Kryptek Vellus Review

Jared, i'm still wearing my Vellus stuff three years later. I can't even find a hole anywhere in it. Trying to get it back from my son's been tough! This was last week, he's wearing my Vellus pants and jacket:

If you were primarily a whitetail stand Hunter would you use the cadog or the vellus line for a mid season setup? I've already got a set of aegis ordered for the late season stuff.

I would have to go with the Vellus if just for stand hunting. If doing a lot of movement still hunting or stalking I would stick with the Cadog.

Thanks for the reply. I would love to see the vellus in a bib. That would be a slick setup.

At this time I do not see that as becoming an option but you never know!

What is the weight of the Vellus and Cadog? Thank you

Great review does your wife run colder than you normally? I like the idea of fleece but hate burrs

Did Kryptek take your advice on bringing back the vest

Hi Jared,
I'm a MN. hunter and have gone this year from an enclosed cozy stand to ridge top ladder stand and found my 15 year old gear was not adequate for the late season wind/cold (0 and 10mph wind). I just purchased the Vellus jacket/pant and use Merino/fleece/puffy vest under that. I also picked up a used set of Cabelas MT050 bibs/jacket on the cheap. I know I can swap out the Kryptek for the Cabelas on frigid days but mostly wondering if I can or should add to the Vellus kit to get comfortable (I tend to run cold) in that zone rather than bringing a second kit or if I'm just overthinking the whole thing? I plan on doing some backyard sits when the temp drops again and having a hard time wrapping my head around how thin the kryptek gear is. Other than a 1/2 mile walk/climb, it's all sitting. Thanks in advance.
