Product Description
A classic 100% wool smooth weave tallit that is 30% lighter than a normal tallit. Rests nicely on the shoulders. The Kalil Lightweight Tallit is treated to resist stains and features wool corner reinforcements. This tallis is known as the Kalil Techelet, or Kelilas Yoffi outside of Israel.
Note that the sizing differs slightly from standard tallit sizes, with narrower widths (see table below), so that you have less tallit to bunch up on your shoulders.

Prima Lite Black-Striped Lightweight Tallit
This is a beautiful and comfortable tallit. The weave is tight like that of a traditional (rather than non-slip weave) tallit, with a luxurious feel. It hangs comfortably on my shoulders without slipping and drapes beautifully. The Prima Lite is a pleasure to wear and a beautiful enhancement to my davening. I ordered medium tzitzit and a Celeste atara, tied and sewn on beautifully by Ben's shop.

Light and nonslip
This tallit is indeed lighter than your regular tallit, folds quite compactly, and feels great on the shoulders. The threads on the side feel a little thin and delicate, but I guess that's the trade-off for a lightweight tallit. I bought a custom Atara which makes the tallit stay nicely on my head, and it was sewn on well by Ben's shop. Delivery was smooth, and Ben's shop sent many update emails at every step of the delivery process.
