Earlier this year i bought a set of the proximity clothing and highly recommend it. It's warm, lightweight and not at all bulky. makes me wish that i had bought better clothing years ago.
What didn't you like about the fanatic? The only thing I don't like about it is that it's so warm and cozy that it puts me to sleep in my climber. It is quite bulky but I didn't take the proximity to be a replacement for the fanatic. Maybe more like a replacement for the stratus line which is hands down my favorite.when getting into good gear i stayed away from Kuiu for year, mainly due to not being build for big guys. I have bought ALOT of gear from them over the past year. I have a set of Sitka fanatic that will probally go for sale the end of year for KUIUs new down line. I like sitka stuff but alot didnt work for me. Plus i feel i can get kuiu at a deal(theres usually a sale)......

I agree, even short walks in on private I keep it in my bag until I'm in the tree. That shit is way too warm. There's nothing better than knowing you can go out and not worry about getting cold. I got some heated socks that really round out the whole system.Fanatic is great if its contently under 35 degrees. Its bulky so carrying in on public land sucks and hiking in sucks even if its vented. Its has it place i just dont use it enough to keep almost 1000 of camo around.

The proximity isn't that warm though right?
