How does it work?
Winter or summer your Silksak provides thermal balance. Amazingly soft and extremely lightweight it brings a layer of breathable protection whether on its own or inside your sleeping bag.
Summer Sak
In the heat of summer or warmer climates a Silksak is the perfect alternative to a regular sleeping bag. You’ll feel cool and comfy as your Silksak keeps your skin dry and your temperature even, as well as providing protection from biting insects.
Winter Liner
When used inside a sleeping bag your Silksak acts as a thermal layer, creating luxurious warmth. It also extends the life of your sleeping bag by keeping it clean, and the fine, smooth parachute silk reduces unpleasant tangles in the night.
Travel Companion
If you’re not keen on hotel sheets or want to spare a friend from laundering after a one-night stay, your Silksak is your own personal cocoon for luxurious sleeping and takes next-to-no room in your bag.

Frequently asked questions
Is it mulberry silk?
Yes it is. All our SilkSaks use 100% mulberry silk.
How do I care/wash my Silksak?
As with all of our products, these can be machine washed on a gentle cycle using a wool detergent, or simply hand wash and hang to dry out of direct sunlight.
How much does the Standard Silksak weigh?
Our Standard Silksaks weigh just 110gm (4oz) so you can be sure you can pack light.
What do you mean by "All Seasons"?
Your SilkSak is perfect to use on its own in the heat, or as an extra layer of insulation in cool weather inside your sleeping bag (or even in your own bed!).
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely! Silk is arguably the gentlest fibre against the skin, and is often recommended by health practitioners for those with sensitive skins.
Is the Silksak a natural & sustainable product?
Silk production is naturally regenerative and therefore earth-friendly. Mulberry bushes are a renewable and sustainable crop, and no pesticides are used or the silkworms won't eat the leaves!
How long can I expect my Silksak to last?
With care you should get a minimum of 12 years from your SilkSak, even if you use it a lot. Some of our customers are still using theirs after 20 years of luxurious sleeping.
I’ve only slept in my SilkSak 4 times, and it looks as though it is coming apart!
This is known as Seam stretch and is completely normal. It’s caused by people moving in their sleep and is especially prevalent with restless sleepers. It does not affect the strength or life of your SilkSak at all.
