Adds A LOT of heat, great for cold camping, durable and soft
I love, I repeat LOVE, this sleeping bag liner. We are restless from Covid and itching for a little adventure while still quarantining. Set up a tent in the backyard, but needed all kinds of supplies to ensure our comfort, including more bags, mattresses, and a liner for me as I run very cold and we intend to camp til the first snow, at least. But back to the liner. I’d bought this brand, and another cheaper, thinner liner. While the thinner liner did help my husband, it was noticeably thinner and cheaper in quality. But this liner really overheated me. This isn’t a bad thing (if only because I didn’t die) because I had a zero degree bag in 40 degree weather. Still, I was getting chilly feet and calves which convinced me it must be getting colder so I stood up, climbed feet first in the liner, then jumped in the air repeatedly as I pulled up the long liner til my feet hit bottom, making sure the hood was positioned in the back. The jumping must’ve looked ridiculous but it only took seconds so I recommend that rather than trying to slide yourself in while it’s in the bag. Anyway, now back to my night. It felt great, the density of the fleece. The outside of the material isn’t slippery but wasn’t much of a problem for turning over in my bag. Just take care to twist the bag where/ if needed after you’ve turned in your bag. I move very little in my bag though. To make a long story short, it provided a thick, comforting layer although I woke up early feeling like my legs and feet were about to ignite due to immense heat. It had gotten quite warm in the tent already by morning and I realized I hadn’t needed the liner for my cold self that night (although I overheated, I never woke up due to taking a med for insomnia that night). So, the next night I kept the liner folded underneath me in my bag. Even that got too warm. I’m telling you it has a real WARMING EFFECT as my body touched it, it seemed to warm up so much that it felt like an electric blanket at times. Night 3 was perfect without the liner. Live and learn, right? Bottom line: it adds substantial heat to your bag. I have no idea how many degrees, but I’d guess around 20? It is well made, soft, substantial, and the fact that it doesn’t have a zipper to leak heat is a plus for my purpose which is staying warm in colder temperatures. Although it was uncomfortable almost spontaneously combusting inside my warm bag, I feel confident in this bag to keep me substantially warmer when the time comes. I will report back if the liner falls short of my expectations. So far, it has exceeded them! And oh, I bought another as we are a family of campers. Likely I’ll be buying a couple more before spring! Read more
