Sleep Sack Uses

We always take a travel sheet or sleeping bag liner when we backpack, camp or hike.

Sleeping bag liner - Place one inside your sleeping bag and it will help to keep your sleeping bag clean.

Travel Sheet - We always sleep inside a travel sheet whenever we stay in a hostel or dorm rooms. We have even used them staying at cheep hotels. They are also great to use as a sheet when camping in warm weather.
