I wonder if some of it is because several pieces werent released to this fall after folks were done buying? Or if they kept adding pieces to use up inventory?
I got an evo and took it on a late season hunt paired with an ambient. It did its job on the wind just fine. I was able to ride a wheeler no issues in the 20s and 30s with the two combined. I hiked in it solo and with the ambient and was pleased. I also tried my rain jack (early 2010s sitka...
Id definitely say the 100 is closer to the hvy wgt than the 60. The 100 may be a little less warm than the hvy wgt because of breathability in my opinion.

Ha well Im not keeping all three… just had to try them.
I do agree the 60 would be nice in the summer and maybe early fall. Im struggling on where to draw the temp line for it vs just use the 100 for everything. The 150 is for sure going back.

I had a very similar positive experience with my 100 in 4th season. I havent found any snags after backpacking through oak brush. Im a big fan of the 100.
I ordered a 60 UL a 100 and a 150 as we dont have a dealer where I live. Im struggling on the 60. It seems so thin that I wonder what the use case scenario is? Im thinking summer camping and maybe early September elk. I typically wear a core lt hoody base layer and I guess I could drop that and...
Saw one 3-4 year old buck pushing some does around today in the middle of the afternoon. I only had to wear a tshirt in the warm weather today

My kenai may have lost some loft but it definitely wasnt as thick or firm as the 150. It seemed very comparable to the 100 jacket. Given that the ambient is synthetic too, it wont compress all that well either. Definitely more than a fleece since it has some loft. Hope that helps.

Ive hunted Spain with my wife and it was fantastic (Trophy Hunting Spain). My buddy just hunted Austria and love it but as others have mentioned, the price difference is large. Its only gotten worse with conflict in the middle east for the mountain hunters and reduced NR opportunity.
In Spain...
I ordered the 60 UL, 100 full zip and the 150 jacket to compare on sale and return what I wont need. The 150 is noticeably thicker/heavier than the 100. They definitely have different operating temp ranges in my opinion which doesnt help me weed them out. I thought there would be quite a bit of...
I d been looking at a pair. Are hoffman pac boots really 10 lbs? Thats twice the listed weight of schnees. Whats driving that difference?

If he worked a normal job, any job, other than being an outdoor writer I completely agree. I hate the if your opinion is different then youre cancelled culture. I think this is different because he is writing for western hunting magazines and representing western hunting to the public.
I hope people write to the nra/american hunter and outdoor life to get this guy removed from being a writer. We need meaningful action in addition to memes to stop this behavior and social media celebrity fame at all costs craze.
We’ll never know the full story but the fact this guy self...
Sitka had a 20% sale off everything over the last week. Theyve run more sales and promotions this year than Ive ever seen.
The new 100 may have finally solved my purchase dilemma

Im in the same boat. My go to boots are the same uninsulated beartooths. I have an upcoming 4th season hunt and cant decide what to do. I would only need real cold weather boots every few years (mostly archery hunt) and for some whitetail tree sits. I was going to buy a set of 200 beartooths but...
Its been very good so far. No deer type taste whatsoever, more of mild taste. Much leaner than I was expecting. Neither moose had much fat built up which really surprised me. I didnt get a chance to let either moose hang unfortunately which would have helped break it down some too. Being able to...
Same here. Ive had two pairs that were older. I keep trying to replace one but the new waist and lack of stretch makes me keep returning it. Cant believe they changed such a good thing.
