    Marsupial Backpack Strap Cell Phone Pocket

    Anyone else use Marsupial's Backpack Strap cellphone pocket? I bought one last year and it's been an answered prayer for me. My phone gets used a lot (mainly navigation) so I'm constantly getting it out/putting it away. Having it readily available on my chest strap is so convenient. I used...

    Day pack for elk, mule deer and treestand hunting

    The Kuiu Venture series is great for day pack use, but I wouldn't use it for hauling meat or a tree stand. A MR Pop-up 3800, Pintler, Kuiu Pro 2300/3600, etc, would be over $200, but would be better options while keeping the price reasonable.

    Waterproof warm gloves

    Yeah, you're looking for the same holy grail that has eluded all of us. :) The best compromise I've found are the Kuiu Axis gloves. They're only water resistant, but have the perfect balance of warmth and dexterity for bowhunting IMO. I coat them with several layers of DWR treatment, and...

    Forloh Rain Gear

    Very interesting considering I asked the exact same question in Aug 2021 and never got an answer. Post is here: https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/forloh.206340/page-5 I see they added the "equal to" sign in front of the 35. In 2021 it just said "<35k +/mm Waterproof". There's no doubt...

    Early/Mid Season Pant with Hip Zips

    Yeah, for everyone who loves the Prana Zion, those pants look similar in cut, but with hip zips. Depending on their water resistance, durability, and quietness, they might be a good contender.

    Early/Mid Season Pant with Hip Zips

    Whoa, in-house hemming option?!? Awesome! I hope the rest of our clothing makers follow suit. Look forward to hearing your impressions of the SG Lites.

    Early/Mid Season Pant with Hip Zips

    The Kutana's I bought from one of the members here arrived a few days ago. They're exactly what I was looking for weight-wise, but I wish they had more stretch. They seem to have ok lateral stretch, but no vertical stretch. If the Sitka Traverse pants had hip zips I'd have bought them...

    FORLOH pack launched today!

    Come on, man, let's not make it so personal and hostile. Let's assume, for the sake of discussion, FORLOH is the greatest mfr of American made gear. They still have the challenge of mfg'ing in America where employee costs are significantly higher than elsewhere. That cost increase means the...

    Binocular Harness Head to Head

    Agree; I've never understood why they mount the RF pouch at the same height as the windicator bottle pouch and then smash them together nice and tight so you can't get the bottle in/out.

    Early/Mid Season Pant with Hip Zips

    I watched a video of the Foundry Corrugates and the material looked quite thick in it, but your picture makes them look pretty lightweight. Not doubt they dump heat faster than the Kuiu since the zipper is longer and there's no mesh. Do you run them with the knee pads all the time or just "as...

    Best Pants Under $100

    Prana Zion: Prana Zion's are popular, but I find them to be too tight/clingy and the overall function of the pants lacking with just a single side pocket that seems to be thrown on as an afterthought. The material is hard to beat - lightweight and stretchy with good water repellency. Kuhl...

    Early/Mid Season Pant with Hip Zips

    I appreciate all the feedback from everyone. Clearly the FL Corrugates are well liked, but I can't get over the weight of the material. They just seem too heavy for a warm/hot weather pant. They seem to be more of a competitor to the Kuiu Attacks - a do-it-all pant, but not great at anything...

    Early/Mid Season Pant with Hip Zips

    Awesome info, Chris! I don't think knee pads are a must. I've only had one pair of pants with pads and didn't care for them, but maybe the right pants would change my mind. Your comments ease my concerns about the Kutana's and confirm that the SG and FL pants aren't what I'm looking for...

    Early/Mid Season Pant with Hip Zips

    I actually looked at the SKRE pants, and they seem to fit the bill for what I'm looking for, but there wasn't a lot of feedback/reviews so it left a lot of questions. Your comments on the Corrugate match what I'd picked up from reviews - they just seem too heavy. I was leaning heavily toward...

    Early/Mid Season Pant with Hip Zips

    As the title indicates, I'm looking for pants that will work from 40 - 80+ degree temps WITH hip zips. Preferably stretch fabric, quiet for bowhunting, with good abrasion resistance. I've been doing a lot of research lately on this subject, but can't seem to find a clear winner. Kuiu Kutana -...

    National red flag law

    Agreed. It was stunning to learn that the cops didn't enter the school for nearly an hour. WTF? What's the purpose of funding a SWAT team if they're going to wait until it's "safe"? Can't imagine being a parent standing there watching the cops do nothing while your child is at risk.

    National red flag law

    I can't speak intelligently about the Mental Health programs in the 80's, but I certainly concur that mental health is one of the major common denominators for this issue. Unfortunately, one of the things I've heard is that many of our folks with mental health issues don't want to be bothered -...
