How Much Does A SLEEPING BAG LINER Really Help?

Tenkara😁🙌🙌

I need sleeping beg how do i bye

I've used this liner in Big Bear CA when it snowed and got down somewhere into the low 20's. Bag was a 30F so comfort around 40F. I was toasty and warm all night. Love this liner!

I don't understand the point of these things. If you're already wearing long underwear, a liner won't keep your bag any cleaner. It won't keep you any warmer than long underwear or another layer or clothes either (in fact it's probably less effective), so why not just wear another layer instead of a liner? I bring extra layers anyway in case things get wet - might as well use them instead of a bag liner. You can't wear a sleeping bag liner when you're not in bed. More useless stuff for the landfill.

What's up with the dollar store sleeping pad lol

I have one of these. In no way it lowers the comfort rating beyond 5 degrees! I totally agree with you. I was hoping to get my 15 degree bag down to 0 as well. Lol. The one thing I hate about it, is it basically sticks to you when you want to role over

Let’s go Wyoming. Love this place.

Just stumbled upon your channel. I like your content and fun attitude. I have that same liner and love it. New subscriber!

I have used this sleeping bag liner for about five years now and I love it. While it doesn’t add no 25° to your sleeping bag, it’s probably fair that it’s 10 or so. My main thing is the comfort of it and it illuminates cold spots in your sleeping bag when you’re rolling around at night. It also keeps your dirty skin and oils of your body off of your sleeping bag and doesn’t permeate your feathers. It’s super light and mashed up pretty well. I always bring it if the weather is going to be below freezing. Sleeping cold totally sucks.

I always find that I'm colder on my first nights sleep regardless of season or what bag I'm using. My body will adjust and acclimatise to the weather conditions so would have tested it on the third day. But i guess we are all different. Cheers!

stop looking at yourself on the screen while filming, look at us through the lens

For the price that goes for you might as well use a silk liner. But yeah use one, use it all the time. It protects your sleeping bag and you can actually wash it. Use a bivvy bag for extra temperature addition. Use a blanket inside your sleeping bag or over it for added insulation.
That’s all my tips. I use one single sleeping bag year round. Three season bag, the add-ons make it four season (-10C lowest temp I had). In the summer nights I’ve used only the bivvy, liner and the blanket next to me in case I get cold.

I use the USGI MSS system. Clothing and bags. Have slept comfy since confirmed down to -6 F. Used prima loft isnt hard to find. Just takes time.

Love that you tried this out, I'm still torn about adding this to my supply but I am 100% a colder sleeper than you are, so maybe its the move.

I also want to do this at 67! Amazingly cool mum❤

How on earth is it a comparison when you're testing it with and without on different days lol. What a joke. Even if the temps are the same there are sooo many other factors. That said that particular liner only adds 5 degrees max. I prefer the feel of a liner tho

I have the same liner and it turns my three season bag into a three and a half season bag 😀

I don’t think you ever mentioned what was the temperature which is important for a video like this?

I use the Reactor Regular which is about half the size and weight also by Sea and Summit. I use the sleeping system referred to as MSS. Modular Sleep System. (check out the WEB) First layer is a light weight Bivy bag, One pound Down Sleeping Bag, sleeping Bag Liner, Ninja Suite (polypro long bottoms and long sleeve poly tops or skivies depending on expected low) Down Hoody ( Eddy Bauer , 16 oz about $35. Mix and match for the night temperature. Remember your body is searching for a tropical environment above 71 degrees. If you are sweating, take off a layer. If you are cold add a layer. Never wear anything to bed that you wear on the trail including socks. It takes about two weeks to acclimatize to temperature ranges of hot or cold. that will make a difference in the amount of insolation needed at night. Also factor in fatigue, dehydration, and food in your furnace. I live where there are wild swings in temperature so I can test at -20 or 110 during the year. When testing equipment, I use my test laboratory ( My unheated shed) where I can control for variables, such as humidity and wind. I also test my bike touring clothing the same way, by setting up my bike to a stationary stand, testing for temperature, time, work load, clothing layers. Perceived cold depend a lot on where you are from. Are you from Manitoba or Florida?

The best about this whole video is that you are able to go on a trip like that with your mom!
