    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Ah, me and slim fit dont get together well. My wife loves to call me thunder thighs lol Im always in the market for a durable upland pant. I was going to try the FL sawbuck but have hrsrd mixed reviews. What are the kuiu brush pants missing in your opinion?

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    My favorote kuiu piece is the 145 hoodie. Love that thing for summer wear as a sun shirt! I do also have a 120 lt long sleeve, and I wear that one as a casual piece to the office more than anything. Haven't hunted it much but I like the 120 lt fabric quite a bit!

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Do I have to get a pair of Kutanas? Is that the real issue here? Sounds like a lot of recommendations for them!

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Thats where my head is as well but it seems like others have found success with it so I may be investing to try them out

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    I actually went the other way, and have started using heavier synthetics in the cold and light merino in the heat. I'm not sure I'll stay that way forever, but I found more warmth for myself personally with a heavier synthetic bottom when I'm deer hunting all day. Maybe a product of the weight...

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    As a part time western hunter the heavier weight pants make the most sense for deer hunting in the upper midwest/north like we do here. When its really cold and windy a thicker pant like the mountain pant, dakota pant, or timberline really help a cold weather wussy like me when bibs aren't a...

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    I'm a big fan of synthetics, but I will say that the new sitka merino 120 has really challenged my opinion on the matter. So far its the best Merino I have used which is what is leading me to look at the lightweight merino bottoms as a possible option

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Simple, I like that. I was fishing this morning and wearing a light base layer under wrangler outdoor pants to see how I liked the combo and it wasn't bad at all. Do you find that the wind cuts through the kutanas with a baselayer under them?

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    120s or 145s from kuiu? I'm a big fan of lighter Merino rather than heavier. I really went through a lot of testing to realize that for me light merino is my best option if I chose merino.

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Which ones do you use? I have never considered using a second baselayer over them but I suppose it would be no different than a mid layer on your top half over a baselayer so it makes sense.

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    I use zip off 3/4s when I hunt out west for that exact reason and only recently added puffy pants to my arsenal. What weight are you using if its warm weather?

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Do you find that they actually help with moisture management? My legs dont seem to sweat nearly as much as my upper body so I'm looking at it from the perspective of moving moisture away from my body

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    As I continue to test tinker and wish I was hunting I have come to the realization that I had historically been using my baselayers incorrectly. I was reliant upon baselayers for warmth and I have learned that the primary function of a baselayer should be moisture management first and foremost...

    Kifaru wind river jacket

    Just got the ferrosi and the black diamond Specter. The specter was significantly cheaper and fits me a touch better. Fabric wise the specter is polyester and spandex and the Ferrosi is Nylon, polyester and spandex. First uses, the both breathe very well. The ferrosi dried faster. We had 40s...

    Kifaru wind river jacket

    My alpine start was gifted to some lucky person on my last mountain bike ride so i am looking at a replacement. Was trying to decide if I should give the black ovis Specter a try, or go for the ferrosi since it appears I missed the sale on the alpine start in the green color

    Lets hear your Siwash stories

    I didn't know it had a name other than cowboy camping..... I slept out the last 2 elk trips without a tent and with no sleeping bag. Once intentionally, it was 80 degrees at night and I was running hot during the night at the time due to my auto immune disease. Found a flat spot under a tree to...

    Grid fleece comparison

    Compared to some of the lighter options yes, it's honestly close to the condor in terms of felt weight in the hand but the fit is better for me personally

    7mm-08 Rem success on big game

    My wife's gun has such little recoil that it's almost comical to watch her shoot it. She has and can shoot bigger, but she shoots the 7-08 compact so well I just can't see why do make her
