    SG Chilkoot 15* vs Outdoor Vitals Summit 15*

    No experience with OV but id never let anybody take my SG bag from me. My only regret is I gor the 0 degree bag and its so warm that I haven't had the darn thing zipped all the way up other than in real cold. The shape and length are perfect for my 6'2 215 frame

    SG Chilkoot vs Peax Solace

    When i found the chilkoot I found the best bag for me. It fits me perfect, was available in my time of need and has never let me down. My only regret is that I got the 0 degree bag and I should have gotten the 15 because it is so incredibly warm that I often sleep with it open or use it as...

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Yeah I really only like light merino these days. I have furnace weight merino, but just dont use it that much compared to fleece for a whole host of reasons. I have to laugh because my arms are 6'5 almost 6'6 and at 6'2 sleeves are never long enough

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    For me I get gold easy, but also overheat really easy while moving. Thats ultimately why I have to rely on layers so much more than I ever have before. I can't recall- do you use3/4 length merino or full length?

    Dangit I see OR has the alpine onset which looks promising at 47/47 merino poly

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Seems pretty reasonable, but my calves are fat and sassy so I have a tough time finding tall socks to fit. Do you change your socks at all when you get to where you hunt? Often times I will throw on a dry pair at the base of the tree for long cold sits

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    I just wish for this specific application they werent 3/4 length.... The material is about perfect but the length being 3/4 doesn't make as much sense for whitetails as it does for western application.

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Ok here me out boys I tried the 145s. Theyre 3/4 length zip offs which might be the bees knees for western hunting, but now they have me thinking that a light full length merino base would actually be half decent for whitetail hunting since its generally lower to moderate activity and would be...

    Merino wool

    They don't make gear driven towards waterfowl, or stand hunting. They make amazing products, but for example their pants in my experience have been loud for stand hunting whitetails. Their tops seem to be just fine, and I absolutely lovs my SG chilkoot sleeping bag, but as far as outerwear for...

    Merino wool

    I don't have any SG Merino yet but I really like them as a company and I have other of their gear that I use a ton. My only issue with SG has been that their stuff is very geared towards western hunting and sadly I only get to do that one or two weeks out of the year and the rest of the year...

    Merino wool

    My kuiu 125 t and 145 hoodie have been unreal for durability but i totally agree with the itch factor. Does voormi run decent sales? What's the blend on it?

    Merino wool

    Ny experience as well. I dont want to raise my Sitka flag any higher but it might be the new king of the lightweight Merino category. So much so that its got me looking at the 120 bottoms and 220 tops and bottoms. I have the 120 in a hoodie and long sleeve and boy that is a remarkable piece of...

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    As far as lightweight merino bottoms- I see the kuiu 145s and 120s are on sale how well do the 145s hold their shape? My only issue with the 145 hoodie I have from kuiu is it bags out after a couple hours. I love the fabric but should have ordered a large instead of XL if I knew it would loosen up

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Thats my experience as well. I have a 100% merino set of 250s by meriwool that just dont hold up compared to something with at least a little nylon. Have you tried the sitka 120s yet? The top is my new favorite for a light merino and has me strongly considering the bottoms

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    I didnt need them tonight at 80 degrees either. Holy it was hot and muggy hunting. Thankfully I had a short walk. I could have sat there in my grunders and scared a deer to death more likely than I could have shot one

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Glad I held off then. My current wrangler double fronts are my fav but I was looking for a faster drying synthetic pair
