FAQs

Can I machine wash the silk liner?

It is strongly recommended to hand wash the silk liner in cool water with a mild silk detergent. Machine washing, especially on a regular cycle, can damage the delicate silk fibers.

How much extra warmth does the liner provide?

The Sea to Summit Silk Liner typically adds around 5-10°F (3-5°C) to the comfort rating of your sleeping bag, depending on the bag's original rating and the conditions.

Is the silk liner suitable for very hot and humid climates?

Yes, silk is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, making it comfortable to use on its own in hot climates where a sleeping bag would be too warm.

What is the weight of the silk liner?

The liner is very lightweight, typically weighing around 100-150 grams, making it an easy addition to any backpack.

How should I store the liner when not in use?

Ensure the liner is completely clean and dry before storing. Store it loosely in its stuff sack or a breathable bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Can children use the silk liner?

Yes, the silk liner is suitable for children, providing added comfort and warmth to their sleeping arrangements.

Troubleshooting

Liner feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you are using it correctly within your sleeping bag. The liner should not be overly stretched. If used alone, ensure adequate space for movement.

Silk has lost some of its sheen

This can be a natural effect of washing or prolonged use. Gentle washing with silk-specific detergent and avoiding harsh drying methods can help maintain its appearance.

Liner seems less warm than expected

The liner adds a few degrees of warmth. It is designed to supplement a sleeping bag, not replace its primary insulation. Ensure it is used in conjunction with an appropriate sleeping bag for the conditions.
