Technically yes, but the liner will not zip into a different shell's interface zipper. You can wear the liner as a mid-layer under any shell, just like you would wear any insulated mid-layer. However, you lose the integrated connection system and may experience fit or bunching issues since the liner was designed to pair specifically with its matching shell. For the best experience, use the liner with its intended shell or as a standalone piece.
