Alpaca Mid Layers and Base Layers Discount – Arms of Andes

Thanks Melissa,

What are the weights of your hoodies?  You know how important that is to us on BPL….. Thx

Hi John!
Yes, of course. Please see weights below. I will have the weight of the base layers end of this month since we ran out of stock we are waiting on the new one.

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Men mid layer large zip neck: 575 gram</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Men mid layer medium zip neck: 545 gram</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Men mid layer medium hoodie: 644 gram</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Men mid layer large hoodie: 665 gram</span>

Am I reading this as …..

644 grams for the medium 420 hoodie?

545 grams for the medium 230 hoodie?

Thx

Hi John,

Sort of.

The base layers 230 g/m2 hoodie have not been weighed yet since the new stock is coming end of this month.

For the 420 hoodie medium, it is 644 grams. Sorry for the confusion. I hope this helps.

Please let me know if you more questions.

I understand the appeal but just think you may be one the wrong site. this is BPL.

This post is useful for hunting BPL people like myself.  Until someone makes quiet puffy stuff, alpaca fiber might be lightest insulation option for hunting.  In addition to being warmer than other wool, the non-stink factor means I can buy fewer items and bring fewer items on long backcountry hunts.

The BPL factor would be if someone else made a 420g alpaca fiber shirt that was lighter due to more efficient construction, but 575 grams does not sound bad for a large long sleeve shirt with 420g material.  I’m going to try one.

Hi Carlos, what site would you recommend?

Like the above said. Hunters, Bushcrafters, hammock campers. Basically people less worried about every gram and ounce. I think some people here that are multisport would be more interested, but for the diehard people this wont be very drawing due to the weights. Still interesting for sure and i will be watching where it goes in the future.

If you look at the base layers in the gear list section of this site you will see what i mean.

Thank you for the tips! I really appreciate it and I will look into it.

Dear Melissa, do you have by chance any update for the weight of your base layers? Parcticularly the weight of the 230 g/m² half zip neck would be of interest to me.

Thanks a lot and best regards!
