Liquid Knit

it amazes me that they push and sell so much Liquid Knit in the winter. If you wear pants made of this fabric in even a moderately chilly climate, your little legs are going to freeze. That lightweight, slick fabric transfers cold like an aluminum Coke can.

The tops are nice for layering but I turn blue thinking of wearing LK pants. Do you Northerners wear them in winter?

I tried wearing liquid knit pants one time when it was cold. Never again, I froze.

I own one pair that I will wear on a warmer Spring day. For me they are to warm to wear in the Summer too.

I do like some of the liquid knit tops. Easy to wear with sweaters and jackets.

Just wish the sizing was not all over the place. Hard to trust the size chart

@Kachina624 And...don't forget the static SPARKS your body throws off from wearing synthetics in DRY, COLD weather...(!!) di

Well I'm in the Midwest and no way would I be wearing liquid knit pants in the winter ! I have liquid knit tops that I will wear in the winter but with a coat. I've only ever purchased one pair of liquid knit pants and sent them back. They were to thin and didn't fit well for me. They are predicting temps in the 40's next week so the weather is definitely moving towards winter.

@Kachina624 What do you think they could sell to make everyone be interested in the same thing at the same time? There's not a day in my usual life during which I'd west the pants I used to wear when I lived in the Northeast winters- not even for an hour on our coldest mornings!

That's funny @Kachina624 . I don't have the pants in LK but it's the same with the tops and being a northerner I shy away from them in winter. If I do wear one I have to wear a sweater over it but they still feel cold to the skin. I do find them comfortable in the warmer weather though.

No, your correct, not a winter item. Her tops are too hot in the summer time. They do wash and come out of the dryer in a few minutes with no ironing required, and no wrinkling with wear. I own some of her clothing but very aware of the tempature outside.

Liquid knit pants are much too thin, even though she touts a "pant weight." And yes they are too cold for winter wear, and would be too hot in the summer, being 95% polyester. I want my pants to be more substantial than that, even in the summer.

@Kachina624 I do wear my SG liquid knit pants all year. And believe me, Minnesota gets cold in the winter. Not a problem at all. Naturally, I wear coats over them.

I'm in the Midwest and can't stand the thought of putting on my gravel liquid knit type tops as they are cold to the touch! No thanks! Bring on the sweatshirts!

Generally, I'm not a fan of liqud knit .... no matter what the weight of the fabric.

Tried it .... didn't like it.

@Kachina624 I'm a Northerner....and no, I absolutely do not wear Susan Graver liquid knit. You're right, one would freeze wearing it. There's no warmth or body to the fabric. I like her thicker ponte knit for the all seasons except summer.
