my sleeping bag clean during regular camping trips. This bag was a disappointment. The "pillow pocket" is only about 8 inches deep, so it does not cover the pillow to serve as a pillowcase, which is required at huts and at hostels that require you to provide your own liner. At best, the pocket might keep your pillow from sliding away from you. Inside a slippery sleeping bag, this liner moves around with you and if you change your position during the night, it will tend to get twisted up around you. This is made worse by the large side opening on the liner, which is nice for entry, but not for warmth on a cold night, and the top flap ends up wadded up somewhere uncomfortable. There is a bit of velcro which is supposed to hold the top flap in place, but it attaches in a weird place inside the pillow pocket, which makes it hard to find in light, and impossible in the middle of the night. If you do manage to get the velcro attached, then the top flap would be way up over you head. When the velcro on the flap isn't stuck to its mating piece, it is usually busy snagging the silk fabric (this silk is not ripstop - only the Cocoon product numbers with the -RS suffix are ripstop). I used the liner in a regular bed, and is isn't so bad, so it would be okay for hostel use except that it doesn't cover the pillow. It seems well stitched, and does add a bit of warmth, if you can keep it in place. Oh, and it is extremely difficult to fold it and get it back into its stuff sack. It is easier to just start stuffing it directly into the sack, but it will be ridiculously wrinkled when you take it back out. Can't recommend.
