SEA TO SUMMIT 100% PREMIUM SILK LINER
November 10, 2012
TESTER INFORMATION
I have a great appreciation for the outdoors and get out at every opportunity. I am a three-season backpacker and year round hiker. Currently, my trips are two to three days long as well as an annual week-long trip. I utilize the abundant trail shelters in my locale and pack a backup tarp-tent. I like to cover big distances while still taking in the views. I have lightweight leanings but function and reliability are the priority. I mostly travel woodland mountain terrain but enjoy hiking beautiful trails anywhere. PRODUCT INFORMATION
Manufacturer: Sea To Summit FIELD USE
I have used the Sea to Summit Silk Liner for two seasons now. I purchased it to increase the temperature rating of my sleeping bag. The bag is rated for 40 F (4 C). Sea to Summit says the Liner can provide an additional 10 F (6 C) of warmth. SUMMARY
The Sea to Summit Silk Liner gives my sleeping system a greater temperature range. While at the same time helping to keep the inside of my sleeping bag clean. Any oils, sweat or grime make contact with the Liner and not my sleeping bag. This will hopefully minimize the number of times I wash my bag and extend its life. I have yet to wash the Liner. There are no visible signs of dirt or any detectable odors thus far. The only sign of wear is "pulling" in the weave of the fibers. They are not holes but more like snags. The wear is very hard to see. It is only noticeable when holding one sheet of the Liner to the light at certain angles. Before buying the Liner I read about silks thermal properties. At the time of purchase I was still skeptical, it seemed too thin and light. The Sea to Summit Silk Liner has removed any doubts. I have been pleased with the Liner since the first night of use.
