    The T and K have a standard 1000D Cordura fabric face. They are not silent like fleece, but they do quiet down a bit when broken in.

    T&K Hunting Gear Gaiter Review, By Matt Cashell

    There are two calf sizes available, M/L and L/XL. The cool part is there is enough Velcro to really customize the fit. Definitely go for the M/L if you have thinner calves.

    T&K Hunting Gear Gaiter Review, By Matt Cashell

    I have thrown away a pile of OR crocs over the years. I usually ran into the velcro closure at the toe delaminating within the season. I would shoe-goo it back to together, but then the velcro wouldn't stick, etc. Also, the fit is kind of weird on me and the strap buckle ends up so low on my...

    These things are burly. Ounce counters will probably stick with replacing lighter-duty gaiters every season or two, but gear abusers are really going to appreciate the durability of the T and Ks.

    Have you ever seen a wolverine in the Lower 48?

    Ive seen a few in Western Montana. One ran right up to me and my buddy and our string of horses. It was pretty cool.

    NX8 4x32x50 vs ATACR 4-16-42

    The 4-16x50 SFP and 4-16x42 FFP ATACRs are optically excellent, IMO.

    Tricer Tripod, Head, and Bino Adapter Review, By Matt Cashell

    Zeiss "Lifetime" Warranty - refusal to stand behind its product

    I’m not defending Zeiss’ customer service, but this is a curious case. I have never heard of optics of any type “developing scratches.” I have heard of coating failures, although those typically present as “bubbles” or spots. Scratches are, as the term implies, caused by physical contact...

    My take is included here: https://www.rokslide.com/kowa-prominar-66a-review/ I don’t think most hunters will see a benefit of using the extender in most conditions.
