I do a lot of snow camping, and I do bring this same liner in my sleep system. I've used the same reactor Extreme liner for about 5 years, and at first I was skeptical about it's effectiveness because the material feels thin as you mentioned, but I can tell you this does really help. Sometimes I'm sleeping in my tent during a backpacking trip, and about 2 or 3 in the morning it gets really cold when I am in my down quilt alone without the liner, and then I get the liner put it around me and cinch it up, and it makes a big difference. After I'm in the liner I do feel warm enough and am able to sleep again comfortably and feel warm. If you are going to be backpacking in colder temperatures it really is worth it to have this item along with you in your sleep system. Also the material is soft and comfortable for sleeping in.
Do you think we could have added more to the skillet? 😂
I just made my own from an old blanket. It's the warmest liner I ever owned.
Nice! We love a good DIY project. 😀

Great info, thanks! We’ll definitely be testing it out more in different conditions.
I have the older version and this one. My Mammut down bag has two zips for arm holes. This model of the reactor is perfect for that bag.
I don’t think this will cut it for me in Alaska, but thanks for the review. I chuckled when you were trying to figure out how to get into it.
😀 What type of bag do you use up in Alaska?
