No-one has said anything about how this works as a sleeping bag liner to add warmth to the bag. Has anyone tried this? Does it add noticable warmth?

I have used it stand-alone and with a sleeping bag. I really love the feel of silk against bare skin, and it adds some warmth without making me overheat. It packs down really small, so you can easily carry it along with your typical 30 degree bag without much extra weight or space.

I love my cocoon silk sack. I am currently using it in my track through Greece and it is amazing. It keeps you fairly warm and packs up into a very small space. I really enjoy it. It has a part where you can put a pillow or your head. I highly recommend this product!

It has attached pillow cover which is great for sleep over! it keeps warmth and coolness, which means very pleasant feeling or perfect temperature for the sleep. It rolls up to a tiny bag very handy. I will buy more for my family!

I use it as a sleeping bag liner. It keeps my bag clean and allows me to layer for comfort. It adds warmth just like silk long under wear add warmth.

it does add warmth. I am not thrilled with the opening, I use without sleeping bag...it maybe fine with a sleeping bag. the picture makes the opening look so much easier and "neat" than is reality

I bought the outfit for my husband for the 2013/2014 hunting season and I asked him if it was warm and he said no. However I thought I should mention he did say that it seems to work and do the job it promises to do. Hope this helps you.

I slept in it @ 12 with another bag over it and it perfomed fine, the coldest i went with the bag by itself was around 24 and i did get a little chilled, but not cold by any means. Keeps you very warm around 30. With any bag you buy, its always a good rule of thumb to use 10 under your climate. ie- if you're going to be camping when it's mostly 40 outside, buy a 30 bag. Sometimes a good fleece sleeping bag liner helps as well.

I have heard that you should put aluminum foil on the ground before putting your sleeping bag over it. What it does it reflects your body heat instead off letting the cold ground absorb it but I would use a non perforated one as the perforated ones should be used on the roof to let moisture escape. I don't think you would want moisture from the ground to enter your home.

It is a sheet that is closed in, I would say no you can't do that however if you want to try it let me know how it works out. We used it as a top sheet, because we had the sleeping bag we used this to cover up.

Yes, it is quite compact especially if you get a compression sack for it as I did. I also used a light insert liner--with the two I was warm enough when the temperature dropped to freezing.

I put the black sleeping bag that is part of a military modular system in it. It works perfectly for that one bag by itself. You couldn't put a green "army" sleeping bag in it. Hope this helps.

Yes, this sleeping bag will unzip all the way. It makes a nice and warm blanket or comforter. I should note however, there is an attached piece of fabric at the end which is the storage bag for it. That is sewed on and not removable unless you take it off yourself by cutting or pulling the seam (it will not affect the sleeping bag). I left it on when I used this as a blanket and was never bothered by it. The attached piece makes for easy storage.

I don't own this bag but am considering buying for my 14 year old. I have many years of outdoor experience and temp ratings on bags are kinda like person ratings on tents...they don't quite hold true. For camping at those temps my suggestion is for you to put a light weight fleece sleeping bag inside it and you'll be comfy cozy on even the coldest of nights. Just saw some Coleman brand fleece bags on Amazon for about $20. This solution gives you more flexibility with the temp range of the bag because you can remove it for sleeping in warmer temps.

I have not noticed any additional warmth...it feels very comfortable & recommend them.

No, it doesn't have any features like that. I use my fleece liner as my bag, and my sleeping bag as my blanket, so it's not a problem for me!

Its made with a heavy cotton like outer so it would absorb a significant amount of water if it got wet. This bag is awesome but is a thick heavy beast so drying it out if it got very wet would take quite some time. These are just guesses based on how the bag feels but id keep it dry....... who wants to sleep in a wet bag any way? By the way when they say -25 degreese i think they mean it, this thing is freakin warm! :) i am also very pleased with the construction of the bag. Highly recomended. If you dont plan to be in arctic temps i would lean toward buying the zero degree version of this bag instead. Did i mention thus bag is warm? Luke

This sleeping bag is one of the thickness I've ever had for it's weather/temp ratings. Yes, it's much thicker than it looks but I would always suggest a base surface mat or pad to place the sleeping bag on if at all possible. If you're trying to travel light and therefore don't want the extra weight of a mat to carry, then I would recommend a different sleeping bag entirely. However, that type of sleeping bag is in the high-end category and you'd better be ready for the prices you'll be dealing with. ;)

Yes, I did and found it a marginal product, however, I live in south Texas and it gets SUPER hot here and I think I decided on a combination of some kind of regular frozen pad and a fan. Maybe the product would be ok where you live. It just did not feel cool enough to make a difference. Good luck.

I read the care tag attached to the sleeping bag but I ended up throwing it in the washer on delicate then used the dryer on gentle heat. Did not lose any warmth properties.

I have not tried it heated. I usually like the pack cold because I have back problems and this reduces inflammation. I am sorry I could not help, however, I think I will try it later on today and let you know how the pac is heated.

I was not able to notice if it was a good insulator as the time of year was not very cold. I also have a -10 degree bag so it really did not allow for the pad to do its job. I would have to say that it would make a good insulator though as the main source of cushion is air, and it holds it well.
