I use a soft shell vest like a Kuiu Guide or UA Infil ops with wind stopper. I’ll put it on over my mid layer or base depending on temp. Gives me a little more durability over the outside of whatever I’m wearing. Can put a puffy and hard shell over that if needed
Yeah I got an Academy camo hoody, basically a fishing shirt, and honestly besides having the face mask I like it just as much as my expense ass Sitka core lightweight hoody. Also the Academy synthetic pants are great for the price. The on,y thing I don’t like is the zip cargo pockets are pretty...
I have a Kuiu Guide, Kryptek ( similar soft shell type), a cheap mossy oak fleece lined one ( pretty warm) and a down one from REI. My favorite one however is an Under Armour infil ops vest, the Gore Windstopper lining is what makes it better than my Kuiu or Kryptek.
Yeah for that price and you can always return them on Amazon. hope I steered you right about the weight. The attacks are probably a little warmer and the Alios are “light”, but definitely what I would consider mid season. I tend to run hot but they are definitely heavier material than wranglers...
The only other higher end hunting pants I own are Kuiu Attacks and Kuiu Chinook ( discontinued). They have a little more durable material than the attacks. More room in the thigh, lots of pockets, which I like, but not everyone does. They have knee pad pockets with adjustable tabs...
F1 Mainframe has a lot of configurations to strap stuff to. Also when running a smaller pack with winter layers, I will put them in a light dry bag rolled up and can easily strap to the bottom of any pack. They stay clean and dry and don’t take up room in you main pack
I have the old version of the Sierra Designs Flashlite 2. It’s right at about three pounds with the included poles. Lighter if you use trekking poles. I’m tall and wide and it has plenty of room for me and decent vestibule space
