The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Sea To Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag Liner:
My most recent use of this liner was actually as a sleep sack on a backpacking trip in Kauai. The temps did not drop below 70-degrees at night and I was sleeping in a tent. This was just enough warmth for the night and helped pull the moisture from my body post hike. It was much more comfortable to sleep in this rather than midwight thermals during the night. It packed well, was light and has washed well post-hike.

Comments about Sea To Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag Liner:
Please do not listen to the negative comments about this product. I just took my liner winter camping in Yosemite with two feet of snow around me. Through the night I never got cold and when I woke up there were inches of ice covering everything. I never even knew it got cold. I now take this with me everywhere to put in my normal bag. Definite great buy!!

Comments about Sea To Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag Liner:
My girlfriend and I just used these liners on a chilly weekend in the Whites (NH). I was skeptical about how warm these liners would keep us with our budget-based, thin, "30 degree" bags (50 degrees is probably more accurate) Fortunately when the temp dropped into the high 30's overnight we stayed incredibly warm. Not sure how these would do with our bags if we got below freezing, but I'll post an additional review once I find out.

Comments about Sea To Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag Liner:
Purchased this item for a REI trip to Peru this summer. Just spent 4 days "field-testing" it in the BWCA of northern Minnesota. Added to the warmth of my bag on the cool nights and took the clammy feeling away on the hot humid night. Was indeed money well spent.

Comments about Sea To Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag Liner:
I've never used it as a standalone bag, but always use it in combination with my sleeping bags for extra warmth and to keep the bags clean.
I haven't tested in extremely cold conditions to push the "temperature rating", but would suggest to the negative reviewer below that the issue could've been with the new marmot sleeping bag not meeting its rating..

Comments about Sea To Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag Liner:
Used the Reactor Extreme with a 35 Degree Slumberjack Superguide sleeping bag. I remained very comfortable in low 30s.
Packs up very small and is lightweight.

Comments about Sea To Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag Liner:
I went car camping with the boys and brought my new Marmot 40 degree bag and this new insert. I was exited to try it out to see how it performed. I had hoped I would be able to bring it as a main bag during this summer but will be returning it. I was in 30 degree weather for 3 days and froze. I figure a 40 degree bag and a 25 degree insert would be more than ample. I ended up having to use my summer thermals and emergency fleece (top/bottom). This insert did not even provide 1/2 the warmth rated. I would have been happy with just 10 degrees.
Now I'll have to find something heavy and I don't have the ounces to spare in the mountains.

Comments about Sea To Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag Liner:
I got this liner almost on a whim but have since really used the heck out of it. In Summer is makes a great great light sleeping system. In Winter with temps dropping to single digits where I live I include it in my zero back for that extra warmth that makes it so much easier to deal with. I typically will pull the sack up about chest high so i have some foot wiggle room in it and stay very very warm. It is one product that truly does help the rating on your sleeping back improve. The regular bag liner works great with Big Agnes sleep system matress bags. I also use this as a tiny sleeping bag during the summer months when you really dont need one but in higher elevations it gets a bit of night chill on. I found this to be an excellent product.

Comments about Sea To Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag Liner:
I purchased the Sea to Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag Liner from REI with the idea of increasing the warmth in my well used three season bag (When it was new, I believed it was rated as 15 degrees.)
Even though I do not like cold weather camping I decided to spend last night in a SNP hut to see what, if any, warmth the liner could add to an older sleeping bag. I was sleeping on a REI Trekker pad, in med weight long underwear (top and bottom), a hat, and a fleece pullover. The temperature got down to about 20 degrees F and I was freezing.
I found the Sea to Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag added little or no warmth to the sleeping bag. It did feel good and I'll keep it to try as a summer sleeping bag.
The 3 rating is because it does keep the bag cleaner, it felt good, it did come with a stuff sack, you can use the draw string to close the bag around your head, and I am hoping it can be used as an ultra light summer sleeping bag.
Incidentally, after I put on some more clothing, I toss a couple of Grabber Mega warmers in the sleeping bag with the liner and as soon as the warmers started to activate my legs and feet were comfortable the rest of the night.

Comments about Sea To Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Mummy Bag Liner:
I bought this the spring sale of 2010 to supplement my very old and worn out synthetic sleeping bag so I wouldn't need to buy a new bag just yet. I also hoped I could use it as a summer bag. To give a person an idea, the old bag is cold at 40 degrees now, though I can get through a night with spotty sleep. This liner does add insulation to my bag nicely, though I'd estimate it at adding 15 degrees. I've slept into the mid-30s with this and my bag, though I've also slept in a light jacket the same nights.
I won't be using this as a summer bag on its own, however. At the very least I would need to add some sort of emergency bivy to it because the liner doesn't block any wind whatsoever. That means lots of heat loss from convection. Maybe with a bivy AND a jacket I'll try it.
Lastly, for the 15 degree addition, this liner is heavy at 13 oz (the sack weighs about 1 oz). A top of the line down summer bag will weigh close to the same and keep me warmer. Granted, said bag costs a lot more.
So this liner has stretched the use of my old bag, giving me time to save up, but it hasn't worked as well as I hoped.
