>>I also tend to sleep cold, but I found that there were times on the PCT when my 20 degree bag was too warm. I >>brought a Cocoon SILK liner and would not be without it. Here are the advantages: It keeps the inside of your >>bag clean - it is very easy to wash and dries quickly on the trail. It only weighs 4.9 ounces and packs down to >>7.75" x 5.6" x 1". It was important to me in that it ADDS 9.5 degrees F to the sleeping bag warmth. On a cold >>night, I appreciated that extra warmth. On a warm night I could sleep on top of the sleeping bag and use just the >>liner, as it got cooler during the night I could use just the sleeping bag zipped open at first. This gave me greater >>flexibility as I was able to adjust to whatever the temperature was. That liner measures 95" x 35" and tapers >>down to 22".
