Anyone else just see this video? Looks to be some pretty interesting cold weather gear.

Can't say being restricted to a pure outer rain gear with insulation made into it would be my choice of gear. Layering is always better and if by chance that insulation gets soaked, it's going to take longer to dry out vs. having it be a stand alone system. Putting the Expedition Gloves inside the SD Mitts looks like a recipe for cold fingers. He should just take a real down mountaineering jacket by Feathered Friends or similar, guaranteed to stay warm at minimal weight.

Personally I’ll pass on gear where the owner hunts with Trump Jr. and doesn’t support defending public lands. But that’s just me.

Extremely helpful insight, thanks for not taking the thread completely off topic. Glad we didnt go there
Wow, cuz maybe he should be hanging out with the clintons instead!! I really like the concept of that jacket. The pants aren’t something I could use here in my area. But I would like that jacket!Personally I’ll pass on gear where the owner hunts with Trump Jr. and doesn’t support defending public lands. But that’s just me.

BUT, you'll support a product (Sitka) where the original-founder (Hairston) hunts with Trump Jr. and doesn't support defending public lands?Personally I’ll pass on gear where the owner hunts with Trump Jr. and doesn’t support defending public lands. But that’s just me.

Im actually surprised this thread made it 6 posts before the first one. Seriously, how has rokslide not banned the use of the word "KUIU" yet?Extremely helpful insight, thanks for not taking the thread completely off topic. Glad we didnt go there

You brought this up! I just replied with an alternative. I like Kuiu, and I support Jason.I always love how it’s always an “either/or” in hunting forums.
As though if I’m not for trump the only possible alternative is to be pro-Clinton.

Yes we know but thanks for pointing it out again.You brought this up! I just replied with an alternative. I like Kuiu, and I support Jason.
That's sort of what I was thinking. The guy in the video, it sounds like he is going on a mountain hunt in Tajikistan. The clothes seem like they would be good for sitting in the cold more than climbing in the mountains. Hell, if you are active, you can be just fine in subzero temps with longjohns, sweats, and a carhart jacket. Anything more and I would be sweating too much.I just can't see that type of setup being what I'd ever use in the mountains hunting for sheep, even in the cold Marco Polo country. For waterfowl hunting, definitely, but not where high exertion and high moisture moving might be necessary. I'll take the option to add R value and fast breathability every time and just throw a rain shell over that insulation as necessary to help cut wind or driving snow/hail/sleet.
