    Air Travel / Cooler Size

    I just saw a GoHunt video where they fit an entire antelope into a Yeti Hopper 30, so I imagine the 40 would do just fine.

    Iron Will Outfitters Single Bevel Broadhead Review ***Updated 2/24/21***

    Well crap. I wasn't expecting to get new broadheads this fall but after seeing that slow motion video of the rotation in a buck...

    Latest/Greatest Sleeping Pad

    The Nemo Tensor Insulated is one of the best selling pads out there for a good reason. It matches all of your criteria also.

    First Lite layering system

    The wick and kiln are fantastic base layers and I always have one of them on depending on the weather. I live in my Klamath once it gets cool enough to wear one. Their cuff merino beanie is my favorite hat also. Those are easily my top First Lite pieces. You basically can’t go wrong with...

    Best Quilt and Why ?

    UGQ gets my vote. I'm 6'4" 220ish and very wide shoulders, so normal mummy bags are too snug for comfort for me. I have a XLong/Xwide 20 degree quilt and I've never slept better outdoors. On my back, side, whatever, I was always comfortable. What sold me on them was their dynamic tension...

    New Maven Binoculars B1.2 and B6

    I've been using the C1's but decided to step it up to the $1000 range of binos. The B1.2 10x42's 362 ft FOV makes me VERY interested. I was set to pull the trigger on a pair of Zeiss Conquest's, but now I might have to wait and see what people say once they check these out.

    First Lite Sizing

    I fit well in the Corrugate Guide in large but had to go with the Solitude bibs in XL. I could fit in the large, but it left no room for layers which defeats the purpose of a pair of bibs.

    Pants for those who don’t skip leg day

    I feel First Lite Corrugate Guide's excel at this. I squat and deadlift so I have decent sized thighs and these fit excellent. They're stretchy and have a very nice taper to them. Some have described them as Hammer pants, and while they're not nearly that extreme, they do have a larger cut in...

    First Lite Solitude and Sanctuary Temperature Range?

    First Lite's Achilles heel is wind. Nothing they have is good in windy conditions. I have a thin wind shirt that I wear under my Solitude on windy days that helps, but it's still annoying.

    First Lite Solitude and Sanctuary Temperature Range?

    The Solitude is good in my experience until about 20 with proper layering. Colder than that or in windy weather, I would want something different.

    New Sitka Kelvin Aerolite Jacket

    Is it just me, or does the Aerolite sound significantly louder than the Kelvin Lite? I handled it a bit in store and while I wouldn't mind wearing the KL for archery, the Aerolite is a definite no go for that in my opinion.

    Kuiu Gila gear

    I love my Patagonia Tropic Comfort Hoody for fishing. They sell it in a neutral gray color so you could use it hunting if need be.

    Favorite Non-hunting Brand or Solid Color Pieces for Archery Whitetail

    I live in my Arcteryx Atom LT during cool/cold weather both while hunting and through daily life. I've had no issue with noise while archery hunting. They usually have at least one color in a neutral tone (brown or green) suitable for hunting.

    BlackOvis Anchor Point 800 Fill Welded Down Jacket and Pant Live Field Review

    Speaking of another product Black Ovis related, has anyone had any experience with their Hailstone rain gear? For the price, their pants with a 3/4 zipper and stretch seem quite ideal.

    First Lite 2021

    I have to say I'm actually a fan of their larger thigh measurement and tapered leg. It makes layering a breeze and ensures no binding when squatting, crawling, etc.

    First Lite 2021

    https://www.firstlite.com/products/catalyst-foundry-pant?view=learn-more They just dropped the Catalyst Foundry pants. My initial impression: I like them but I fail to see the reason for full length side zips on your primary pants. It's not like they're rain pants you'd take on and off...

    First Lite 2021 Lineup-Foundry pants?

    Now I'm wondering what size I should go for. Are these vanity sized like most jeans are? Or does it actually measure true to size? That stretchy waistband on the Corrugates was nice for not having to worry about it.

    First Lite 2021

    I just heard from a customer service guy that the new pants are coming next week.

    What gear are you replacing in 2021?

    I've had a BRS stove for ages and found it a little finicky in windy conditions, but I've never even considered combining it with the Jet Boil pot. I'll have to do some measuring and weighing to see if it'll be worth it. The pot itself is still fairly heavy when compared to a titanium one.
