Terre Vista Trails - Silk Sleeping Bag Liner Specialists

Are you an independent traveller?

Maybe you're a camper or a climber or take part in extreme sports?

Do you need the most lightweight and durable kit?

If so you're about to discover the most valuable single piece of equipment you'll ever purchase –

a silk sleeping bag liner!

After a hard day you need to be able to sleep soundly and wake up ready to take on the challenge of a new day. You don't want fitful, unsatisfactory dozing, you don't want to be too cold or too hot or worried about biting insects or the state of your hotel sheets. You need to feel comfortable and secure so you can relax and drift off to sleep – even in the most extreme of climates.

When you're away from the comfort of your own bed travelling, on holiday or camping, what do you sleep in? A hotel bed, a bunk, a hammock, a sleeping bag – nothing! Depending where you are in the world, do you get too hot or too cold or worry about biting insects or the cleanliness of your hotel sheets and pillows? Maybe you want to keep the inside of your expensive down sleeping bag clean?

Hi, I'm Paul Roberts and I'm the owner of Terrevista Trails.

I travel extensively and love the outdoors and I've faced all these problems in the past. I know that if you don't get a good nights sleep you can feel pretty lousy the next day. I love travelling and visiting new places –

if I had the money and time, I'm pretty sure I'd just travel all the time.

While I enjoy getting out and about in the UK and Europe, I really prefer long haul destinations and the past few years have seen me take extended holidays in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.

All of my trips are on a budget so I stay in small hotels and guesthouses. Despite being in the tropics there are extremes of climate in SE Asia so on my trips I have to be prepared for temperatures in the 90's and humidity around 100% Five years ago, in December, I found myself in the charming Vietnamese mountain town of Sa Pa.

At an elevation of almost 5,000 feet, the scenery is amazing – steep mountains terraced with rice paddy, cascading rivers and epic drops from narrow mountain roads. Even in December the days were warm and sunny, but at night the temperature drops to freezing point.

Later on the same holiday, I visited Roratunga in the Cook Islands, right in the the middle of the Pacific Ocean. These small, tropical islands have white, sandy beaches fringed by palm trees – just like the movies. What they also have is extreme humidity and a whole variety of biting bugs.

My accommodation was decidedly budget - no aircon and only a creaky ceiling fan to combat the incredible humidity and a ropey mosquito net to keep the numerous bugs away.

The silk sleeping bag came into it's own again. I just climbed into it and lay on top of the bed. I was covered and protected from the bugs but more importantly, the silk let my body breathe so I didn't get sweaty.When I came home I put my new favourite bit of kit in the washing machine and watched in horror as all the colour ran and bleached the rest of my clothes a less than fetching shade of pink. Worse was to come though – when I took the sleeping bag out the seams had started to part and the silk was visibly threadbare in patches. It was done, worn out after one trip.

My Vietnamese sleeping bag was finished but it had done it's job well and I knew what to look for in its replacement. It had to be well made, tough, durable and lightweight. It needed to keep me warm, keep me cool and protect me from insects – in other words it had to keep me comfortable and allow me to sleep easily.

It also had to be silk. This natural fibre simply has no man made equivalent. Nothing is as light, durable or versatile as silk. l needed a replacement liner but one that was durable and wouldn't wear out in a few weeks like that Vietnamese one did. Researching the market I found many different styles of silk sleeping bag liner. Some were very cheap, some very expensive, some well made, some incredibly flimsy. But finally, I found what I was looking for – fantastically well made from hiqh quality silk, available in a range of styles and colours – and even in two different grades of silk.

It was the Jag Bag range of silk sleeping bag liners.

Jag Bags are simply the best silk sleeping bag liners on the market today. They've been made in New Zealand from Chinese silk by the same family business for 20 years. Jag Bags are an absolutely unbeatable combination of quality, versatility and value for money.

They have an unrivalled reputation and are used by travellers, backpackers, hikers, campers, climbers and skiers all over the world.

A Jag Bag Silk Sleeping Bag Liner will make your travelling and camping more comfortable because:

it will keep you warm in cold climates
it will keep you cool in hot climates
it will protect you from insect bites
it is ultra light and portable
it will protect your sleeping bag
it will reassure you when sleeping in hotel beds
the sensual texture of the silk against your skin will help you relax and get a good night sleep – wherever you are

Despite their incredible performance, these 100% Silk Sleeping Bag Liners pack away to less than the size and weight of a paperback book. Jag Bags are available in a range sizes, shapes, colours and grade of silk but each one is designed to perform for you. A Jag Bag can keep you warm or cool, it can protect you from bugs, it can keep the inside of your sleeping bag clean, it can offer a barrier against budget hotel room sheets – it can help you relax and sleep properly wherever you use it, whatever the conditions.

The Jag Bag range starts at £15 for a basic Fine Silk rectangular liner and goes on up to £29.50 for the Endura Silk Technical Mummy Liner. The most popular liner though is the 100% Fine Silk Deluxe Silk Sleeping Bag Liner at £19.50. This is a rectangular liner and comes complete with a pillow slot and semi open side seam to aid entry and exit.

This is a very practical liner and is the style I personally use. The pillow slot is ideal, not only for a pillow, but also for storing your passport and other valuables while you sleep.

At only £19.50 the Jag Bag 100% Fine Silk Sleeping Bag Liner represents excellent value for money. You can certainly buy cheaper ($2 on a Vietnamese market for instance) but you'll not buy better. For £19.50 you will be buying a liner which will enhance your travelling and sleep for years to come.

If you're not sure that Fine Silk will be durable enough then choose the more dense Endura Silk Deluxe Silk Sleeping Bag liner for only £23.50. As a rule of thumb I normally recommend Endura if you're on an extended trip or will be travelling in extremes of climate.
