I paid such a ridiculously high price for this product that I am too ashamed and embarassed to admit it, to you. I did, however, decide to purchase it, anyway, despite the high premium. Here is why ...So, I have constructed a lightweight 3-season system, for Central Texas, which does get "very" cold, at unpredictable intervals, throughout the late-fall to early-spring "trimester".Central Texas is Hill-Country ... Lots of steep ridges and canyons, all bunched together and there is lots of climbing involved and major weather fronts converge, in this region, manifesting all sorts of conditions, sporadically and unpredictably.My sleep-system consists of ONE G.I.

I really appreciated this liner as the temp fell from 20 degrees to 3 degrees overnight this weekend in the Catskills. Normally I would be very uncomfortable in my 15 degree bag at these temps, but the liner made it noticeably warmer. One of the reasons is that is eliminated the natural cold spots you get in a bag when not occupied by your body while you sleep, so when you shift you normally feel the cold. With the liner, which was snugly wrapped all around my entire body all night, I slept very well with no cold spots. It is big enough to provide room to shift positions but stays with you all night.Is this liner (or any liner for that matter) perfect for every sleeper? Of course not,

I bought this to add an extra few degrees tolerance to my winter sleep system wild camping. It does do this though I'm not sure it's to the degree they're stating. It's certainly nice to have something to line the bag with but I do find that due to the material and the materials generally used in sleeping bags that this bag tends to slide around, scrunch up or sink to the bottom of the bag quite easily and getting both to fit snugly at the same time is much like trying to wear two condoms; sure you're better protected in theory, but in practise the shuffling around to line yourself up and not feel like your somewhat helplessly tangled up kind of deflates my excitement for the product somewhat.

I go hiking a lot and have resisted getting a liner due to the idea I would feel constricted in my sleeping bag.Well, my fears have been put to rest. Firstly, this liner is so soft and comfy it feels like a cost sheet wrapping around you. The material is smooth and light.Importantly, and this is why I got it - the liner adds a lot of warmth to my sleeping bag. I’d say a other season. I’ve seen claims that it adds 23 degrees C in warmth. Well I certainly don’t think that to be true, however it made a noticeable difference a couple of weekends ago in 1-2 degree overnight temperatures.It has a hood with a draw string to keep head warmth in.It is however expensive in my opinion, hence 4 stars for value for money.

Let me start off by saying I took a 43 degree bag with me and it ended up being about 10 degrees. Problematic? Slightly, but I brought this with me to make my twenty dollar bag warmer. As with most backpackers I like to have things that pack well and let me tell you this thing packs small and with my bag that is not so warm but packs well it is a winning combonation. I truly believe that this will make you warmer and it packs tight and light.Now for the downside..... it's expensive but let's face it sometimes the comfort is worth it. Something where the primary trade off is more money but adds little to no weight or room to your pack is totally worth it to most backpackers.Side note....

Best purchase ever for outdoors, allows me to extend the life of my sleeping bag, keep the stink out, and go later into the shoulder seasons. I bought this because I am a cold sleeper, and my 25 degree bag would be uncomfortable even at 40 degrees. Now my sleeping bag is comfortable down to just below freezing, as long as I have a thick beanie. This is really not that much extra weight in your pack and is totally worth it. For toss and turn sleepers like me it keeps an extra warm area right around you, and I never wake up cold. If you were a warm sleeper on a warm night this would be the only sleeping bag you need, as long as you had a pad and wind protection, because this provides very little wind resistance.

Have the reactor and just upgraded to the extreme. This is a sleeping bag liner which helps to add warmth. I have used the old reactor about 50 times and it does in fact add a little warmth. I was never under any illusions that this is a substitution for a sleeping bag, (nor is it advertised as such). It is what it is, a light weight liner that does add warmth to your existing sleeping system. I also carry it in my ski BC Day pack along with a SOL bivy,, as a last resort survival system (yes I will be cold but it will keep me alive and is way better than nothing). If you are going for a day hike in the BC this is a good combo to carry. Obviously If I am planning on spending the night I bring my sleeping bag /

