    Honest Initial Review of 2 Puffys: SG Grumman vs Rab Electron

    I agree the Rab might be too warm for some applications and something like the Grumman or even less fill might be more suitable. Clothing preference is like pack preference. Everybody has a different body shape and needs. It’s nice to have great optIons such as these.

    Honest Initial Review of 2 Puffys: SG Grumman vs Rab Electron

    I will say I obsessed over this for too many hours looking at all the specs and as many companies as I could find. I looked hard at the Montbell also, they look really well made and fairly priced. The reason I chose Rab over Montbell was to get the treated down. I wanted as versatile of a...

    Honest Initial Review of 2 Puffys: SG Grumman vs Rab Electron

    The Rab is a little longer than the Grumman, but not much. It’s not a perfect comparison as I have an XL Rab and L Grumman. The Rab XL fits more like a slightly loose large. The Grumman has nice length to it and can cover your backside when sitting glassing. The advantage of the Rab is the...

    Honest Initial Review of 2 Puffys: SG Grumman vs Rab Electron

    I’ve been in the market for a new all around down puffy that can be used in town and in the pack hunting. I did a lot of research looking at what I thought had the best specs. My previous jacket is a Patagonia down sweater, while a great jacket it is getting worn out. I wanted it’s...

    Can someone post up pics of the DH lite color at home? SG website photos appear more of a greenish grey.

    WM Alpinlite vs Badger MF

    The big difference is overall weight, fill weight and circumference. Badger has more down. Alpinlite has lighterweight construction. Based on your size I would think the alpinlite would be roomy enough. The Badger will be slightly roomier but that can come at a cost as you have to warm up more...

    ONE jacket to get through it ALL??

    There is no “one” coat I’ve ever found. Of your choices the Solitude is going to be much warmer than the Catalyst, but will be too warm for active pursuits and Spring Turkey. Don’t overlook the furnace baselayer set from FL. I don’t consider the Sawtooth to be a warm piece at all. It’s a very...

    FL Brooks under The FL Uncompadre Puffy?

    I think your idea is sound and would probably work. IMO I’d choose a different down puffy though. I do love first lite but feel like the brooks is lacking down fill if you want to use for late season. Even though they are advertised as similar fill weight to my casual wear Patagonia down...

    What? No Grumman Vest in the solid darker grey? Those Dehaviland Lite look like a solid pant. Somebody who has both the DH and DH lite please comment on the noise of the Nylon of the DH lite vs the Poly/Nylon blend if the DH pant.

    Stellar Equipment Down Jackets? Any good?

    Thanks that’s helpful for comparison. My current puffy is a Patagonia down sweater that has ~3oz of 800 and that’s my everyday winter jacket in below freezing temps. I’d like to upgrade to a slightly warmer hoody, so I’m checking all available options. I’m not thinking the Stellar is my best...

    Stellar Equipment Down Jackets? Any good?

    I’m not sure there is anything especially unique. They have a 1000 fill ultralight down with dwr coated down and shell that looks pretty nice. I’m not sure if it would be any warmer that the SG Grumman. I just kept seeing ads pop up and wondered if it was a legitimate company with nice gear...

    Stellar Equipment Down Jackets? Any good?

    I'm not sure if I'm bold enough to be the first one to go in on one. It's not so easy to buy from a company that doesn't have great representation in North America. Hard to feel super confident when you may have to ship a return or warranty issue back to Europe. I also would like to support...

    Stellar Equipment Down Jackets? Any good?

    I recently came across some Ads for this company out of Sweden called Stellar Equipment. They have some down garments that have specs that would compete with anything out there currently. Does anyone have any experience with this company? I'm considering trying out that 1000 fill ultralight...

    Kenai Ultra vs Uncompaghre vs Kelvin Lite?

    Seems like there’s a lot of fans of the kenai ultra...can those of you who’ve also had the kuiu quilted snap shirt comment on how the kenai compares to it. I have the kuiu snap shirt which is like my daily Mr Rogers house sweater. Love that thing. I’d like to get a feel for how warm the kenai...

    Thoughts on cold weather whitetail system

    I have both stratus and fanatic sets with several seasons of use in Michigan. Fanatic is very warm like you won’t want to use it over 40 deg warm but it’s very comfortable. Its good for me from 0-40 deg. The Stratus when layered correctly is more versatile mid season from say 20-60 degrees...
