    Peax Solace vs Sitka Hyperdown, By Mike Moore

    not sure if you have used the Stone Glacier Chilkoot 15 sleeping bag but curious if be Sitka is a lot tighter in the shoulders. The SG is 64” circumference. Looks like this is 60”. However, not all measurements r created equal.

    Light Weight Merino hoodie

    Sitka Core Merino 120 and be done. I have used KUIU, Stone glacier, Ice breaker, etc and the sitka merino 120 is best out of those. for being 120 wt is surprisingly durable. A couple of 7-day hunts and still no holes or tears.

    Born Primitive Frontier Light VS. First Lite 308 Pants

    wore the Kutana pants on all my hunts this year and although I like them, I have a couple of deal breakers. 1. the waist is way to stretchy. Like having to solely rely on a belt is annoying. 2. no sleeve for knee pads. 3. although i didn't get holes or tears the bottom half of the pants just...

    Peax Solace vs Sitka Hyperdown, By Mike Moore

    I am not sure what type of treated down Peaks uses, but Sitka states Allied Feather ExpeDry. That is the latest and greatest in treated down. I have the same in my Katabatic quilts and does extremely well in moisture.

    Best Hot weather knee pad pants?

    No worries! I was just speaking from experience as mine definitely do. They do not have back butt pockets though.

    Peax Solace vs Sitka Hyperdown, By Mike Moore

    Your chart says peaks is 62” shoulder width. Peaks website says regular is 64” shoulder width. Be interested in knowing which is correct. That’s a big difference. Also, I noticed u mention 3 way zipper on peaks. The chart accidentally mentions it under Sitka.

    Merino Base Layers

    Sitka core merino 120 has been very durable. It’s the armor spun tech that keeps its durable. Most companies are wrapping the Marino around a nylon core. Sitka is doing it different and wrapping nylon around the Marino actually protecting it.

    Merino wool

    Most durable so far has been Sitka armor spun merino. Using the 120 hoody and can’t believe how durable it has been for how thin it is

    Sitka Intercept vs Kuiu Kutana

    You are making a good choice and won't be disappointed. Katana are also very tough. I just took mine on a 7-day hunt that ended up being all off trail and busting a lot of brush. Pants did not have any holes or tears, and I was surprised. And they dry stupid fast.

    Sitka Intercept vs Kuiu Kutana

    yes, I have gone back and forth on mesh vs no mesh and I have landed on wish they had mesh. I think main reason they didn't use mesh was to keep the feature of installing or removing knee pads while wearing the pants. Which won't lie is nice as I do not use knee pads all the time only when I'm...

    Sitka Intercept vs Kuiu Kutana

    Have both. Like stated above katana dry slightly faster and are cooler in hotter climates. My issue with Katana is the fit 32 waist fits me perfect, but the thighs are too tight. So, I went to 34 waist and have to use a belt, and the waist also seems to stretch out over a few days on a hunt. the...

    Bought this tent 2 months ago used on 1 trip for 7 nights. This tent is the new version with sil-poly in lieu for of Sil-nylon.
