Best backpacking puffy pants for September?

[mrdeadheadr]

Hey what do you guys recommend for packable puffy pants for throwing in my pack backpack elk hunting in september?
I saw the 3/4 Sitka kelvin lite and seemed great but now realize their discontinued..

thanks!

Where are you hunting in September that you’d need puffy pants?

I was going to basically ask the same thing. Day hunting or packing in?
A good set of full zip, wool long underwear like the Kuiu or SG may be a little more practical.
If you decide to truly go puffy, def go full zip. Makes getting out of them when it warms up really easy.

I can guarantee you, you 100% will not need them for that hunt.

But if you felt like you wanted something for a later/non-archery hunt; its pretty hard to beat the SG Grumman in terms of warmth: weight and simplicity.
