    Sitka Arrowhead Equipment MDWi Hoody Review, By Mike Moore

    I've washed mine in cold w/ Nikwax Techwash and then air dried it—no shrinkage; can't help w/ the XXL, maybe give them a call. Usually if you just try stuff on at home, they'll give you a full refund if you don't like the fit

    three day trip- under 30 lbs with food and water :)

    Well I guess I should update this thread. I'm no longer using the Leupold 20X spotter or the Kramer tripod, instead I'm using a Swaro ATX and an Aziak tripod. This change added 2 lbs weight, but better optics and I can shoot off the Aziak (with a Spartan Davros head). Everything else remains...

    three day trip- under 30 lbs with food and water :)

    Yeah it would work; the Hyperlite keeps the meal warmer as it's insulated though.

    Muscular Endurance for Mountain Athletes

    The two hills I'm using has me on my toes (calves fully engaged) probably 25-35% of the route; thankfully not 25-35% straight—nicely sprinkled out instead. I was purposely trying to avoid something so steep that you're on your toes the entire way—you'd have calves like Conan :D, but a lot...

    Anyone solo backcountry hunting over the age of 60?

    Ouch! Glad you made it out safely. Not just old guys, but anyone venturing into the backcountry should have an inReach or some sat comms- everyone.

    Muscular Endurance for Mountain Athletes

    This Traditional endurance training practice derives the ME training effect by doing high-intensity (Z3 and Z4) interval training. When exercising in these high-intensity zones for many minutes, the muscles’ FTa fibers are getting a similar training stimulus as they receive when we isolate them...

    Ambient / Active insulation w pit zips?

    As a few guys have said the Sitka 75 hoodies (60 is discontinued) are "mapped" with a very light grid fleece along the entire length of the arm pits; it's an easier and lighter solution than zips The other option, already mentioned as well, is a light "naked" Alpha/Evolve with a light windshirt...

    Got home last night. We had a great trip; my buddy killed a buck and a doe in the same herd. I was looking for something big and finally found him Sunday evening. The lone buck was on a mission and we couldn't catch him. Turned out he slipped off the property we were hunting onto some winter...
