First Lite Recommendations

[ZD91]

I have a First Lite store credit I need to use, looking to get something for whitetail in Michigan. My current setup is:

Sitka lightweight hoody
New Sitka Jetstream
Fanatic Vest
Kuiu Kenai
Patagonia R1
Stratus Bibs
various midweight wool baselayers
Stratus beanie/fanatic gloves

Looking at maybe the source jacket for a camo midseason jacket/layer piece (would sell Kenai, don't love the hood), furnace layers, or solitude bibs for late season. Any recommendations?

The only thing from First Lite I really love is the Sawtooth jacket. Great, great layer. A little weird until you start using it, but for me, it’s a really versatile mid to outer layer.

FL wool base layering stuff is great. you won't go wrong on any of it.

I love the furnace base layer bottom and top. I also like the sawtooth.

Some of my favorites are furnace zip offs and henley, tundra balaclava, and fingerless gloves. Solitude bibs are nice. A pair of puffy pants like the kenai or uncompahgre underneath the stratus bibs can be more versatile though.

I have some Sitka, more Kuiu and only one piece from First Lite. It is the Furnace 3/4 zip top and it is probably my favorite piece of hunting clothing that I own. It is incredibly warm and the perfect mid-layer. I seldom leave home without it during cold weather.

The corrugate foundry pants are amazing!!!

Furnace top. Best layering piece ever.

I wear on nearly every hunt the corrugate guide pants and wick hoody and fuse bottoms (not sure they are made anymore). It’s been a great combo. Really like the pants.

Their furnace and kiln merino layers are great

Their base layers are great. Their fingerless merino gloves are nice. The tundra cold weather balaclava is a great piece. Chamberlin, while horribly non-durable, is a VERY warm puffy for the price point.

Other than those pieces, I’d stick with other brands for backpack hunting (Fjallraven, Patagonia, Arcteryx, Swazi, to name a few).

Chamberlain jacket for late season

I have the furnace set and the solitude set as well both are nice and would fit.
