Sleeping Bag Liners

I must admit, I'm torn on the utility of sleeping bag liners. On the
one hand, sleeping bag liners DO provide some extra boost to your sleeping
bags insulation rating. Depending on what type of liner you get, you
can expect to extend your sleeping bags temperature rating by about 5
or 10 degrees. Now, of course, this is a good thing.
However, the reason I'm torn over liners is because I hate
using them! They are frequently awkward to get set up properly inside
the sleeping bag. And once you get it set up right, as soon as you crawl
inside the bag the liner becomes like a constricting snake as the night
progresses, seemingly wrapping itself around you tighter and tighter
until you can barely move.
So...if you need to extend the temperature rating of your sleeping bag
a few degrees for a high alpine hike, and you can live with the awkwardness
of setting them up right inside the bag, then consider getting a sleeping
bag liner. However, if weight and bulk isn't an issue, you will be better
served by getting a thick sleeping pad instead!
