[QUOTE="Jarrad, post: 1178286, member: 87022"] I too prefer the Sea-to-Summit (StS) liners. This summer I replaced an older model StS silk-poly blend liner that was lost in a bag transfer on the TMB. That one served me well on the CdF and numerous other treks. Last month I bought the Silk-Cotton Blend Travel Liner to use in a remote camp in northern Alaska (no kidding). Wild temp swings with several hot nights and I did not have a problem with it holding moisture or developing a smell. The Silk-Cotton Blend model is, oddly, 1.3 oz lighter than their all-silk liner and about half the price. Comfort was good -- not rough like some liners I've used in the past and I will bring it on my next camino. But I have to admit, I would like to try out the all-silk model. I occasionally use an StS Reactor liner for backcountry backpacking, but would not bring one on a camino. I prefer the more rectangular shape of the StS travel liners for a camino or similar trek because I much prefer the room. I have used a light (40-degree) down mummy bag on the camino. It was very nice to have when chilly, but honestly I could have gotten by without it at most every albergue (I have stayed in a couple that had nothing more than a sheet). And I did not love the mummy shape constraining my (sore) legs, so I often unzipped it as much as I could and used it like an extra blanket. An all-cotton travel liner will be heavier (about one pound), but can be a nice option if cost is a concern (about $30 US compared to $100-180 for an StS liners). I do use an all-cotton liner for camping and travel to remote locations. I need to air it out regularly in the a.m. or it will develop a moldy aroma after a couple of days. Even with regular airings, I need to clean it after 6-7 nights (not a bad thing if you can access a washer/dryer). Still, since you are struggling with pack weight, keep in mind that a cotton travel liner will be 3 to 4x as heavy as an StS liner. 10 days to go -- Buen Camino! [/QUOTE]