I wish I had found this sooner! I'm one of those women who is always cold. This bag liner is great! I got the warmest one I could find, and I use it every time I camp and its below 50 at night. It really makes a huge difference to me.The material is light weight and stretchy, like your old favorite t shirt. I can skip wearing socks, becuse it keeps my feet warm. Dirt and sticks do not stick to it.I was concerned that it might can tangled around me legs, but it doesn't. I even use it in a hammock, inside my sleeping bag, and no problems.I think its a good option to having to buy a warmer sleeping bag. It packs down to the size of a water bottle.I have even brought it on the airplane,

I was skeptical after first receiving this product. It is a stretchy, rather thin weave and I simply could not believe it would add warmth to my bag. So last night I slept outside in our open carport. My bag is rated at 30 degrees (which is a stretch). It was quite windy and dropped down to 27 degrees. I wore a light base layer and wool socks. In the middle of the night I woke up because my feet were too hot and had to remove my socks! My face was the only part of my body exposed to the outside but when I pulled the liner over my face I felt so much warmer. I found it rather easy to get into it and it was certainly not restrictive to sleep in. I'll be glad to have it along on my hike.

I have an old Coleman sleeping bag which I think is actually colder sleeping inside of it. Anyway, I bought the Reactor Extreme bag and a Silk mummy bag to work in tandem with my old sleeping (is that then trandem when its three?) bag and so instead of spending many hundreds of dollars on a new sleeping bag I spent 100 dollars for both the silk and reactor bags. Worked great, I stay nice and warm in about 30ish weather in my hammock out in the woods, but I’m also wearing a bit of clothes, maybe either my silk or wool long underwear. Is that now Quondam? Whew, well all in all a well-made and warm product which is exactly what I wanted.

I live in Northern California on the coast where we have cool mornings and evenings. Seems like we always camp in cold places and I freeze. Even with a base layer and 25 degree bag I still get cold. Maybe it’s a camel thing. My husband is fine in the same bag. I like my bag and didn’t want to invest $200+ in a warmer one so I tried this liner.I stayed warm! It was great! I’m guessing temps dipped into the 40”s . So base layer, thermal socks, liner bag and insulated mat under my cot and I was ok. I do wish there was a side opening but maybe that would affect the warmth. I’ve never used a bag liner before. Soft and cozy.

Surprisingly thin material...kind of feels like the material used to make tshirts. Thought it was a waste of money...until i used it on a cold night camping. Same ol 35F sleeping bag I've used dozens of times...and had a few nights that were pretty miserable. With this liner, i was comfortable all night even when temps got down in the 20's. Hard to imagine how this thin little sack can make that much of a difference, but it does.I now pack this liner with my sleeping bag so I have it with me every time I camp. I use it as a sleeping bag when temps are very warm...and as a liner when it's cold.

Went on a weekend backpacking trip, in March, in Colorado. Yay snow! Got below freezing during the night but I stayed super warm with this inside my ~25 degree sleeping bag (that's what it's rated, but it's a few years old / been washed and used a lot, so add degrees to that rating). I actually got a little hot using this! Definitely bringing any time I think I'll be cold while camping / backpacking. I have poor circulation, so my feet got a little cold. Would recommend doubling up on socks if you are winter camping (just advice, not against this product at all!).

I can't imagine it truly does what is claims (up to 14C increase) BUT it certainly adds a lot of warmth. I bought it for Kilimanjaro and on the warmest night it already dipped to 0C. I wouldn't have been able to sleep if I didn't have the added warmth of my liner. I also boghut the Sea to Summit Thermolite Mummy Liner (not Extreme) for my husband who generates a lot more heat naturally and actually only needed that for a few nights until we climbed in elevation. Expensive but worthwhile buy for me.

I thought this liner was not really what it was going to be when I first open the package. I was taking it on a cold trip and found that it was surprisingly warm. it really does add its 25 degrees as promised. I went ahead and spent the extra 10 bucks to get the top of the line liner rather than the 15 degree plus liner. Really works, lightweight, and very comfortable. NO JOKE probably one of the best products i have ever used camping it is literally better than food almost.
