Fjern Slumra Liner: first impressions
The no-frills Fjern Slumra Liner is a good choice for cooler camping conditions in spring and fall, or for using as an extra layer indoors in hostels or mountain huts in winter, when the polyester material traps in warmth nicely.
Most of the sleeping bag liners we’ve come across aren’t recycled, but this one is made with 100 per cent recycled polyester, so it’s a more sustainable choice than most on the market.

• Pack size: 18cm x 8cm / 7in x 3in

Fjern Slumra Liner: in the field
While providing warmth when required in chilly conditions, the polyester this liner is made from isn’t breathable enough to be comfortable in warm or humid weather, so you might need to switch to cotton or silk in such conditions. That said, on cooler nights this liner is surprisingly soft and comfortable against the skin, unlike some slippy or scratchy sleeping liners.
This liner also does a great job of protecting your best sleeping bag from dirt and sweat, and once you’re back home, it comes out of the washing machine good as new, dries fast and feels like it could take years of camping – and washing – in its stride.
At 340g and with a dinky pack size once it’s rolled up into its included stuff sack, the Slumra is a good portable option for backpacking trips, hut-to-hut hiking and camping trips where you’re packing light. Often available at a reduced price, this is an affordable option we’d recommend to more casual campers.
