Like guys are saying it would be nice to have a pant option with reinforced knees and butt. A reinforced butt on the uncomp pants.
Synthetic/fleece neck gator.
A quiet vest, puffy or guide.
Judging by the gritty bowmen podcast with Sitka and with First Lite not currently making a zip off long...
I see the point of zip off puffy pants but not zip off wool long underwear. Its lighter to not have zips and less seams. I find it easier for temperature regulation and use to remove or put on top layers. Ive had the Kuiu zip offs for a couple years and zipping them on and off is a pain...
What your saying is simply not true or Kenton is a liar.

He added that the early hurdle to get over was printing a hunter-friendly pattern on the textile, a feat that hadn’t been accomplished...
I have no SO experience but I do run the Sawtooth and Tut.
The tut is great as a light weight single man mega shelter. With a stove, stacks of wood and gear there is still room. With 2 guys there is still room for the stove, wood and that's about it. Being in the northwest when there is 2 guys...
Should be an interesting year for FL.
Locally, I haven't seen FL products in stores for a couple years. I cant blame them for the change hopefully it will be successful.
Will the product line stay the same... clothing only or will it change into a Kuiu line with sleep systems, tents, etc.
The Fulcrum should be a decent break from the "one big bag design." The two way center zip makes the bag super user friendly even with stuff way at the bottom. Each wing has 3 pockets (stretchy open top pocket, main wing pocket and a water bladder sleeve.) Its a chunk of change but the...
I like being able to fold over the snow collar so I don't have to run a lid all the time. That being said if I could change 1 thing about the AMR is that it have a fold over snow collar. AMR is a great pack.
I'm personally not a fan open top side pockets so the Fulcrum fits the bill. With 7000+...
I don't have the cargo panel but I would think you could use the straps with the 3 bar sliders through the pals for your bottom connection and the top connection should be straight forward.
For a day pack it worked pretty slick. Water bladder in the shoulder harness sleeve, puffy, lunch, kill...
Earlier this year I ran the Native and Cargo Net as a Weekend/Day bag setup. It worked pretty slick but I didn't get to put any meat on the frame to really test it out.
To attached the Native I took off the belt straps and added 2 male auto locks for the top and either Kclips or Quick clips for...
I have played with the Slumberjack Bounty 2.0 and am pretty impressed with it for $300. Lots of volume, functional load lifters, load shelf, gun bearer, removable day pack.
Slumberjack has a 25% off code right now.
