[pct-l] Silk liner

[James Vesely]

A question for the bag liner people.    Doesn't the bag get all twisted up on your body as roll around?    I hate that when the sheets on my bed at home do that.   

My solution is to wear thermal underwear on my bottom half, liner socks and a shirt.  I think this accomplishes the same thing, that is keeping the grime off my sleeping bag and at the same time providing extra warmth.    The thermals also double as pants during cold weather and if it gets real cold I put on my rain pants.   My thermals weigh 8.5 ounces.     

I also started using a quilt last year so now the bottom half of my body rests directly on my sleeping pad, which eliminates the problem of transferring grime to the bottom of the bag.

Just so you don't suffer from confirmation bias, as most people that respond will be folks that use a bag liner.  Most thru hikers do not use a bag liner.  Some folk really like them, others think they are just not worth the weight.  Personally I have no experience  with them - as I have never used one.  This is just something you have to try and see what works best for you.

For me, I'd rather carry an extra 5 oz of down in my bag than 5 oz of liner, but I don't mind a slightly dirty bag.  I do try to wipe down some of the grime when I can, if H20 is available.

Standard disclaimers (HYOH, YMMV)

Enjoy your upcoming hike
