    Has anybody tried using a sleepingbag liner? I have a good +20 degree mummy bag, but want it to be useful at lower temps. I dont plan on using it in sub-zero temps, but want a little more out of it without getting a new one. It said that they can add 10 degrees to your existing sleeping bag.

    I just got my USGI 4 part sleeping system in this afternoon from Allegheny Surplus Outlet for $120. I have to admit I am a bit disappointed. I am 6'-4" 275 lbs. and it is a bit too sung for me too really sleep in and I was planning on buying another one for me. I originally bought it for my...
