Alpha Direct Quilt Liner/Summer Quilt

[cmc4free]

We are in the process of finishing up a shell for the liners.

I think that's a great idea. Then you could use the AD90 liner as an actual liner to supplement the rating of an existing quilt and help keep the body funk off; you could use the liner by itself on the warmest nights; or you could use the liner and shell on slightly cooler nights, I'm guessing with a decent weight/volume savings over a traditional 40° or 50° quilt.

The JRB grid fleece liner makes a great summer quilt here in SE NC; I don’t know how much lighter the Alpha Direct would be. As a liner, I really like how the grid fleece just fills in the empty spots under my down quilt. Even aside from the extra insulation, it just feels warmer (cue cutesy snuggle-related language).

Do you find that the fleece snags on rough skin much?

I can’t say that I’ve ever really thought about that issue when using it, which suggests not. I don’t work outside or with my hands, though, so I’m probably pretty light on the whole rough skin thing, anyway.

any update on when this might be available? Interested in the alpha/shell combo for my summer kit.

We'll have 9 blue liners available the week after next along with shells.

I just finished up an alpha 90 top quilt. I went with 1.0 calendered hyperD face fabric. I have not tested it in any wind yet, but it's been very comfortable around 50F.

I would like to try a different shell, however. I've been using this quilt indoors, and the calendered 1.0hyperD is a bit noisy.

I like JRB's idea of making a liner and a shell. the alpha is very nice on its own indoors.
