Coocoon Sleeping Bag Liner

I recently spent a month on a ranch near San Antonio, TX and slept every night in a sleeping bag. While the experience wasn’t quite camping, it was similar in many ways. My days were full of intense physical activities ranging from plowing to painting and construction. I wasn’t showering regularly because the water system on the ranch was being renovated and I wasn’t always changing clothes either.

With so much time being spent in a dirty space and with my own personal hygiene set a step below the norm, I didn’t want my bed to turn into an ant farm and I didn’t want to ruin my sleeping bag. Now enter the Cocoon Mummy Liner made of 100% soft, easy to clean cotton. This tapered sleeping bag liner is extremely light weight and fits inside your normal sleeping bag to separate your grime from your nice bag.

For just $30 this liner can significantly reduce the need to wash your sleeping bag which will greatly extend its life. It also adds insulation and comfort with the label suggesting a 2.9 to 5.3 Fahrenheit improvement! If it’s an especially warm night (which I encountered a couple times) you can just use the liner as your bag and sleep on top of your regular sleeping bag for padding.

Cocoons can be bought at REI and other equivalent stores and come in a number of different materials such as silk, silk cotton, silk cotton seacell, Egyptian cotton, coolmax, cotton flannel and just regular old cotton (which is what I used). Check them out at www.cocoonusa.com or www.cocoon.at.
