    Breathable wind layer for hiking

    I’ve been wearing the Hill People Gear Windcheater. Great pocket layout if wearing a pack. Good durability even going through brush. Good breathability

    longevity of Climashield Apex and other synthetic insulation

    Cold feet

    Sounds like a combination of problems. The Muck boots don’t breathe so moisture builds up and your socks get damp. So your feet feel cold. I started using Wiggy’s socks in my Alpha Burly’s. They are built like a sleeping bag to insulate but wick moisture away from your feet. Below freezing I’m...

    Best Value Mid-Layer Upper Piece/Jacket?

    I might have to check out the Condor. I have an old polypro top I’ve worn since the 90’s that is getting a bit thin.

    any interest in a warm/light over-bootie for glassing in cold weather?

    Best Value Mid-Layer Upper Piece/Jacket?

    Sweater + shell vs single big jacket

    Military PCU gear

    I’ve been curious about this myself. Been wondering other than weight if there is much of a difference from dedicated hunting brands in performance.

    FNG from Ohio

    Hi there—FNG from Ohio. I usually hang over at BCUSA and ages before that at the oddity known as the Forums of Ramanon (long gone). My boys are getting older and getting me back into hunting more so I thought I’d come check out the excitement over here. Nathan
