i have one of these on the way from Amazon.. we'll see if it actually shows up.. seemed like the delivery date was bouncing around a lot, and at one point even switched to unavailable.
rekindling this thread... I'm thinking about grabbing the XL to use as a poor mans wall tent alternative and some family camping. Any more reviews out there yet? Amazon has a pretty short list of reviews.
I still use mine too... static temps one is hard to give a number with all the variables that could be at play. For 12 or 14oz it provides good warmth, great wind resistance and packs down to nothing. Sale prices are hard to beat compared to any hunting brand, and they will replace it w/o...
@aaron600rr any more thoughts on the foundry? how loud is it with the rain shell? Considering it for stand hunting, but I'm guessing it's probably loud...
I have been using it in Iowa to layer with. I get cold fairly easy, so even with merino, fleece, the evertherm and my camo midweight jacket on top I would get cold if it got much below freezing. I took it to NM in October and it did well around camp for me, but I was definitely at the lower...
the evertherm stretch hoody is on clearance closeout right now in black unless it's sold out. It has 45g of insulation vs 30g that the evertherm 2.0 has, so it might be a little warmer. The 2.0 is very wind resistant and surprisingly warm for it's weight. Bottom line is if you're budget minded I...
if you were hiking with a pack on with this coat you'd probably sweat to death. I was doing light hiking at 0f and 15mph winds with a base layer and light grid fleece & pack and almost got too hot.
Haven't checked it stationary yet but it's going to be my go to puffy layer for stand hunting...
FYI for those who bought at 40% off the clearance price for $120 can go to the store (or maybe call customer service) and get a price adjustment to 50% off until the current promo expires. Cooperate customer service might be more reluctant to do this, but in store employee's usually take better...
Good comparison. I've wondered how the downlight compared since I haven't tested it. It is a few oz heavier though, and I wonder how it compares with wind resistance.
I upgraded from the microtherm to evertherm, and also have the cirruslite parka which supposedly has 6oz of 550 fill and weighs...
The doe tags are a random draw and then have the same leftover process as elk. Lots of units with very high odds of drawing doe tags or picking up leftovers. My party plans to do the same this fall.
Fabric seems quieter and softer than what I'd consider a normal 'puffy' nylon to be. However, I wouldn't risk it in the durability category. If it's cold enough you need this coat while moving around then you should probably just go ahead and throw a tough layer over it. I was shed hunting this...
2nd for the Evertherm. I just got one this weekend. Spent a few hours shed hunting in it at 0f or a little below. For active wear you definitely need to manage venting/zippers in it because it doesn't breath the best with a pack or bino harness on. For the price right now at $100 this has got to...
I got mine Saturday.. High's of 0 Saturday and -8 Sunday here in Iowa. I'm pretty shocked at how much warmer the Evertherm is than the Microtherm. I wore it on a couple hour shed hunt with a 250 merino base and a light grid fleece. Walking at a good pace through open fields I stayed plenty warm...
I had a microtherm as well and felt like it wasn't anything more than a nice sweatshirt. I tore a hole in it last week and they let me take a gift card for the value since they didn't have any of the color I would've replaced it with. So I'm switching to the evertherm. Hoping it's a tad warmer...
