I had a chance to use my uber lightweight Lobtree Shift Alpha Direct 60 Hoodie and Alpha Direct 90 Thermal Legging on a shiverfest backpacking trip and a spring whitewater canoe trip.
I wore the top and bottom in camp during the cool evening under the protection of a shell.
Once the sun fell, both of my trips saw temperatures drop below freezing at night so I sleep in the Alpha Direct garments--with a forecast of have a dozen degrees below freezing Celsius I didn't want to be cold.
Well made. Nice fit and form. Hoodie was super for sleeping in.
I'll be taking these tops and bottom on all my future trips!
Nice and light hoodie. Large a little short in the torso for 6' 190lb male, but otherwise good - well described as a unisex athletic fit.
Everything was perfect and quickly shipped out.
Wonderful small business, great customer service and loving the first pieces I got (90 leggings and 60 hoody). I’m just shy of 6’1” and about 200lbs and I usually wear a large shirt and the large hoody fits well (just a bit baggy like I like) . I usually wear pants with a 33 waist and unfortunately the large is too big and I’m returning for a medium which they’ve been happy to help with. The quality of construction looks superb. I would definitely recommend!
Fantastic quality, the best!
