If you’d like them cheap, Austria will deliver.

Do you ooze filth when you sleep? Everybody does if they’ve had a tough hike and washing possibilities are limited. The sleeping bag will suck in all this and it is a tricky thing to wash, which is a rather crap combo. But worry not, the sleeping bag liner will save you. If you’d like them cheap, Austria will deliver.
Features and use
The idea is that you put the liner inside your sleeping bag and then crawl in there. Thus, the sweat and other yuck will be caught by the liner, which is easy to wash. You don’t have to ruin the sleeping bag’s lovely warmth by washing it.
The idea is simple but there are many ways to do it. Here you have Austrian military visions in green and white. This batch has liners from various generations and they differ from each other to some extent. The green ones have a button closure, and the white ones either have a zipper, or you just simply crawl inside. Quite nice with the Austrian stalker’s sleeping bag but also suitable for other sleeping bags.
Materials
Some of these have a tag telling that they are 100% cotton but many don’t have any info on the materials. All of them are probably at least a cotton blend. The green liners are made from thicker fabric than the white ones. Some of the white ones are made from very smooth fabric and others are a bit coarser.
Sizing
The white liners are bigger than the green ones. So, smaller folks might want to buy a green one. The white liners are c. 225 cm (7’4.6”) long and c. 80 cm (31.5”) wide all the way. The green ones are c. 200 cm (6’6.7”) long and their width at the shoulders is c. 75 cm (29.5”) but they taper down quite a bit towards the feet. The size can vary a bit within the same color as well.
Condition
Austrian military surplus, some used very little, some a bit more. The shade of the green sleeping bag liners varies from darker to lighter. Some of the white ones are actually white, others cream-colored. All of them are clean and perfectly serviceable.
Austrian surplus
Functional, neutral, clean. That's what the Austrian Bundesheer gear is made of. Our Austrian surplus revolves mostly around the Anzug 75 and Anzug 03 clothing systems, but who knows, maybe the "Tarnanzug Neu" will make it's appearance if the Austrians decide to clear the stocks in the future. Get your OD gear while the stocks last.
After the Second World War the Austrian soldier looked like a weird mixture of Allies and Germans; the M1 style helmet and general profile really tried to bring that NATO vibe up, but a lot of the gear and even the dotted camouflage pattern looked surprisingly much like WW2 German issue. In the 70s they took a major leap towards NATO with the introduction of the all-green Anzug 75 clothing and equipment system closely inspired by the American equivalents, finally letting go of the "old stuff". The Anzug 03 brought the game up to date with some changes in effort to modernize the whole thing. Now the Bundesheer is again moving over to camouflage.

I'm a bit disappointed, but I knew that the margin was a bit tight when I purchased the liners. On the plus side, my wife and daughter fit inside just fine.
