Jerven Primaloft lining for Exclusive 170g/m2

— Show original

High quality package!

This is my second Jerven exclusive purchase with 170 g/m2 lining. I bought a second set (Exclusive and lining) to zip to my initial one to experiment with setting up a larger improvised cold weather one person shelter. This is a very thick lining that zips into the Jerven Exclusive. On its own it acts as a decent water resistant 2 season sleeping bag. Zipped into the Exclusive it can serve as a 4 season bag. It is not an optimum choice for any single role, but combined with a warm base and mid layer of merino wool or synthetic on your body it will function well as long as you have a good R rated sleeping pad underneath. I find it is better to put a foam or insulated inflated sleeping pad inside the bag with a light insulating pad (such as the folding German military foam pad) under the Jerven bag. Highly recommended if you are willing to sacrifice a small amount of comfort sleeping for flexibility. If you are looking for sleeping comfort primarily you should purchase a good winter sleeping bag such as a Carinthia Defence 6 or Survival One or similar along with a good winter sleeping pad.

Great zippers, feels good very warm, stitching is great with lots of room.
