Sea to Summit Reactor Midweight Liner Long Overview
The Sea to Summit Reactor Midweight Liner Long is a versatile thermal sleeping bag liner designed to improve warmth, sleeping comfort and sleeping bag protection during backpacking, camping and winter adventures.
Built using stretch-knit Thermolite Pro fleece fabric, the liner moves naturally with the body during sleep while integrated armholes provide unrestricted movement for side sleepers and restless sleepers alike. Using hollow-core fibre construction and Far Infrared (FIR) technology, the fabric traps and reflects body heat, increasing sleeping warmth by up to 6°C / 11°F without the bulk of a heavier sleeping bag.
Unlike a traditional sleeping bag, the Reactor Midweight Liner is easy to clean, quick-drying, and highly adaptable to changing conditions. HeiQ Fresh odour-control treatment helps maintain freshness during multi-day trips, while regular use of the liner reduces the need to wash your sleeping bag frequently, helping preserve insulation loft and long-term thermal performance.
Its balance of warmth, freedom of movement, and lightweight packability makes it a practical addition for backpacking, hut trips, bikepacking, and colder overnight camping conditions.

Materials and Construction
Thermolite Pro Fleece: Midweight Thermal Performance
The Reactor Midweight Liner uses Thermolite Pro and Thermolite EcoMade fibres designed to improve warmth retention while maintaining good packability for backpacking and travel use.
The hollow-core fibre construction traps warm air efficiently to improve insulation performance without excessive weight or bulk.
FIR Technology: Heat Reflection
The Thermolite Pro fabric incorporates Far Infrared (FIR) technology designed to reflect body heat back towards the user.
This improves thermal efficiency within the sleep system and contributes to an added warmth increase of up to 6°C / 11°F during colder overnight conditions.
Stretch-Knit Fleece Construction for Freedom of Movement
The stretch-knit fleece fabric moves naturally with the body rather than restricting movement during sleep.
This improves comfort for side sleepers and active sleepers while reducing the confined feeling often associated with traditional sleeping bag liners.
Integrated Armholes for Improved Comfort and Usability
Integrated armholes allow greater movement around camp and inside the sleeping bag without needing to fully exit the liner.
This improves comfort when reading, adjusting equipment or moving naturally during colder evenings and mornings.
HeiQ Fresh Odour Control for Extended Trip Freshness
HeiQ Fresh odour-control treatment helps reduce odour build-up during prolonged use between washes.
Combined with quick-drying fabric performance, this improves practicality during extended backpacking trips, hut stays and travel.
Features and Technologies
Significant Thermal Boost
The Reactor Midweight Liner is designed to increase sleeping warmth by up to 6°C / 11°F while remaining more lightweight and packable than carrying a substantially warmer sleeping bag.
This additional thermal performance helps extend the comfort range of your sleep system during colder nights and shoulder-season conditions.
Sleeping Bag Compatibility
The liner fits inside virtually all sleeping bags and can snap directly into compatible Sea to Summit sleeping bags for more secure positioning during sleep.
This helps reduce twisting and movement overnight while improving ease of entry and exit.
Protects Sleeping Bag Insulation
Using a liner helps reduce sweat, dirt and body oils reaching the sleeping bag insulation.
This reduces washing frequency and helps preserve insulation loft, warmth retention and long-term sleeping bag performance.
Fit and Size Guidance
Long Length Fit
The Long version is designed for users up to approximately 198 cm in height.
Its mummy-shaped profile improves thermal efficiency while the stretch-knit construction and integrated armholes maintain freedom of movement and sleeping comfort throughout the night.
Despite its increased warmth and longer dimensions, the liner remains compact enough for backpacking and travel use.
