In warmen Gebieten als Schlafsack genutzt, im Schlafsack um den Schweiß abzufangen oder um ein wenig mehr Wärme zu haben. Dieses Inlet ist unglaublich praktisch und fühlt sich sehr angenehm auf der Haut an.

The Cocoon Expedition liner is a ripstop silk liner that is designed to go around you before you get into your sleeping bag. Before buying this, I had not used a sleeping bag liner before so I cannot speak to past experiences, but I ended up buying this because I went from a synthetic to a down sleeping bag and wanted to minimise washing of the sleeping bag to preserve the loft of the down.The liner is mummy shaped and very spacious, with no zips or openings down the side so you must get in from the top. Some people consider this a disadvantage, but I do not mind it although I can see how adding a method to open it and enter from the side would be very beneficial. There is a cord to cinch the hood/neck area, and the red stuff sack is sewn onto the front face of the liner so you will never lose it. The liner itself is pretty thin and is actually somewhat transparent, so do not expect the liner to add warmth to your sleeping bag. I did not buy it for this purpose so this factor did not affect my purchase decision. If you wish to add additional warmth to your sleeping bag, this will not be the product for you.The silk feels great and smooth, and in my time using it (2-3 months) I have not experienced any holes or loose threads appearing. Build quality feels really great but because it is so thin I try not to catch it on anything sharp, and I haven't done so yet so I can't report about how "ripstop" it actually is. I used the liner while travelling in Nepal trekking, and it did a fantastic job of keeping my sleeping bag relatively clean. While my sleeping bag did end up smelling a little bad from not showering at all while trekking, the sleeping bag liner smelled a lot worse and I took that to mean that it was actually doing its job. It was also nice having the silky feeling against my bed when I went to sleep. The smoothness of the silk however means that if you tend to roll around inside your sleeping bag a lot when you sleep, you and the liner will roll but your sleeping bag probably will not. I don't know if this is a con or not but it is something to be aware of. The hood was great and the cord cinches down really well, but because you have to constrict through a lot of cord to get it tight around your head, you end up with a massive length of cord that can be a bit annoying if you don't push it outside the liner. Because there is no side access, once you cinch the hood/neck cord it becomes very difficult to move around.The addition of the stuff sack sewed to the front of the liner is also fantastic. In areas where I wanted some extra personal security, such as watching out for my wallet or passport, I could store both of them inside the stuff sack so they would be within my sleeping bag when I slept. You can also keep any other small items you may need in the stuff sack, for example a torch, or batteries to stop them getting killed by extreme cold.In terms of sizing, I am about 183 cm tall (6 foot?) and can fit in the "Regular" size with plenty of room and extra cloth to spare. If you have a tight sleeping bag, the sizing doesn't really matter because the material is so thin and pliable that it will just fill up any spaces that aren't already filled in your sleeping bag.In summary:Pros:- Maintains cleanliness of sleeping bag- Integrated stuff sack lets you store things inside your sleeping bag- Good build quality, seems durable although best not to put it to any hard tests- Hood cinches up really tightCons:- Not for people who are looking to add warmth to their sleeping bagIf this liner was damaged/lost/stolen, I would probably buy it again. I only say probably because I am not entirely aware of the rest of the sleeping bag liner market but as far as my experiences go, this is a great product.
