Yes, I know this subject has been done to death. But, this was a particularly well written and researched article. So, I thought it would be helpful.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
