ABOUT
OUR PRODUCTS |
|
Q: Do you make your liners?
A: Yes
we make our liners at New Zealand, with first quality products and qualified
machinists. We value highly our reputation
for reliability and excellent quality. Our customers remark on our speedy
service no matter how small the order. Most importantly, we are proud that
all our products are made in New Zealand by New Zealanders. |
|
Q: How wide is the Extra wide
liner?
A: The extra wide liner
is 3 ft 9" wide (1.15 m). It is made from a width and a half of silk therefore
it has a flat seam down the length of it. It is comfortable and well sewn.
Silk is not made in the extra width. |
|
Q: Can you make about half of
the side open?
A: There is no problem getting
in and out of the liner as it is so wide. Having a side opening can sometimes
be a bit of a pest as it gets tangled and caught underneath you. Also you
will find that the liners act like a mosquito net for you, if you keep well
inside them. Insects are not able to bite through the silk. But if this is
what you want, we can make it for you. |
|
Q: What is a Endura silk liner?
A: It is our coolest liner,
made from habotai silk. This is because silk has a natural wicking property
for moisture {sweat} and as the habotai is a little heavier thus it
wicks more sweat away from your skin than the finer silk. It is also our warmest
liner used inside a sleeping bag as the silk is a heavier guage than the
other silk liners. |
|
Q: In which colours are the Endura
silk liners available?
A: We have the endura silk
liners available in all the colour combinations on our page plus white. The
coloured liners are hand dyed and have a smudgy colour effect.They
do cost more though. |
|
Q: I am travelling
to the tropics and I need a liner to sleep in. Will I be too hot in a silk
liner?
A: I doubt that there is
any other fabric which is cooler to sleep in than pure silk. It is a protein
material like wool and has the property of being able to keep you cooler in
warm conditions and warmer in cold conditions just as wool has the same properties.
Also the silk covering gives you some protection from mosquitoes as they
do not like biting through pure silk. Our Endura silk liner wicks away more
moistue than the finer silk liner. |
|
Q: I am not very
tall do you have a shorter model liner?
A: Yes we can make any silk
liner to your own personal dimensions. Just send us an email with your
specifications and we will send you a quote. |
|
Q: Why do you recommend pure silk
sleeping bag liners?
A: Pure Silk helps to keep you cool in humid
conditions as it is able to wick some moisture away from your skin, depending
on the weight of the silk. On the other hand it helps greatly to keep you
warm in very cold conditions and can upgrade the warmth of your sleeping bag.
In addition to this it is easily washable and keeps the inside of your sleeping
bag clean. |
|
Our Customers tell us that the addition of an endura silk sleeping
bag liner increases the warmth of their sleeping bag to the warmth of close
to 10 degrees Fahrenheit (5-6 C) . ...upgrades the warmth to the next level
of sleeping bag. When the nights are warm many sleep using only the
liner. |
