2019 Sitka? Anyone have the inside scoop?

[SkunkCabbage]

Wish I could help but the catalog is just small thumbnail style pictures with no details.

Do they look any different from what you can see compared to last years? Mainly curious about Gaiters

I will check tomorrow if I remember when I have the catalog in front of me, but if I remember correctly the Cloudburst was marked as “New” and Stormfront gaiters were not. Could be wrong. I didn’t notice any visual differences from the wee little pics.

I’d suggest giving Sitka a call, they’ve always been very helpful over the phone when I’ve called.

Strange the stormfront gaiters where redesigned as the were new for 2018

I think they had some “fit” issues...

Will be interested as I used the 2018 version on two hunts last year. Thought they were an improvement over the older version and I didnt ever break out my ORs this winter running hounds.

I’ll call and ask tomorrow. Interesting you heard about that. Makes me curious.

I know they are upgrading to Pro shell fabric and the dewpoint stuff is being discontinued. My guess the cloudburst will be the lighter duty proshell and the stormfront will be the thick stuff. I’ve heard rumour of the stormfront having doubled ankles and butt area for extra durability.

I wondered why they didn’t do that years ago. The hunting gore tex is years behind the mountaineering side of things in terms of fabrics and construction. I had pro shell in arc teryx jackets 10 years ago

I’m curious. I used the thunderheads last year but I realized I wanted the tallest most bombproof Gaiters over brushed face for the area I’m primarily using them.

Here's the best I can do from the small images in the catalog. As you can see, both the Cloudburst jacket and Stormfront gaiters are marked as new. There is no description in the catalog unfortunately.

Got the inside scoop on some stormfront info.

Jacket and pants are got re-designed. They have less pockets and are a lighter weight design. Upgraded to Proshell fabric. Finally!

Stormfront gaiter is getting a new buckle and is getting longer in length so it stays over top of your calf better.

Then I saw this but it was 42mins, not sure if it goes through it all or not

Anyone know what the traverse pants are?

 

[ColoMtn]

Traverse pants are talked about in the last video around minute 8 to 10

Your right it's so much easier to go look up your description elsewhere when to have you repeat yourself here.

Maybe I should post another description in your Skre thread. As a matter of fact, I posted the info in a thread he started weeks ago, but whatever. Thanks for the constructive comment.

I guess you could but it makes sense to post here.

Traverse pant looks similar to the old ascent pants.

Thanks. Seem like an interesting add to the line up.

Can't wait to see the new core series- more breathable would be great!

what pieces do people like for Colorado archery season. I have some older 90% pants and jacket, that work real well 90% of the time. They are a little warm sometimes. I've been thinking about the ascent pieces, but am worried they are too lite for the mornings and evenings. any ideas?
