1. Choose a Suitable Material for the Season and Environment
   
2. Ensure the Shape of the Liner Matches the Shape of Your Sleeping Bag
   
3. Check the Liner’s Size and Weight

• Silk: Breathable, insulating and extraordinarily lightweight, silk is all you can hope for in a sleeping bag liner. The only drawback is that it can be quite expensive compared to other materials. 

• Cotton: A more economically viable option, cotton is strong and durable. It tends to last longer than most fabrics, surviving multiple washes before showing signs of wear. However, it is a little heavier and will take up more space than silk.

• Fleece and Microfleece: For the colder weather, a warmer option like fleece or microfleece can add as much as 11°C to your sleeping bag. It's reasonably priced and absorbent, but is one of the bulkiest and heaviest options you can buy.

• Synthetics: Fabrics such as polyester are moisture-wicking and breathable. For use in humid atmospheres, these fabrics are ideal and the stretch is perfect for manoeuvrability. So if you tend to toss and turn, this will be the best option for you. 

• Insulated Fabrics: If warmth is your priority, insulated liners will be your best bet. They can range in price depending on the quality of the materials used, but adding an insulated liner to a light spring or summer bag can help you adapt your kit to any weather conditions.

• Mummy: Designed to protect standard sleeping bags from dirt and body oils, these are usually tapered towards the feet and have a space or a hood at the opposite end. 

• Rectangular: These can be used in rectangular bags, but are also often used on their own as sheets to line bedding in hotels and hostels, providing a protective layer against contamination.

The final consideration is the size and weight of the bag. Checking the measurements is important to ensure a proper fit inside your sleeping bag. If it's too small, you risk losing space inside the bag. If it's too large, you'll end up with excess fabric that can tangle and disrupt sleep. That's why you should always opt for a liner around 1-3 cm smaller than the measurements of your sleeping bag. 

The weight is also a key factor, since you'll be transporting the bag liner along with your other camping gear, often on foot. Choosing a lightweight bag will ensure you have the most comfortable experience while travelling to and from the camp spot. Ideally, your liner should weigh under 350 g, as anything larger will start to feel like a burden.
