That having been said, my real input regards, layered sleeping systems. I replaced an old bag with a new down marmot arroyo, and here's my layering paradigm: marmot arroyo very lt bag wool surplus bagliner cheap & works good as hot weather bag designsalt flannel liner boy is this comfortable designsalt silk liner best insulation to wt ratio So the idea is to be able to pick a combination of layers to fit the trip. I want to get a more rectangular bag to go on the exterior and allow full lofting of the arroyo, and I want to replace the wool bagliner with a bagliner of polartec 200 or 300. The polartec would probably be just as bulky as the wool, but would wt considerably less. So far I have only found mummy shaped bagliners in a very lite fleece, the one that design silk offers is rated to provide ~2deg less insulation than the flannel liner. Did I mention that the cotton flannel liner was extremely comfortable? ref: http://www.designsalt.com/ Mike, looking for a 12step cotton rehab program, McNally *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
