    Sitka Core Merino - Reviews & Comparisons?

    Thanks, if that's the case regarding durability for all 3, I might look elsewhere. I have some stuff from Voormi, which uses a proprietary merino/synthetic blend, and I feel that especially their higher weight stuff is pretty durable. But I also have a 100% merino First Lite hoodie that seems...

    Sitka Core Merino - Reviews & Comparisons?

    Thanks for your thoughts. If you had to choose one, which do you think is better, the 330, or the 220? Also, how durable do you feel the 330 is? If I get one of these, I'm leaning towards going with the 330. I'm also wondering what the reviews in general are on the 330 Half-Zip, versus the...

    Sitka Core Merino - Reviews & Comparisons?

    Out of curiosity, besides the sleeves on the 330 being absurdly long, were there other issues with it? And is there any feedback somewhere on the 220 Half-Zip yet? I'm somewhat wary of the longevity of the 120 weight, even if it's "ArmorSpun" merino and nylon.

    No, the lead I got turned out to be a dead end. If you have some ideas on other places to post to try to find one, let me know, thanks.

    KUIU Katana Gale Force Pant

    I have these, although I haven't had a chance to test them yet. I like the full-length side zippers, more pockets compared to the Storm Shell Pants, and the removable bib portion is versatile. Like I said, I haven't had a chance to test them yet, but they seem pretty awesome.

    No problem. Yeah, if you like the position of the pockets, the pants should work for you!

    Socks

    Darn Tough is extremely popular. I don't have any yet, but I plan on getting some for my next socks, if just for the warranty. I have some Kuiu socks, and while I like them, some of them are wearing out. They were expensive, and I don't think they have a warranty like Darn Tough.

    Which company has the best base layers

    I posted about this in another thread, but I like Voormi for baselayers, and they make some of their stuff in patterns such as Blowdown and Harvest.

I'm trying to get my post count up, so that I can post a WTB ad in the Classifieds section, but other than Rokslide, any suggestions on where I might be able...

    Best heavy weight thermals?

    I have a Cabela's ECWCS Thermal Zone Baselayer, and it gets pretty damn warm. It has different zones for different areas, and I think it's made with Polartec material. For merino/synthetic hybrid material I like Voormi's stuff.

    Base Layers?

    I like Voormi's baselayers. They use a merino/synthetic blend that's supposed to offer the best of both worlds, and they come in different thicknesses that could be used as a baselayer, such as Ultralight, and Baselayer thicknesses. And sometimes I'll just wear a Voormi Midlayer as a baselayer...

    Best rain jacket for hunting and everyday purposes (if it rains)

    For everyday purposes I'd suggest the Vollebak Off Grid Dyneema Shell, since the material is tough, and it's dipped in water repellent, so it hopefully would last for life. It seems hard to find a rainshell that is tough, with lasting water repellency. Also, it's got good pockets for holding...

    KUIU Kutana storm shell pants

    I have these, and I like them. Very lightweight. The pockets are kind of low like on cargo pants, and I wish they had some higher up too, like on the Kutana Gale Force Pants.
