Though there are a few winter-based threads in the catalog, there is no single all-encompassing one, so I'll make this as such.

What is the best sleeping bag liner I can buy at or under $50?

Just get a fleece bag! It'll add like 10-15ºF to your sleebin bag rating. I use an L.L.Bean one with a 20º Browning bag and it's a great combo. the fleece is cumpfier'n a horse's cunt, and washes easily so it keeps my sleeping bag clean. just don't put it in the dryer! dryers fuck fleece up.

Don''t fleece liners usually weigh at least 2-3 pounds if not more? I should have mentioned that I'm putting together a long-trail pack, so weight is a top priority

you won't find a good weight/warmth ratio with a liner.

go to costco instead and buy one of their synthetic filled "totally not primaloft" sweaters. it's like $20 and weighs about 10oz depending on which model you get. a dry insulating layer to change into while at camp/sleeping will help a great deal towards keeping you warm.

My most pressing concern is heat loss through my feet: even with several layers of wool & cotton socks, when left idle my feet tend to get uncomfortably cold at night, especially in sub-freezing temperatures, even with a 20 F bag. The rest of my body, even my hands, usually fare fairly well, it's just my damned feet that are and have always been my problem

Homeless in London a few years ago, cold at night.
Stick the bottom of your sleeping bag (your feet) in a bin-bag.
Toasty warm feet all night.

Does this not cause much sweat?

OP says a 2-3 lbs fleece liner is too heavy. You recommend a 4 lbs wool blanket. I agree they are comfy as hell, but not what OP is looking for. (On a side note you can get 80% wool blankets from harbor freight for like $5US).

My advice is to not try and make your summer bag into a winter bag. No matter what you do it will not work as well as a dedicated winter bag. If you are worried about weight get a down bag.

I understand that: I need state the obvious here and say that weight isn't particularly as important in the winter, since it's less warm and makes one less prone to sweating and water loss. Regardless: I am not looking for some space-aged bag, and I am a college student, so I have a fairly limited budget. Though if I had the means, I would absolutely buy a down bag.

Poor circulation? In my 0F bag and wool socks over synthetic socks I've been fine down to 20F.

Get the wool, cut it to size and stitch a foot bag to save weight.

There's why: a 0 F bag in 20 degrees is not particularly comperable to sub-20's in a 20 F bag

Can I use a single hard shell for all seasons? I alpine ski in the winter (20% or so off-piste) and hike/light backpack for 3 seasons.
Basically, if I properly layer in the winter can I ditch my 3 in 1 ski jacket for a hard shell that'll double as a comfortable spring/summer/fall rain jacket?

Just get the OP pic then, it's probably the best option.

Anyone got a thermolite? I'm thinking of getting one as a summer sleeping bag.

Oi niggers I'm going camping the in North GA mountains, checked the temps and it'll be around 30-50 probably no snow though. Suggestions? Plan on using a Eurika single person tent with a Klymit Static V pad and US military sleeping bag (the OD bit, no outer bivy or cold weather layer.) with a fleece liner maybe.

Will that be warm enough? It's more like 3 season weather than full winter cus it's so far north. Also yes I know, no cotton, and I'm getting some wool gear in addition to nylon and polyester.

Tips?

Nope

I would be more than fine with what you got there, without the tent.

fleece and wool are basically very similar thermally. fleece dries something like 8 times faster though.

But wool can still be warm when wet.
