I'm debating which liner material to use an a new quilt I have on order. The outer will be pertex quantum and the inner can be either pertex quantum 1.0 oz or taffeta 1.3 oz.

I would like to save weight and use the pertex for the liner, but have no experience with it on the inside, save having a windshirt that I loved. And yes 0.3 oz/sqy is significant to me, so consider that weight difference my main reason for looking to a lighter liner.

Have any of you used it for a quilt liner?

What do you see as the pros/cons of pertex as a liner?

I figure the dwr would wear off soon enough and its breathability would improve and be equal to taffeta.

Both seem equally comfy next to skin.

I have no answer for you, but you might try posting in the Make Your Own Gear section. The folks who read that my have an opinion on material choice.
