Thanks for sharing the video! Is Aron sponsored by Kryptek now?

I've been using the Kryptek clothing for about a month now and am impressed with the 2012 line and Highlander pattern.... but I'm not really a pro staff type of guy

I will say that the Highlander pattern blends in better than anything else I've used and the comparative test photos favor Kryptek. The Valhalla pants are about as good as it gets for UL pants too...

Thanks for sharing the video Aron. I hope you will have a fun and successful hunt ahead.

Good luck on your hunt. Thanks for the feedback on the Kryptek clothing. Is the rain gear shell less noisy than the KUIU Chugach or about the same?

 

[Aron Snyder]

The Kryptek rain gear is quieter than the Kuiu or Sitka packable, but a little heavier as well. I'm actually skipping a soft shell jacket in my packing list and just running the Koldo rain jacket instead.

 

[Ryan Avery]

I do like the red shirt!

 

[Matt Cashell]

Is there a specific pocket for the spitter?



How does the Kryptek raingear breathe?

Good luck on your deer hunt!

Don't need one in the woods! When your a man the world is your spitter... unless your in a living room.

Great video. Always fun to see what your using from year to year etc.

that jacket is listed at 26oz, is it more similar to like a mt050 than a chugach?

 

[Aron Snyder]

Here's what I would compare it to, but to answer your question, no, it is different than the MT50 in that it does not hold water.

So what would you compare them too?

 

[sanchomaes]

Yeah what do you compare it to...huh.

Aron must have had an ADD moment half way through typing that sentence.

 

[Aron Snyder]

Oops, that's funny! I'm on the road now (using my phone), but I will post the correct link when I get back.

It is somewhat like the stormfont from Sitka, but a little less noise will come from the outer shell.

The jacket does not breath as well as the Chugach from Kuiu.... It does have pit zips, but the breathability is on the same level as Gore.

can we get a stuffed down compressed pic?

 

[Aron Snyder]

The XL compresses down to the size of a Nalgene bottle, but if I tried I could probably get it smaller....but I always just stuff it into the compression sack and never roll/fold it up.
