To add...

I do not understand the reason to not have an odor control treatment on poly. SG treats all their tops with polygene why not the pants? Even with odor treatment poly pants stink like Sh*t after a couple days of wear, but zero days if not treated. I guess it’s the love hate of nylon. It’s nosier, but more durable and doesn't stink as bad.

New soft drop from SG frames I haven’t caught discussed - 23” Krux is an option now on the website I noticed. That’s a good addition.

New Fieldstone color with muskeg and tarmac below.

The headwall is quite flexible and soft for having a membrane, extremely quiet. The finish work in the chin area is quite good on this one. The grid liner is very open. I ordered one to have in hand to see what I thought. Late archery season this piece could be very nice of you’re wearing it all day, similar to a soft shell. Hard to know its temp ranges without using, as it is unique. Seems like it could get too warm with a mid layer unless you were moving slow.

How would the Headwall compare to the Sitka Stratus? My closest Scheels is a 4 hour drive or I'd go see them for myself!

Did they make any changes to the neck area of the jacket?? It's the one thing i dislike about SG jackets, i find the neck/chin area to be too tight to zip up.

It’s exactly like the DH, no change, just wore it this AM. I find the cirque to be a bit tighter/too tight, which I think is due to having less stretch.

Keep us posted on this. I have the dewpoint but looking at the X1.
Initial thoughts just from trying it on with no actual testing.

-The fit on the x1 is definitely tighter than the dewpoint. I have xl in both to have room for layers underneath. The X1 doesn’t have much room so consider sizing up, but it still fit my layers under.
- it is more comfortable than the dewpoint
- not as loud as the dewpoint
- I’m nervous about how thin it is, I could immediately see the light coming through the fabric when held to a light so I’m not sure how it will do over here in the rainy PNW. to be fair they did advertise it as a jacket for showers not constant rain.
- I’m gonna hold onto it and hopefully put it though some rain this winter to decide if it gets the nod over the dewpoint.
