In reply to Jeremy Werlin. So far, my gut feeling is that it's similar to an R1/ 100 wt in overall warmth. A lot less bulky and less than half the weight, though.

Hi Paul,

I get that the Alpha fabric needs a windshell (or similar) to get max insulation value, but would you venture to say the warmth of the 90 gsm is similar to a midweight base layer or more like a Patagonia R1 when used with a shell? Thank you.

In reply to Scott. I don't see why not. I've worn fleeces to bed quite a bit and don't see why this would not work as well.

If you are a cold sleeper could this pull dual duty as active insulation while hiking and baselayer for sleeping?
