  1. Spot on. Marketing gimmick.

  2. Sure would work great. Has been done for like 100 years or more.

  3. They for sure are.

  4. You are way over estimating added cold weather performance. There is no way a liner and a bivy would add together 10C so make it rated at - 11C ;) Unless you really are going to wear a LOT of clothes. Or sleep in winter 4 season tent between two large warm pp.

  5. Heavy.

  8. It gives you few degrees extra, no more then that. Not really worth it. Just wear more clothes in your sleeping bag.

  9. WTF, layering sleeping bags has been around for like what 100 years now? Ever felt cold at night and put a blanked on? Call yourself an innovator. Main issue is weight. It is better to take on single zero degree 0F or -18C bag then combo of two bags. The combination of bags was used by pp that say did not have a zero degree bag but still want to go somewhat cold - so they were told to say use two summer bags. Easy for girls, take your regular summer bag and one your boyfriend used. Another method was to add few degrees - add bivy sack over your sleeping bag. Come on pp this has been around for ever!

  10. There simply was not need to do this as everyone already did this. Its just marketing ploy.

  11. LOL, more like 3C or 4F of warmth ;) and that is stretching it a lot.

  12.  @flundyyy  Yes I am. It adds maybe 5F. And that is on a good day. Yes I own one of these liners. Main purpose for owning one is to not make your sleeping bag dirty. main issue is when you have the liner, sleeping bag and bivy its a lot of bags to get into or out of. Also liner is heavy. Its a nice feeling fabric but its heavy. Better system is to either get more down clothing or get two of these -1C or 30F sleeping bags which are ultra light.... but of course that is much more $$$. As for dirty sleeping bag... just ... wash your down sleeping bag! Be very gentle and do it.

  13. Nah, just remember at -40 they are the same. Then 100F is like almost normal body temperature (light fever) Then 0F is -18C. Shoot in the middle of these ranges to figure stuff out. Americans will not get C - to difficult for them ;)

  14. You do what normal pp do. Do not feel special. Its normal. Do not use wool - its old school. We have synthetics now that can keep warm if wet - main advantage of wool.
