I may also start out with an inexpensive fleece blanket that it wouldn't break my heart to toss once things warm up a bit. The price, while not insignificant, is not my big aversion to the 0 and lower rated bags, it's the weight! I'm looking for something a little more modular so I can shed weight during summer with an easily replaceable layer I can pick up somewhere on trail in fall.
I honestly didn't know bag liners were available in flannel. Embarrassing to admit but I've been so laser focused on silk that I hadn't noticed there were other options.
