A good idea . . . or not

What do we think of this

I think it could be either quite cosy or unbelievably clingy.

Does anybody want to take the plunge and try one out?

I'd barely posted the above when my daughter came back at me with this:

which I thought was a joke at first but am now (sadly) quite attracted by:


Seems quite popular with Russians!

Isn't the first one just like a sleeping bag liner? And are you planning to sleep outdoors?

No no and no thanks. Both of those would give me claustrophobia! (I can do small spaces no problem, what I can't do is clingy things on my body so can't move/toss and turn).

Those look like they toss and turn with you.

I kind of like the first one! I use a silk liner right now both on the Camino (usually only it) and inside a sleeping bag in colder North American climates. I love the extra warmth and options it gives me. Only the liner vs liner and bag or just the bag.....
I'm thinking about getting this and trying it out here my home.....

x2. It would be a night of a thousand cuts for me too.

I use a polyester fleece liner on the inside and a shell (of unknown material) on the outside. my sleeping bags are cheap and have a temperature rating that leaves much to be desired ... true, the fleece liner is heavy and bulky but - it gets the job done ...

Getting to the toilet 4-6 times each night is tough enough as it is. This would be torture...

Sorry, the post was rather tongue in cheek and arose from my daughter's yearly quest of what to buy me for Christmas (already).
Personally I'm going with private rooms and hostales next time - like @t2andrio said this could be "inconvenient".

400g - not lightweight for a liner
