Review on The Friendly Swede Travel Sleeping Bag Liner - Lightweight And Compact Adult Sleep Sack For Camping And Hotels by Brian Hrdlicka

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable and convenient

Three trips in, and I am enjoying this liner in my 35 degree down bag. Seems to give me an extra 8-10 degrees of comfort in the cold. It is comfortable and convenient, it actually fits back into its pouch easily. Would offer the idea of attaching the pouch to the liner so it doesn't get lost. It is pretty slippery, which makes it easy to move around in. But when I use it in a Sierra Designs Backcountry Bed ,which doesn't have a side zipper, it can be tricky to get in and out of. Mostly because the bag is taffeta and you have to slide in and out from the top, so the liner sticks to you, rather than stay in the sleeping bag. So climbing back in after a late night nature call, requires pulling out the liner and starting over, probably more an issue of the bag, than the liner, but worth considering if you have a similar style bag. The integrated pillow pocket isn't very helpful if using a camping pillow. My small pillow just ends up in a knot. A larger pillow might not be a problem. The velcro tabs on the side don't hold well and quickly come undone. Needs more surface to stay closed. I will probably just sew them closed permanently.I am looking forward to using this liner as just a light weight sheet when the weather warms up, it should be perfect for a light cover in the warmer months.

Pros
  • It’s an excellent option for those who want to minimize their carbon footprint while traveling
Cons
  • The liner may not be wide enough for some individuals
