Looks like they're gonna accept orders from 9-10 central time this morning
Bought a 90g Brule last sale and have been so impressed. Sooo light and breathable while being so warm. Need a shell layer over top, but this is going to be my go to mid winter touring layer moving forward.
Thanks for the psa. Just ordered a brule. Looks to be well made. Stoked!
Thanks! I don't have anything made with Alpha Direct, so I grabbed a 90g and a 120g piece. Excited to try these out.
Bumping this cuz my brule 120g just arrived. Well made and super plush. I went with the scuba hood, kinda weird but I think it will grow on me. I’ll definitely get another piece when they do another run.

For those that have done this before, do these just become available at 8:00am? No preorder?
It’s all made to order. Orders open at 8am, but the item won’t be constructed until sometime in the next month or so.
Ok thanks
And at least last time around, the 8:00AM seemed semi loose. Likely someone was manually enabling each product 1 at a time starting at 8.
Really like my Brule hoodie in the 120gsm weight with scuba hood, although I haven't had occasion to wear it that often as it just hasn't been cold enough. That bad boy is *warm*. I think scuba hood makes sense for technical pieces vs the "hoodie-style" cross hood.
My wife's Amnicon in the high-loft wool blend (with cross hood) is really cool. Comfy for casual wear and I think the wool fights off the stink which could make it a really nice pick for longer trips.
I'm tempted to order one for myself...wish it came in another color just so we aren't matchey-matchey. Maybe I'll try the lower-loft version which comes in the "Apricot" color.
I think I've said this before, but I wish they offered non-hood versions...my primary ski layer is a non-hooded quarter zip Patagonia R1. I just don't use hoods on fleeces very often.
Yep, I wish they had no hood option. Hoods always get bunched up under my shell. I'm thinking this might be more of a casual piece for, still ordering.
Just got the email that they are going to accept orders tomorrow (Monday) morning at 8 central time
Received my 120gsm and 90gsm Brule tops. I'm blown away by how warm and comfortable they are, yet so incredibly light.
I'll be ordering another piece or two on Monday.
Looks like they're gonna accept orders tomorrow morning at 8 central time. Got a lot of use out of my alpha 120 beanie this winter
I got a devil track hoodie last round. Great piece of gear, windproof and supah soft.
A few days into my low-loft power-wool Amnicon and I've really enjoyed it so far.
Really happy to read that. I ordered several Brule tops during the past two sale days, and I absolutely love the warmth/weight. This morning I grabbed one of the Amnicon power-wool pieces and am looking forward to trying it out, as well.Quote:

what did you use the beanie for? i would assume wind just cuts through so it wouldn't be very warm but i could be wrongQuote:

I used it for trail running and general insulation on cold days this winter when I was knocking around in the parking lot, starting the snowmobiles, snow blowing, etc. In fact I wore it this past Saturday morning when I went out for a run in the little late season snow storm we had here along the front range.
Like you said, there's no wind resistance so it's purely for insulation. But the warmth and breathability is unbeatable when it's cold and calm out. Plus the material is fairly hydrophobic so it's easy to shake out if it gets wet with sweat and/or melted snow.
Gonna add it to my summer kit to wear under my shell's hood when the weather gets shitty this season also.
Hit them up on their contact page.Quote:

I've probably been wearing my low loft Amnicon 3-4 days a week since it arrived.
Thanks! Somehow I missed a notification about this next sale.Quote:

Late notice but they're taking orders for about another hour this morning
Just got an email saying that superior fleece is going to open for orders at 9am central time this morning
Only for Christmas delivery. They open up orders regularly until their capacity is full, then close it. That way you don’t have to deal with waitlists etc. And they get to know that they have time off.Quote:

Looks like they dropped the high loft version of the Amnicon but added a gray fabric in the low-loft as well as an option to do a two-color combo.
Brule colors look like they have changed around a lot--nice if anyone wants an Alpha Direct fleece but didn't care for the prior color/fabric weight options.
Still hoping they consider offering some non-hood options someday.
Just got an email that they're taking orders at 9am central today
I bought my wife her first piece last month and now she's hooked, too.
