Therm-a-Rest Sleep Liner: first impressions
The Therm-a-Rest Sleep Liner comes in three different sizes: Small, Regular and Large. The Small (168cm) is a good pick if you own a female-specific sleeping bag and find that regular sleep liners are too long and tend to bunch up, while the Long is 198cm in length, so it’s ideal for taller campers. Even if you aren’t especially tall, we’d recommend picking the Long if you have wider shoulders, as you may find the Small and Medium offer too narrow and claustrophobic a fit.

Therm-a-Rest Sleep Liner: in the field
If you’re shopping for your first sleeping liner for cool nights, you won’t go wrong with Therm-a-Rest’s Sleep Liner. This well-made all-rounder ticked all our boxes on test – it adds warmth, it’s easily machine-washable and it has a good three-quarter zip to make getting in and out of the bag quick and easy come bedtime (no ungainly wriggling in and out of a tube of material here).
Therm-a-Rest reckon their design adds three degrees of warmth, and we did find it noticeably trapped in more heat than using your best sleeping bag alone. We liked adding it to our sleep system (along with an insulating sleeping pad) on crisp, chilly nights, but reckon you’d overheat fast on hot summer nights unless you used the liner alone and partially unzipped it.
While this bag is made with polyester, it’s got a brushed finish to the material that feels soft and not plastic-y to touch.
