    Default Thermolite Reactor

    I just purchase a Thermolite Reactor sleeping bag liner. It says that it will make a bag 15 degrees warmer. I have read different reviews but some say yes and some say not quite. Anyone have one and just how much more warmth? I bought it to try and avoid purchasing a new 15 degree bag when I like my 30 degree bag.

    The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us

    Yeah, definitely not 15 in my experience. A couple at most.
    - AT: Springer to Daleville (714.3 miles) in 2007
    - Bibbulmun Track: End-to-End (600 miles) in 2008

    Yes, it adds 15 degrees. Buy two and you can turn your summer bag into a winter bag. And never question advertising.

    So you have had a good experience with it? What temp rating was the bag you use it in and what temp did you use it?

    No way! Advertisers lie?

    Yeah, that was sarcasm, but people believe what they want to hear.
    This comes up quite a bit and I get a little miffled by the blatant lies.

    Seems awfully expensive for the hefty 8 oz weight and minimal temp gain.
