Ed,

easy to shrug off 8 ounces for you...  you had a horse to carry it !


i used a liner in 2010, and will not use one in 2011.  i was plenty warm without 
it ... as for a dirty sleeping bag, i have a top quilt,  so dirt etc. is not 
trapped in the bag.

my top quilt weighs 19 ounces, so splurging for a liner was way too much 
weight.  i'd be better off putting 8 more ounces down in the top quilt.

Hi All,

During the past few weeks there has been a lot of discussion regarding sleeping 
bags and various kinds of sleeping pads and inflatable air mattresses.  I didn't 

recall any mention of sleeping bag liners. For my rides in 2008 and 2009 I 
brought a sleeping bag LINER that I bought at REI. It is called a Cocoon. I will 

be bringing it again this summer.

The use I have had for it are:  1) Of course, by lining my down bag it helps to 
keep it clean. And the liner is very easy to rinse out on the trail - it drys 
quickly. I don't use soap. 2)  It provides an extra layer for warmth and if it 
is really cold you can sleep in your clothes without bringing trail dirt into 
your bag.  3)  If it is a warm night I sometimes slept in just the liner on top 
of my bag - if it became cooler later I could easily slip into my  bag.

It only weighs  8 ounces.
