Comments about Cocoon CoolMax Travel Sheet:
We traveled to India for 5 weeks and didn't stay in any "star" hotels. It was nice to have the travel sheet for a bit added "protection". Packs to size of a large jar. Got home and tossed it in the washing machine - ready to go!

Comments about Cocoon CoolMax Travel Sheet:
In the bag, it's about the size of a 500ml Nalgene only a little bigger around. See the specs for the unpacked size. I've gotten more use out of mine in hotels than I have outside. It seems that no matter how low the A/C is set, all the sheets/blankets/etc. are just too much (for "hot natured" me) so out comes the travel sheet. When hammocking, this is the perfect trade off for those late summer and fall nights where even the thinnest warm weather bag is too much but nothing isn't quite enough. I've also used it as a neck pillow with acceptable results.
Despite the glowing review, I only give 4 stars because this is the only one with which I have any experience.

Comments about Cocoon CoolMax Travel Sheet:
I originally got this for a trip through SE asia where I stayed at some pretty questionable places as far as cleanliness goes. This was perfect to use in-between the sheets (i get cold...) and made it so i never had to worry about touching a dirty sheet/ blanket. I'm taking it to Panama for a trip where the accommodations are going to be rustic and humid and am confident that it will perform just as well as it did last time I would highly recommend this product!

Comments about Cocoon CoolMax Travel Sheet:
Used this on an REI Adventure trip to the White Mountains in NH in July. We stayed in huts along the way. This was perfect in the bunks at night! Comfortable and cool on a warm night and a great soft layer against my skin under the itchy blankets on a cool night. The best feature is the pocket for the pillow so I didn't have to bring a pillowcase. Stuffs into it's own stuff-sack, making the organization of my pack easier.

Comments about Cocoon CoolMax Travel Sheet:
Its a bag liner. Bag liners are good for keeping your bag clean and adding a bit of warmth. I suppose you could use it as a warm weather cover up or a warmer on a train or something. I tried to use it with my hammock on a november morning in Austin, it didnt do the job, I upgraded from it to an REI Travel Sack. So Im not so sure yet about its versatility outside of being a bag liner. As a bag liner though it does its job. If you dont sleep in your cloths a bag liner keeps your bag cleaner and is more comfortable on your skin than the bag alone. if your camping in the cold you can pull the pillow pocket of this bag liner (wich is huge) over your head and face to get a bit of protection from the cold. But then again. if you wear cloths to bed a bag liner is less needed. and if you are a scarf fan like me it doesent help you quite as much when its cold, not that I didnt indulge. its a nice little bag liner nothing much more. If your a minimalist I say go without it. This is strictly a comfort item for me, Ill probably carry it for that reason, but I do Roll pretty heavy and tend to bulk up on the comfort items a wee bit more than some backpackers.

Comments about Cocoon CoolMax Travel Sheet:
Just got back from a weekend camping and it was high 80's-mid 90's with excruciatingly high humidity- as in sweat would just drip off of me because it couldn't evaporate into the already-saturated air. Sleeping had the potential to be miserable and I was fully prepared to go sleep in my car with the AC running.
Instead, I used the CoolMax sheet with an inflatable air mattress and a little battery powered fan. Make sure to pull it all the way up to your shoulders and neck in the back, then you can tuck it under your arms. It wicked away the sweat and left me cool and dry all night- until I had to get up in the morning!

Comments about Cocoon CoolMax Travel Sheet:
I have owned a Coolmax Cocoon for about 5 years. It is great for very warm nights, keeping the drafts off you in a warmer bag on cold nights, keeping the bag clean and best of all, I can use just the cocoon between me and my foam pad and it wicks well enough to keep my back from getting sweaty. That allows me to only need a top blanket instead of a sleeping bag, saving weight in the pack.

Comments about Cocoon CoolMax Travel Sheet:
This is my new favorite piece of gear. Just used for the first time on a long weekend trip. When it was cold at night, it added much-needed warmth to my lightweight sleeping bag. On a warm afternoon, it gave me just what I needed for a post-hike nap. It's soft and roomy. I won't ever camp without it again!

Bought this liner to go with my zero bag for a weekend winter backcountry trip. Very comfortable and after a couple days of hiking, it kept the B.O. out of my sleeping bag.

Super lightweight and comfortable. Have used it on trains and in hostels in place of their sheets. Excellent warm weather bag.
