    Are you looking to buy or make something?

    Whether buying or making, I prefer just plain and natural hemp or cotton

    With liners I don't feel the need for a 'stay-dry' top of fleece or suedecloth, and plus artificial fabrics will add to the hotness factor.

    I also don't find it necessary to have PUL or any other waterproofing layer for just a liner, but that also would depend on the individual.

    yeah, thanks phineas. i was looking at them with all their artificial fabrics and it just didn't appeal to me. i should make them, but i just know i'll never get around to it (...story of my life). so maybe buying them is better for me.

    i'll look out for the natural fibres.....

    Did you have wings with snaps?

    Or what you can do is put a "grippy" fabric on the bottom, such as courdory (sp?)
