    Alternative Summer Top "Quilt" Ideas

    Does anyone do anything different in the summer for a top quilt? Meaning no actual quilt or bag, but another type of covering? I am talking about nights that remain in the 80's.

    I used to use a plain old cotton sheet, but I recently ordered a silk sleeping bag liner on eBay that should be perfect and super light weight.

    Poly fleece rocks in warmer temps. I really love fleece. There are times my 40* Burrow TQ is uncomfortably warm.

    I also use either a poncho liner or a fleece sleeping bag liner. For really warm night the poncho liner is just right for me.

    Another vote for poly fleece. My buddy gave me a sleeping bag style 5 years ago and I still love to use it on warm nights
