what's the real advantage?

I don't irritate the living carp out of my oh bu going "I'm cooolllld" in whingy whiney voice all night long! 

I hate mummy bags so wouldn`t use a mummy liner. I made fleece liners to fit our square-ended Vango Astral bags out of cheap fleece blankets from Ikea. I`ve also got cotton ones made from Asda Smartprice (?) cotton sheets. I stitch the sides up to about waist height....never had any problems getting in or out of them and they seem cosy enough at the shoulders.

Atko, liners for bags serve the same purpose as wearing underwear....easy washing of the layer that gets most dirty, and another layer of insulation, like wearing thermal long underwear.

Incidentally, for chilly mortals out there, a set of thermal long underwear and wool socks are ideal sleeping wear, rather than cotton jammies.

Hi

The other good thing about them is in the summer it can be to warm for sleeping bag s and you can just use the fleece liner on its own  or if you use a quilt in summer if its a bit chilly you can use the fleece liner with the quilt for extra warmth and they dont feel cold when you get in.
