Greetings,

When touring in the Spring my wife and I each sleep on 66" long ThermaRest pads. We use a lightweight rectangular fleece bag-liner and a rectangular down 45° sleeping bag. These are both unzipped such that we use both as blankets - that we use opened-up to cover both of us.

We use the TheraRests under us - for padding/insulation and the 2-rectangular 'blankets' above - for warmth (as needed).

The ThermaRests aren't that comfortable on muggy nights next to the skin. Can anyone recommend a silk-type cover for the ThermaRests? REI sells fitted Nylon ThremaRest covers @ 6oz. each. Has anyone used these? I'm thinking that a silk flat sheet cut and hemmed to cover the two ThermaRests would work fine. The silk sheets that I could find online are relatively expensive. What does anyone else use for this?

In the spring it just seems easier to open the rectangular fleece liner and down bag and to share them than it does to carry two sleeping bags. My wife tends to need more covering for warmth than I do.

Thnx.

Steve & Linda
