Cheaper alternatives to FL Navigator, SG cirque lite, other similar mid layers

[Nhummer]

Has anyone found either a decent hoodie or jacket that is similar in weight to the First Lite Navigator, Stone Glacier Cirque Lite, Sitka Ambient, or other like products? I like both the navigator and cirque lite but looking for more inexpensive options.

Those jackets are pretty different from each other, but there are good polartech alpha/primaloft evolve jackets from non hunting brands, like: https://www.rei.com/product/238469/...MI9bGLv9mTlAMV0yGtBh2ORTfcEAQYASABEgLpa_D_BwE

(^This one at 50% off is probably your current best bet.)

And many that would require a wind jacket, like

The Outdoor Vitals pursuit hybrid is less $. But if you want the function without the cost Id start shopping the classifieds.

Shameless plug, but I have a L ambient jacket that’s headed towards the classifieds. Pm me if you’re interested in that.
