Army Field Liner

[Dingus Khan]

How do they compare to Micro Puff P.O, MB UL inner liner or MH Compressor type of jackets in terms of warmth?
I have been looking at replacing an insulating layer and the Field Liner was a smack in the face "DUH - why didn't you think of that one first?"

I have read on WB they work fine but you do have to modify them or is that the pants?

[Dingus Khan]

i don't think you have to do anything to them... i have not seen or worn the pants though`

I think the field jacket liner is made of the same material the poncho liner is made of- and I've used a poncho liner as my underquilt for the last two cold weather trips- made it down to about 28 deg's if I remember correctly- and only the slightest chill felt while sleeping- but I like it that way

you do have the option of sewing the armpits shut with the field liner, in regards to modification.

I would add a piece into the arm pit area instead of sewing the opening shut- If the opening is sewed shut I think it would greatly reduce the range of motion without pulling on the rest of the liner

The field jacket liner/pants are made from the same material as the poncho liner. I love both my field jacket liner and my poncho liner. I can't speak as to how they compare to the micro puff or others mentioned but they work great as liners and weight/warmth/cost ratio is very good imho.

I would leave the armpits alone. I really like having that area vented out, especially considering the field jacket liner gets warm quick if you are moving.

nice, thanks for the info guys, i'll be looking for one shortly...

Gr8rh8tr, how much does the field jacket liner weigh?
