Never a wrinkle when I got to my destination. And still know wrinkles on my return! Despite all the time those tops spent in a suitcase!!!!! I don't find liquid knit overly warm at all. Haven't tried Slinky brand.
I agree with you ... I don't find them to be too warm.
I shortened the sleeves on all my LK 3/4 sleeve tops and have been wearing them all summer as t-shirts.. They are really comfortable in the hot weather ... and I'm frequently asked where I got the shirts. They stay "fresh" looking even on the most humid days.

I have not tried Slinky but I do have one Susan Graver dress. I have only worn it once. It feels heavy to me. I like lighter material. This was over 5 years ago. Her material may be a little different now.

Good descriptions & comparison!
I really like Slinky & CT and own many things in those fabrics. I've only owned one top in Liquid Knit. It was lighter weight than either Slinky or CT. I think Liquid Knit might come in different weights but I am not sure.
