Yeah I talked to the girl at their store over the phone last week and she said mid September. That’s why I got all excited when I saw your post.
is the material noisy?All, I made the decision to change out my hunting clothes from anything that was made in China or outside the USA. This led me on an extensive internet search and I came upon Forloh (For the love of Hunting). After some research and a call or two into the company I decided to pull the trigger on a number of their items. A 3 layer rain coat and pant, along with a down vest, hunting shirt and their all purpose hunting pant.
Allclima 3L coat (green) pant (green)
Thermoneutral Down Vest (deep cover)
Allclima stretch woven pant (green)
Deep space half zip (deep cover)
Besides being happy to have this made in the USA I was shocked at the quality. Of course this is before I am able to use it on my archery elk hunt this year but it is amazing to say the least in it’s build. The deep cover camo is directly a hit at Kuiu and no wonder...the designer came from Kuiu. I use camo now sparingly and rely on blacks and greens where I think it’s workable. I liked the gear enough to order more which arrives this week. The stretch woven pants are a 4 way stretch with knee covers (wouldn’t really call them pads ). They remind me of the attack pants from Kuiu. They seem a bit more substantial and I passed along the wish for a waterproof seat and knees for the future.
The rain gear so far is great. I am using it for a winter coat with the vest under it.
I am not a professional hunter nor a expert in gear reviews but I have to say that the combination of US made products and a high attention to detail in the making of this gear is fantastic. It is pricey (matches up with Sitka) but that is expected as it is under US laws for labor and such. Oh, I had to return the woven pants as the regular length was not for my 34” inseam..the tall is on order. I would say fit is tighter than Kuiu and Sitka...I used a 34 waist in Kuiu and use a 36 in Forloh. All larges in coats were the same. Hope any of this helps and if I can help with any questions let me know. Cheers.
All of their stuff ive tried is surprisingly quiet, even the outerwear. The new lightweight rain jacket makes a bit of noise but not muchL

Nice to. Looks like good stuff.All of their stuff ive tried is surprisingly quiet, even the outerwear. The new lightweight rain jacket makes a bit of noise but not much
Its definately high quality. I bought a whole kit over the last few months to replace all my sitka and stone glacier. I hope they make pants out of the new lightweight shirt material, cause its really good for hot weather. Kept me feeling cool while i was sweating like crazy on a ruck in the sunNice to. Looks like good stuff.
Hey Babybear,
I always know that posting honestly to these forums always leads to people excited to troll and bash. Frankly I find it interesting that you only have 3 posts to Rokslide, and they are all directed at bashing FORLOH. So... Let's be transparent here. My name is Ryan Guay, and I'm the VP of Sales at FORLOH. Who are you? Who do you work for?
I'm not going to get down in the weeds on this. Our founder has been successful enough that he can base himself out of PR for most of the year, and has other businesses. We have an office, Retail store, and warehouse in Whitefish, Montana with 14 full-time Employees, we have 3-6 designers (Depends on the season). We work with 5+ US factories, and buy all of our raw materials from suppliers that are making products in the USA. On average, each Garment we make is touched by 40-60 American citizens all making over $15 an hour with full-time employment benefits.
All of the Employees/ Contractors/ factory workers above are paying Taxes. And, if you know enough to do all the research above. You would also know that Start-ups are not profitable for years and corporations are taxed on Profits.
So lets go hunt together, I've paid for all my tags in Montana and am paying my taxes. Same will all my co-workers.

You know what. Thats a dam good question and it has caused a stir of communication within our team today. When we got the test results back from the Lab, this is how they reported them. We are circling back to them to find out what that exactly means, and will report back. Thanks for finding that and helping us fix fine details in our communication.Hi Ryan,
I'm replying to this post since it specifies your position at Forloh and think you'd be the perfect person to answer this question. I'm looking at buying a new rain jacket and your Men's AllClima 3L Rain Jacket with RECCO® sounds really nice, but I have a question about the specs. Forloh's website specifies the waterproof rating as "<35k +/mm Waterproof" and my understanding is that the higher the number, the more waterproof it is. The 35K number indicates an extremely high level of waterproofness, but the < sign in front means it's LESS THAN 35K so that means it can be any number below 35k. Essentially a cotton T-shirt would fall into the "<35k +/mm waterproof" category so I'm very confused by the rating. Maybe it's a typo and it's supposed to be >35k +/mm or am I misunderstanding the rating?
Awesome! Thanks for following up and I look forward to hearing what you find.You know what. Thats a dam good question and it has caused a stir of communication within our team today.

I actually love when potential customers find these little details. In a Start-up, we are all running so fast and wearing so many hats that we don't always know the answers. Especially when it comes to lab tested results and what is written on the site. So thank you! I can't tell you the exact rating, but from personal experience I know the jacket is waterproof AF and breathes better than any I have worn. But we will respond back/ fix the communication.Awesome! Thanks for following up and I look forward to hearing what you find.
I have them and really like them....but I haven't tested them yet. I am also doing second season in Colorado and these are what I will be using.Any feedback from users of the Allclima Strech Pant. Debating about purchasing these for a second season Colorado hunt.
Good: pieces seem quality and I would definitely look to FORLOH first to see if they offer what I am looking for.I finally took the dive on Forloh, ordered the Allclima 3L rain jacket and pants. Its usually really hot and dry when I hunt so all of my gear is warm weather focused, but with an upcoming storm I took the opportunity to splurge on some gear that was missing from my kit. Fingers crossed it gets here on time and fits!
