I've just ordered one of those
Order the double size - single is too small unless you are a child!FYI, the above liners (Falcons post) made in Vietnam are smaller than the Sea to Summit and the pillow case is small too. But a heck of lot cheaper for sure!
I read your advice too late to change my order so ended up with the 'regular' size . I thought i would give it to one of my grand-children if too small and order again but.... It's fine ! Phew! And lovely colour, washed well as you said... Very happy with it as it is sooooooo much cheaper than the ones sold in London
Phillypilgrim I have you to blame and this forum...have just bought the Montbell DTS as above (on an ultralight UK site) had to get a bag as the Mummy one I used before drove me mad. I had bought an envelope silk liner last year so now have both weighing in under 600g...will let everyone know how they are used on the VdeLPlata this April.I used a silk liner with built in pillow case (Sea to Summit) AND a down "liner" that unzips (Montbell Down Thermal sheet), together they weigh nothing.
But, as far as Sillydoll's description, ignorance is bliss.
We will be starting our walk at SJPDP on the 19th of May, my husband is tempted to take only a liner and no sleeping bag! Do you know if most of the albergues provide blankets? Would this be a wise move or not? I'm definately taking a sleeping bag but wonder if a liner is also necessary? Are pillows provided at the albergues and should we take pillow cases? Help please.
Thanks everyone,
Lyndie Lou
I'd love to hear how this worked out for you.Phillypilgrim I have you to blame and this forum...have just bought the Montbell DTS as above (on an ultralight UK site) had to get a bag as the Mummy one I used before drove me mad.

Was you large size pure silk?They have a LARGE size. I just ordered one. It measures 220 cm long by 95 cm wide. It is definitely larger than the standard size. It cost USD 11.99 plus USD 8.99 postage to anywhere in the world. We will see what results.
The double size is IMHO too large for a single person and too small for two normal sized people - unless you are very intimate...
Thanks for the lead. I will report back once I receive mine.

Thanks so, much. It certainly helps my husband is also 60+!! carolYes it was. However, it was very difficult to get into and out of as it only had a partial opening at the top. Being a 60-something male, I need to use the toilet every 2-3 hours. So, after the second night enduring wriggling into and out of my silk liner, it was donated at Roncesvalles.
When I got to Pamplona, I found an Altus 600 gm mummy bag with a full-zip at El Corte Ingles. All was fine after that. The Altus bag is smaller and lighter than my 880 gm SnugPak "Traveller" bag from last year, and just as comfortable. I am a cold sleeper, so I tend to have any bag open to my waist in all but the coolest temperatures.
I hope this helps.
