Primaloft Comforter Sets Ratings and Reviews

Everyone loves down bedding – it’s considered the best option for a luxurious night’s sleep. Most down Primaloft comforters come in white color – usually with a decorative pattern. Usually most stores only carry white down bedding and to add color they sell duvets to fit their down Primaloft comforters. If you want to buy a color down Primaloft comforter and skip using a duvet your options start to become limited. Typically catalogs and websites will be the best source for these hard to find pieces of down bedding. Why Can’t I Find Color Down Primaloft comforters In Stores? Most department stores carry only white down Primaloft comforters because they also sell decorative duvet covers that are meant to fit their basic Primaloft comforters. Typically, the duvets are sold as sets and include bed shams. Sometimes these fashion duvets also have matching accessory pieces like euro shams or boudoir covers. If you don’t find a duvet at the store you can buy one online or in a catalog – just make sure you know your bedding measurements. What’s Available? Most color down Primaloft comforters run average in size and usually have a lower thread count range when compared to other bedding. Typically these color down Primaloft comforters feature a sewn thru design which is great because it prevents the fills from shifting. Colored down Primaloft comforters usually have a thread count in the 230 range which is great for most consumers. It is very common that these color Primaloft comforters use a 100% cotton fabric to make sure the down does not leak out. Can I Still Cover It? Sometimes when buying a colorized down Primaloft comforter you can find a great deal on a color that you don’t like but know that they can be covered up. Just like you would add a duvet cover to a white down Primaloft comforter the same can be down for the down Primaloft comforter in colors. What Colors Are Available? Most catalogs and online specialty shops will use a basic range of down Primaloft comforter colors like ivory, taupe, tan, sage, blue, chocolate and some deeper reds (mostly transitional colors – not too traditional – not too funky). Sometimes the bedding catalogs will showcase a hot fashion color and if you like that color buy them while you can – they are in then they are out. If you do end up buying a colored Primaloft comforter where you don’t love the color – try and buy one lighter in color unless the fabric you are covering the original with is very dark. What Do They Cost? Because consumers are fickle and can change their color desires frequently – many color down Primaloft comforters feature a price premium to cover the ones that don’t sell. After all the hot pink Primaloft comforter in 2008 is not the same as the ‘it’ color of 2011. So you should expect to pay about 10% more for the color down Primaloft comforter. Of note is that you don’t need a duvet – so you will save money in that regard. Where To Buy? If possible buying from a manufacturer direct like DOWNLITE, Cuddledown, The Company Store is the best way to lock in deals. Typically, these companies like to roll out their spring color Primaloft comforters around April to May. Most of these lightweight color down Primaloft comforters go on sale at the end of summer (or when back to school sales wind down).

I am looking for some thoughts on sleeping bag arrangments. I am going on a 6-day climbing trip in the Southern Talkeetnas (southcentral Alaska) at the end of June. We will be staying in a non-heated (but insulated) hut most nights, but possibly camping on a glacier for a night or two as well. I am debating the following options:
- 40deg North Face Scorpio bag (primaloft) with silk liner [1lb 12oz]
- two nested North Face Scorpio bags (I have two) [2lb 11oz]
- 15deg Marmot down bag [3lb 7oz]
I sleep relatively warm (I wear all my clothes and use hot water bottles if need be), but I dont like sleeping cold for a week straight.
Anyone have any experience with nesting two bags together? What system would you take?
Haha, Lizard King, that is so funny you mentioned the Mint Hut…that is where we will be staying. Climbing around the Mint Glacier for a few days mostly. I have spent a night there before and a night by Upper Reed Lake nearby. I remember it was cold and rainy, like high 30s. If you have any other info about the Mint area (any route info for nearby climbs, tips, etc.) let me know…I think I have done my research well and I remember some from last time I was there, but I’m always up for more info.

Unofrtunately I can’t buy a new bag right now, or I would go with the Mountain Hardwear Ultralamina 15.

I’ve heard that thermoloft and primaloft are the two best, but have no idea which one i should purchase when buying snowboarding gloves. i need the warmest one, cuz my hands get very cold during the day.
anyone know which one is better, and if you think a different one besides these two is better, let me know!
thanks!

Last winter I got really bad frost bite on my feet, legs and hands. My feet aren’t handling the winter well this year. Any suggestions for bots that are: warm (can handle -40 temps), waterproof, durable, has good traction and don’t way a ton. I walk to and from class (10-30 min at a time) and need to be able to go through slush, ice and light snow. Also, can use when it is butt a** cold out. Thanks for your advice.

So far I heard about Sorel’s and Keen Vale… details about the boots grams of thinsulate, primaloft etc. would help/ but not needed.

I just got a Hetch Stretchy North Face parka (Gore-Tex and Primaloft). This is my first non-down parka. With down, all the way down to below zero, I just wear a thin polyester base layer and a mountain weight Hot Chili top. This jacket just feels so thin…will this be adequate, or do I need to add a fleece? I am skiing in the Northeast. So, for example, this weekend will be maybe 5 to 10 F plus wind chill.

I need help finding a cheaper alternative type of jacket that north face makes. Its called a plasma thermal jacket, has some Primaloft One insulation plasma substance sewn inside that helps keep you really warm. Here is a link

The jacket looks thin and not like a bubble jacket. I would purchase it but 0 for a jacket is a bit steep for me. I was wondering anyone know where I can go online or at a store for a cheaper jacket that is like this. It doesnt have to be a name brand, i just want to spend at the most 0. My friend says Columbia the jacket company makes a jacket with the same style but i dont know if it has the special plasma thermal technology inside that keeps you warm.

Hey all ! I am trying to decide on the Mountain Hardware Cloud jacket versus the Mountain Hardware Rosette Parka – the first is Gore Tex with less insulation (regular polyester), the second Conduit with Primaloft (synthetic down). Which works better for a mix if east coast / west coast skiing and trudging in the backcountry?
