First Lite 2021

[Desk Jockey]

I hear that first lite 2021 roll out has been delayed, because Corporate resources are apparently being focused on several paternity suits directed at Ole Cal. That guy lays more pipe than an Alaskan oil worker, damn sexual . Watch out ladies.

Lets see Meateater's bought first lite, FHF, Phelps maybe ASAT's next. Wouldn't that be neat.

Also does anyone know if the new pants are going to have actual waist sizes?

God I hope not. Corrugates waistband is the best waistband design.

I believe @Ryan Avery said earlier ITT that he's been testing them and they have actual waist sizes.

I want to get the Catalyst vest, but its reported lack of any wind-stopping ability has me on hold. Has anyone heard any rumblings of FirstLite coming out with something comparable to the Sitka Jetstream or Mountain Vest when it comes to windproofing? I suppose if you disagree with the reviews I have read about the Catalyst not being very effective in the wind, I would like to hear that also.

Barrister, I found the Catalyst softshell to have some wind blocking capabilities. Nothing to write home about, but compared to say a Columbia softshell, it seemed to cut down on the breeze quite a bit. For being as light as it is, I was surprised by its level of warmth and breathability. I was a fan.

If the seams were sealed on the catalyst, I feel like it would be near windproof. I've seen people do the testing on the shell part of it and wind does not really go through it.

I love my jetstream, but I like the fit of the catalyst better (Jetstream feels very short on my torso), so if they offered it with the seams sealed, I would use that instead.

I just heard from a customer service guy that the new pants are coming next week.

Talked to the man Duke, let him know I’m loaded and ready to pull the trigger on the new gear drop. Told me end of March, the wait begins

 

[switchback7]

anyone hear anything about a windstopping system?

Again, sounds unlikely. Just a color change. But I have been wrong before. Rocking the north branch bibs for another go it sounds like!

I was told the Sanctuary will change other than just the camo.

 

[hflier]

I would sell all my KUIU and go to FL if they brought back ASAT!

its getting the kit link system like the solitude

This sounds right considering they just had the Sanctuary suit in the Last Chance sale for 20% off last month, seems like they were clearing old inventory

Man I’m hoping so, sold a bunch of gear got some $$$ burning holes in my PayPal pocket!

Starting to think this is Cal's burner account

Just sayin, there have been an awful lot of red-haired, unexpected babies in Bozeman since Cal moved to town.

 

[switchback7]

noticed the solitude system is now on sale at FL.

Lol. This is either Cal himself or someone with a serious man crush.

The sanctuary already has wind stopper. Not sure why everyone keeps asking.

I don’t want wind stopper in the light weight pants. I want them to breath freely.

Some reinforced obsidians with hip vents would be the absolute best pants on the market. Hip vents make a huge difference when hunting in the heat.

 

[GoldenTriangle]

Eagerly awaiting the rollout. The Sanctuary cuts some wind, but it does not have wind stopper.

right. I have the solitude and itll work but man, a windstopping layer would make a system that much better.
