Why not use something heavier than cotton flannel then ? I mean lightest of all is (sorry, just what comes to me)I'm looking for suggestions on the lightest sleep "sac" I can use on the Camino.
1. I never get cold at night (if cold, I wear extra clothes).
2. I never walk the Camino in winter.
3. Right now, I use a flannel sheet folded in half and sewn at the bottom and even that is too heavy.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
I used silk liner bought in Decathlon with blanket provided by albergue when needed. Adequate for fine weather Camino. For me not enough late October (days leading into Salamanca) or in April from Salamanca to Santiago on colder nightsI'm looking for suggestions on the lightest sleep "sac" I can use on the Camino.

I have been taking a thin silk sleeping bag liner only for years. It is ultra light.I'm looking for suggestions on the lightest sleep "sac" I can use on the Camino.

I have the rectangular one weighs 154 grams not used it yet on Camino but i have in a home test.The Lifeventure silk sleeping bag liner is hard to beat for weight, durability and price.
Silk liners are very lightweight; they are also quite slick and can be confining if you don't open up one of the side seams.
I have the same one, and just love it! Even in the summer, some albergues get really cold at night. Having a good night of sleep is a must to recover and have another wonderful fun in the Camino.I used the Sea to Summit Traveller Tr1 lightweight sleeping bag. It weighs less than a pound (450g) and has a draw string rather than closed bottom. It cost about $250 Cdn from MEC and worked perfectly on the Via last March/April. I was amazed at how much heat it generated/retained and I never overheated. I have used a liner on the French and Porto in September/October but this is lighter and I will use it on all Caminos, even in the summer, because it can open up into a light sheet.

What brand is it? Sounds very light for a sleeping bag.I have one that's about 250g and stuffs down to nothing. It has a down filling and is excellent.
Same. I have a double one. Very nice.My silk liner is quite roomy and doesn't feel confining - it doesn’t have side zips or anything. Make sure you check the size before buying. I imagine not al liners are equal.
Do you ever machine wash yours? Website says hand wash or gentle cycleI have been taking a thin silk sleeping bag liner only for years. It is ultra light.
I prefer the double size as easier to get in and out of.
It is called Silksak.
I machine wash it in front loader on gentle and slow spin. No problem. Have had the sac for 8 years and use it more or less every year for 6 weeks. It has lasted really well.Do you ever machine wash yours? Website says hand wash or gentle cycle
I have the Silk Sak one..Your posts convinced me. I just ordered the Sea to Summit Traveler for my wife for the Mozarabe in February. Buen Camino.
Yes, please share!I made my own silk sleep sack - nice and wide with a zipper part way down one side. I also added elastic straps to keep it on the mattress instead of twisting around my body.
I'm happy to share how I made it and the materials I used for anyone who is interested.
I swear by mine, bought in Australia BUT I did not get on with the ‘drawstring’ bottom end and hand stitched it to give me a straight end and giving me more toe space. Please note that it is available in different LENGTHS...Your posts convinced me. I just ordered the Sea to Summit Traveler for my wife for the Mozarabe in February. Buen Camino.

It's basically just sewing a rectangle with a zipper, but I added elastic cord straps to keep it on the mattress while I sleep.Yes, please share!
