SilkSak Silk Sleeping Bag Liners at EquipOutdoors

A TRAVEL ESSENTIAL - When travelling in warm climates SilkSaks are the perfect lightweight alternative to a regular sleeping bag. You'll feel cool and comfy as your SilkSak keeps your skin dry and your temperature down. It keeps biting insects out, stuffs into a small pouch for lightweight packing and dries very quickly when washed.

THE WARMEST SLEEPING BAG LINER - Your SilkSak works with you to keep your body temperature even. The 100% natural silk fabric provides a protective layer that increases the warmth of your sleeping bag by trapping warm air next to the body. It also extends the life of your sleeping bag by keeping it clean inside. The smooth fabric of SilkSaks helps to reduce unpleasant tangles in the night too!

How do I care for my SilkSak?

EASY CARE WASHING GUIDELINES

  • Turn your SilkSak inside out and wash gently by hand or machine
  • Cool to warm temperatures are best. Do not overheat with a hot-water wash or hot iron.
  • Use a mild detergent, such as a wool wash. We recommend the Ecostore wool wash. There’s no need for harsh chemicals such as strong washing powders or bleach. These contain brighteners and whiteners that can damage the silk fibre.
  • Rinse well. Squeeze or gentle spin excess water. Do not wring.
  • Line dry or hang inside out of direct sunlight. No tumble driers required. It doesn’t take long!
  • Cool iron only (set iron to delicate or wool setting)

Allow 5% shrinkage

DO NOT

  • Do not rub a stain. This causes fading
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Do not dry in direct sunlight, sun fades garments
  • Do not use washing powders or stain remover, these can strip the colour & make the fabric ‘chalky’ to touch

TIPS & TRICKS

  • To refresh your SilkSak, soak overnight in a bucket of cool to lukewarm water with a half-cup of white vinegar added. The vinegar neutralises the alkaline build up left by sweat and washing powders. Rinse and line dry or wash as normal.

What’s that smell?

The natural gum that binds the silk cocoon together is called sericin. Sericin is believed to be beneficial to the health of your skin, much like the lanolin in wool, as it contains many essential amino acids. The sericin is also responsible for the natural fragrance of silk fabrics, which will subside after several washes.
