Hi since i move my date back from feb 11 to march 3 2009 i was wonder if i should bring my 200 weight fleece to sleep in or the liner i have for my sleeping bag. I have
a primfloft jacket i am gone to bring for camp. My sleeping bag is a mountain hardwear Lamina 15 deg. bag oh yet the fleece weight 12oz.

Sleep in the fleece. Dual use. Leave the liner at home unless you plan on using it as a scarf (the only practical dual use anyone's ever given me for a bag liner). Keep your fleece clean and your bag will stay clean.

I still recommend a liner unless you are a warm sleeper (like a guy, ha ha). Though my son who was 16 needed his about four times, but he had a 20 degree Cats meow. It can still get down to single digits in March (it did twice for us, though we were in Franklin then). Up to you. Liners worked great for me - I used mine until early May

15 degrees and below when we went in March. Ship home when the weather improves. Good luck.

Take the 200 wt. fleece. On March 8th it was 17 degrees and snow on Springer, and I wore everything that night in my 15 degree bag. Didn't shipped my fleece home until Pearisburg, VA and got it back again in Glencliff, NH, just before the Whites.
