Plenty Warm Enough with Liner

January 3, 2008
I got the bag this Christmas and used it within a few days along with a very thin "see-through" bag liner in what had been soaking wet weather hen it just dropped to around 5-10 degrees F on the AT. Pad was simple roll up foam pad. Previous winter hikes with a 20 deg below, 30 year old Polarguard bag, I had to use chemical hand and foot warmers to get through the nights. This trip the bag/liner system alone kept me plenty warm. Probably close to pushing limits of warmth without hand/foot warmers. However, I was glad temps didn't drop to -10, as this system probably wouldn't have been warm enough. Compression capability and light weight of bag and liner system was great! Happy for now. Real test will be if still happy with system in 5 years.
