First Lite Core reviews?

[mtfallon]

Bow and gun hunter in MA/NH/NY. I have the stratus and fanatic sets but just sold fanatic set due to making the jump into an XL. Any first hand reviews of the new First Lite Core jacket/bibs and how it compares to the Stratus or Fanatic? It hasn't been cold enough to justify the fanatic the past few seasons, and the fanatic packs really poorly.

I personally don't care for the wind proof stuff in whitetail lines. I'm a pretty active hunter so it just doesn't fit in. I'd look at a Kuiu Kenai, Sitka Ambient, Stone Glacier, etc. Then top with a wind proof layer if needed.
