[pct-l] sleeping bag liner

[Elizabeth Clements]

Thanks for the description/visual.  So the zip is utilized more as
ventilation than access, that makes sense.  I looked into quilt designs but
decided to go with a bag.  I would love to make my own gear but I didn't
leave myself enough time this go around.  It seems like a sheet type liner
with little ties to keep it in place (attached to the inside of the bag or
underside of a quilt) would allow more options (and movement, allowing me
to flail in peace) than a permanently shaped/structured 'body condom'.
