There are a whole bunch of different materials to choose from when it comes to sleeping bag liners, many with several different uses. But thermolite is different, in that a thermolite sleeping bag liner is meant for just one thing, really, and that is adding warmth. If you want to turn a summer sleeping bag in to a winter sleeping bag, for instance, then you would use a thermolite sleeping bag. Thermolite is also fairly comfortable to sleep against, but its primary use is warmth.
Thermolite Sleeping Bag Liner
What to look for when you're looking for a thermolite sleeping bag liner.- Degrees Added – The primary purpose of a thermolite sleeping bag liner is to add warmth to your sleeping bag, boosting its minimum temperature rating. But there are a variety of thicknesses when it comes to thermolite liners, which will determine exactly how many degrees get added.
- Shape – The shape of the sleeping bag liner is another important determinant in your purchasing process. A mummy shaped sleeping bag liner is best suited for a mummy shaped sleeping bag, for instance, and would just unnecessarily constrict you when in a rectangular sleeping bag.
