I read that it is a good idea to use a sleeping bag liner to keep your sleeping bag clean. I recently purchased a 20F down quilt from Enlightened Equipment and now I am debating on whether or not to purchase a sleeping bag liner for my quilt.
Reasons why I think I don't want liner:
It seems to me a liner might defeat the reason of why I purchased a quilt vs a mummy bag because of the restricting cocoon feeling of a mummy bag. Also, it seems like all the sleeping liners are made for mummy bags, not quilts.
Reasons why I think I want a liner:
It will keep my down quilt cleaner and in better working condition. I can use it for a little extra warmth on cold nights.
Unfortunately I do not have time to test out a liner before going on a thru hike so I hope you all can help me make this decision based on your experience. Thank you!!
