The quality of this sleeping bag insert was absolutely great. The fabric felt nice against the skin and it was surprisingly roomy. The pillow pocket was huge and very convenient. Folding this up to put into it's carry pouch was much easier than most other products like tents, sleeping bags, etc. I'm allergic to down feathers, but am forced to use down bags for ultra light purposes. Using this bag insert actually kept a nice barrier for me and my nostrils wide open LOL.I REALLY wanted to give 5 stars, but one thing bothered me quite a bit. The inability to fully close the access slit in the side. I brought this with me to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area for an 8 day kayak trip, in fairly cold weather(32F nights). I sleep very hot and don't need a lot to keep me warm at night. When this sleeping bag insert was pulled fully up, along with my 20F down bag, I was exceptionally warm and comfortable. Do you realize how frustrating it was to try and keep this thing pulled up to my shoulders? The little strap with the velcro was a joke, if I moved even a little it would come undone. More than once PER night I would be awake trying to pull this sleeve back up because of the opening in the side. A few buttons or high quality zipper would have made a world of difference. I was disappointed that such an otherwise high quality product dropped the ball in this one spot.I will definitely use this again, but will probably sew my own zipper in place.

Pros
  • The Friendly Swede Travel Sleeping Bag Liner is made from breathable material, preventing you from getting too hot or stuffy
Cons
  • The liner may be too hot for use in warmer climates
