Any updates on the Strongfleece 235 out there? I currently run the gila for my baselayer and the pro merino 200 on top of that. I have a lightweight primaloft vest as my final layer before I'd throw a puffy on, but would like to replace the vest with a jacket. I'm mainly wondering if you are...
The pro merino has a slightly looser fit in the arms which I like and is prob my favorite Kuiu product. It's enough warmth when layered over my gila baselayer and starting from camp on a 40 degree morning, but you won't overheat when it gets up into the 60s. Hood is a perfect fit as well.
My buddy sunk his knife into his calf on the first cut of a downed bull. There were 4 of us on that trip. We cleaned it out as best we could with alcohol and then bandaged it with gauze pads and what not yo stop the bleeding. We were roughly 6 miles in. He was a trooper and hobbled out of there...
As frustrating as it may be, I would recommend being willing to mix and match with other brands. I have several UA pieces, sitka, and kuiu. Now that I've got it dialed in for lightweight gear and comfort, I find my hunts to be much more comfortable. Best of luck!
I've got the 10x42s and like everything about them. The only complaint I have is the eyepieces don't fit my eyes great even when I have them all the way out which is how I tend to run all my binos.
