COCOONPremium TravelSheet - Silk Ripstop Rectangular Sleeping Bag Liner for Adults

Very lightweight, lots of airflow, really nice feeling. I was worried silk would catch on the rough patches on my heels (world traveler problems) but not at all! It was like a sheet so light I could hardly feel it. I also had no problem rolling it back up into the pouch. Just fold it in half foot to head, and then again and again until it is the width of the bag, then fold the long skinny rectangle lengthwise in half, then roll it length wise tightly. This is how it comes packaged, just pay attention when you take it out. (It's not a stuff sack, you have to fold it.) The Leaves pattern is very beautiful, but the color depiction is not accurate. It is much more green than blue. This didn't bother me, and I didn't notice until I saw the picture again.There is a fold over the back that you can tuck a pillow in. Drool stains show up. There is a bit of velcro to close the more open side of the sack, I fastened it before falling asleep but it was unfastened when I woke up, and sort of stuck to the seam, causing some pulls in the material when I un-stuck it. I may find a small piece of velcro to cover the 'sticky' side of the velcro and not bother securing it anymore, didn't seem to make much difference. I didn't get tangled in it at all while I slept, I think it's 'slippery' enough that you toss and turn inside it without it tossing and turning with you!Overall, I highly recommend to anyone that will be traveling to some place hot and with questionable sleeping arrangements.

Important update: As another reviewer noted, I was using the liner inside-out, so my comments below about it not holding a pillow fully don't really apply. Still, I wouldn't recommend it.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.

This thing was great. It got me through a couple 12-hour overnight train rides in India (where I thought the sleeping compartments might be a bit dicey, but actually weren't too bad) and through 2 weeks at a hotel where it was pretty warm. I ended up sleeping with just this sleepsack most nights and it was wonderful. Just enough to cover me, but not make me hot. I even hauled it out to the deck in the mornings and wrapped it around myself while I did my morning "quiet time." I high recommend it. Was pretty durable (I wasn't hard on it, and it held up just fine), the opening was plenty big for me to get in and out of conveniently, even in limited space (I'm 5'5" and about 150 lbs.). And the velcro closure is fine. Not my favorite, but it didn't catch on everything, so didn't bother me. As for returning the sleep sack to it's little drawstring carrier -- when I had time and space, I'd fold it, and it fit great. But on the train (both directions), I just shoved it back into the container/holder. It's a snug fit, I'm not gonna lie, but totally do-able. I'm very happy with my purchase, and recommended it to a couple of my travel companions!

Firstly I want to say that Backcountry did a great job. The manufacturer though...I don't know what they are thinking-the opening on one side of the bag...it's half the length of the bag at least. They have a great reason for this opening, to make getting in and out easier. But for me it's a big negative. The velcro to keep this side of bag closed is a joke. It's a tiny tab of velcro, which even if I could find the other piece of velcro, which I often can't, doesn't do anything, frequently coming loose.Sorry, I'm giving Cocoon a break giving this three stars. I've lived with this bag for about a month just to see if maybe my first impressions were wrong.I camp a bit, sometimes in hammocks, sometimes in tents, and travel a lot, so with this sort of bag, or a sleeping bag, there is an easy way to get in, you sort of stand in the bag, pull it up to your neck, and lie into your sleeping area. Pretty easy. I don't need to compromise the whole point of a cocoon shaped sleeping bag by leaving one side half way open.My sleeping bag manufacturer, they have a great idea, they used elastic to form the panels of my sleeping bag. So when getting into the bag, or when you need to move around a bit, during the night, you can. The elastic stretches. So there are ways to give people a bit more flexibility.I suspect that the design people at Cocoon think this design is a great step forward, I, as a customer, don’t agree. Sorry.

Wir haben parallel einen Montoza und einen Cocoon Travelsheet Silk bestellt, den Montoza für meine Frau und den Cocoon in extra-lang für mich.Der Cocoon ist doppel so teuer (95,90 vs. 44,90) und nicht halb so gut gemacht. Er hat nur einen einzigen, kleinen Klettverschluss, der einfach auf den Stoff genäht ist. Der Montoza hat vier Verschlüsse, die jeweils doppelt so groß sind und auf verstärkten Stoff genäht sind.Die Kissentasche vom Cocoon ist schlicht und so breit, dass das Kissen nicht drin bleibt. Der Montoza hat die Kissentaschen unten verschmälert, so dass das Kissen gegen herausrutschen gesichert ist.Die Nähte insgesamt sind beim Cocoon o.k.. beim Montoza aber deutlich glatter und sauberer.Einziger Pluspunkt vom Cocoon: er hat an der Einstieg ein Stoffdreieck eingenäht, sodass man beim Einsteigen nicht an der Naht zerrt. Beim Montoza ist die Naht aber mit einem zusätzlichen Stück Stoff gesichert und damit ebenso haltbar.

Über die Materialqualität ist es ohne Materialtest schwierig zu urteilen. Es scheint aber tatsächlich ein Seidenstoff zu sein.2 x Waschen in der Maschine im Wollprogramm hat zumindest keine Farbe verloren (grüne Version).Was mich jedoch völlig stört ist der Schnitt. Ganz eigenartiger Zuschnitt mit Kissenfach oben und seitlichen Einstieg. Dennoch nur bis zur Hälfte der Länge an den Seiten zugenäht bzw. mit völlig unpraktischen Klettverschluss am oberen Ende.Ein einfacher rechteckiger Zuschnitt mit einer Öffnung an der Oberseite und evt. Reißverschluss an der Seite wäre um Längen praktischer und nutzungsfreundlicher gewesen. Dann hätte man das Ding auch zur Not einfach als rechteckige (Zu)Decke genommen. So aber verhakelt sich alles permanent beim nächtlichen Umdrehen.

Ich dachte, ich tu mal was nettes für mich und bezahle die 10 Euro mehr für eine Farbkombination, die ich liebe (dieses Kobaltblau mit silbernem Muster). Anstelle dessen habe ich ein ausgewaschen aussehendes graublaues Etwas mit gelblichem Muster erhalten. Das ärgert mich immer so, besonders, weil ich das zurückschicken musste, und mir dann ein anderes Modell gekauft habe (das rote, wo die Farbe dann auch gestimmt hat). So viel verschwenderisch ausgesetztes CO2 wegen falscher Farbabbildungen...

Ich habe mir den "Schlafsack" für meinen Jakobsweg gekauft und dies auch nicht bereut. Da man jeden Abend in einer anderen Herberge übernachtet, ist es schön und vor allem hygienischer in seinem eigenen Bettzeug zu schlafen. Ich habe mich Abends hinein gemummelt und teilweise nicht einmal eine zusätzliche Decke gebraucht, da er ausreichend gewärmt hat. Er ist gut verarbeitet und zeigt nach 6 Wochen und 900 Kilometern keinerlei Beschädigungen. Das einzige Manko für mich ist die Etwas klein geratene Hülle in der das Teil verpackt ist. Es ist mühsam am Morgen den Schlafsack wieder hinein zu bekommen.Ansonsten aber für meine Zwecke die volle Kaufempfehlung.

Dieser Seiden-Schlafsack ist genau wie gehofft: hauchzart und echte Seide. Dadurch trocknet er sehr schnell und kann auf Reisen in heissen Ländern jede Nacht schnell gewaschen werden und man liegt immer in frischer Seidenwäsche. Durch die dünne Seidenqualität ist das Packmaß extrem klein. Ich nehme den Seidenschlafsack manchmal auch bei Radausflügen als Liegetuch mit (weil er so klein ist und in jede Tasche passt).
