The Lamilite Liner Jacket: Warm Even When Wet

LINER JACKET

Arguably TOO warm

I've had one of these for years, it was an impulse buy when I was in Grand Junction. It is lining a waterproof shell. This combo is insanely warm, and waterproof. I live in MO, winter temps do get below zero at night, I've never had a cold torso while using this product.

Great liner

Does exactly what is needed. Well-built and work.

Best liner I’ve found.

With weather and winds in interior Alaska dipping down below zero frequently, I found myself disappointed with most commercial liners as they don’t move moister away from your body leaving you cold if you sweat at all.

With this liner. Especially in periods where you have to work, and then idle, I have found I stay much warmer. I wear under all my army gear or zipped into the jacket. As a stand-alone jacket or under a vest it will keep you warm and windproof down to 20 or so (alone) and down to zero with a good vest.

I initially started making the liner jacket and vest marketing them to the sailing market because these Lamilite garments still keep you warm if you get wet. Having sailed for 6 years and been a liveaboard for a year and a half I can tell you that you will get wet. But as time tells you the greatest number of customers for these garments has not been from the sailing market. I did have them for myself when I sailed and never was cold regardless of being wet. That was the motivation to make them.

The greatest number of customers do not use them on boats. They are hunters, backpackers, field workers, etc.

They are made with the same nylon as sleeping bags and L-3 Lamilite. The materials allow all of your perspiration while in a vapor stated to move away from your body, which happens while you are active. Once you stop and rest you stay warm because you are dry. [Nicks comment]

If you go to the liner page on the website and scroll down there are a large number of testimonials, I had no knowledge of.

The liner jacket weighs between 16 and 25 ounces depending upon size and the vest half that. They are not tightly fitting, and they are not supposed to be because they will not restrict movement. Actually, they are so light you forget you are wearing them.

For those of you who have Lamilite socks these garments are made with the same combination of materials.

Maybe those in the marine market will finally see the benefit of these garments on their boats.
