    2018 for First Lite...30 new pieces.

    Waffling around on which Aerowool top/tops to pick up. Any opinions on if there's a functional reason to look at the Henley vs a Quarter Zip in the Fuse weight? Just curious if there's something I'm missing? Or if it's just a fashion thing. As a point of illustrating, I keep hearing people talk...

    Well, on the super puffy, you're in luck! Look up the Chamberlain jacket. Supposed to be an absolute oven.

    Affordable gear

    If you're serious about going cheap, you can go pretty darn cheap and survive... I went cheapo last year to "dip my toe" into backpack hunting (7mi hike into a wilderness area for 4 days, windy days in the 50s-70s, nights into the 30s). I believe this is the entire list of things I bought. Was...

    2018 for First Lite...30 new pieces.

    So, if you listen to Callaghan's interviews that are floating around already I think you can answer 2 questions. A: New items will be available for pre-order, starting with the new aero/wool lines, in March. B: ASAT is not coming back. While they did, and do, love ASAT, they strongly believe...

    Sitka Thunderhead system and Flash Pullover review, By Tony Trietch

    Pretty interesting. I find the Flash Pullover very intriguing. The UL backpacking world seems in love with the windshirt in general as a key part of a layering system. I believe I heard Barklow talk about the Flash basically being a rain shell, but wasn't sure what to think of that until your...

    Synthetic Insulation Technology for Hunting

    Thanks for the replies guys, good info. I looked at the Lykos, but for some reason was thinking it was heavier than that. I almost picked one up the other day when they had the extra 10% off sale on Clearance Cave items, but didn't have my size available. Interesting. So while some neat side...

    Synthetic Insulation Technology for Hunting

    I know I'm dredging up a 2+yo article, but after doing some reading on BPL and here, I'm still pretty lost on what jacket I should be looking at. I've been looking at the Sitka Kelvin Active, but reading your comments (and a long thread discussing Alpha on BPL) is giving me pause. I was...

    December AZ mule deer clothing?

    Dude, awesome find on those milsurp puffy pants. I'll be grabbing those for my November hunt here in NM. Figured I'd just take LJs and suffer if it got real cold.

    Generalities of old vs young bucks?

    Just found a remarkably similar thread over on the Hunt Talk forum. Has a few different images. Link below if anyone else is interested. Mule Deer Scoring/Pictures Wytx, thanks for the pictures! For some reason, though, I can only see the last image (of the 4.5yo). I'm really impressed with...

    Generalities of old vs young bucks?

    Been looking through the many "score my..." or "guess the score..." posts, trying to develop an eye for what is a mature buck vs a younger one. Unfortunately, no one posts pictures of anything under 170ish it seems. I'm not trying to be a pro field judge, nor am I trying to nail down the 180+...

    Proposed Light Weight Rain Gear Test..

    It does in that it tells me that the Dewpoint is likely overkill for me, hahah. Tough to justify the 300+ price point with the thought that I'd likely use it a handful of times during the average fall hunting season (and for short durations) . Might see occasional use during summer monsoons if...

    Proposed Light Weight Rain Gear Test..

    No one thing in particular for the most part. Curious how they all held up over time, if waterproofing remained consistent or faded, if any other jackets have jumped out at you since this article. I suppose specifically/selfishly, I'm looking at perhaps a Kuiu Teton or one of the newer updated...

    Proposed Light Weight Rain Gear Test..

    This might be inappropriate, but just bumping this as a relatively new Rokslide lurker in appreciation of the amount of work that went into this. More people deserve to see it. Did a p2 with extended testing every get published does anyone know?
