How Much Warmth Does It Add?
Polartec Alpha Direct's lofted fibers trap body heat more effectively than traditional fleece while staying highly breathable. Used inside your bag, it meaningfully extends your comfort range into colder nights – a common strategy for turning a 3-season bag into a shoulder-season system.
Specifications
Material
100% recycled Polartec Alpha Direct fleece – hydrophobic fibers resist absorbing moisture and dry incredibly fast, keeping your bag's interior dry all night.
Size & Weight
Regular: 7.5 oz, fits sleepers up to 6'0". Long: 8.5 oz, fits sleepers up to 6'6". Both sizes compress into a tiny stuff sack – the ultimate space-saving warmth upgrade.
Functions
- Sleeping bag liner for added warmth and bag hygiene
- Can be used alone as an ultralight warm-weather quilt/bivy layer
- Moisture-wicking, fast-drying, breathable
Can You Use It Alone?
Yes – in summer conditions, many users sleep in the liner alone or pair it with a light blanket. Its Alpha Direct loft makes it surprisingly capable standalone in mild temps.
Compatibility & Selection
Works inside any adult mummy or rectangular sleeping bag. Choose Regular if you're 6'0" or under; choose Long if you're up to 6'6". The right size eliminates cold spots and maximizes comfort.
Comparison & Alternatives
Versus standard fleece or silk liners, Alpha Direct delivers dramatically better warmth-to-weight – 7.5 oz here does the work of heavier liners. Versus buying a warmer bag, this liner costs far less and adds flexibility across seasons.
