Sleeping bag liners extend the life of your sleeping bag by keeping them clean.
It’s also so much easier to wash a liner than a big down bag. But perhaps the best thing about liners is that they can increase the temperature range of your bag by several degrees. Compared with the price of a warmer down bag, they can be economical too.
Sea to Summit Silk Travel Liner
Now this is the way to travel: sleeping between silken sheets every night, even though you’re in a tent. This ripstop silk liner is fantastically light and compact – barely the size of a coffee cup – but can increase the warmth of your sleeping bag by 5?C. It’s machine washable and colourfast and has reinforced seams and a built-in pillowcase. What’s particularly nice about silk is that it has an almost magical ability to keep you at a comfortable temperature. Never too hot, never chilly. A top piece of kit well worth the price tag.

Sea to Summit Reactor
This compact thermal liner can increase the comfort range of a sleeping bag by up to 8?C and doubles as a warm weather sleeping bag used on its own. It’s made of Thermolite hollow-core fabric, which traps warm air but expels moisture, so no matter how warm you get inside it, you won’t feel clammy. It’s machine-washable and rolls easily into a compact travel bag.
