I am interested in the using an insert for my winter hike and upcoming Spring hike. I saw that most of the inserts are $75-100 for a nice silk insert. Being of a frugal mindset, I was wondering why not just buy a silk sheet and sew it up to make my own insert. Seems cheaper and easier. Anyone have any experience making their own inserts? Would a Queen sheet be big enough to fold over and sew? Will a silk sheet hold up to trail abuse inside a bag?
Thanks for the responses, Atlas
