Looking for a replacement for a Mtn Hardware Compressor, & Patagonia R1

[Josey D]

I need to replace my puffy that gets used on 90% of my active hunts, and my preferred mid layer.
I have a mtn hardware compressor that is now beyond fixing & was wondering how the KUIU Kenai or Sitka Kelvin Ultra would compare to it.
Also the old Patagoinai R1's that came out in the military pals OD green a few years back are showing to many holes Need a good idea for a identical replacement. Tried the Kryptek Cerdic2 & that failed badly, to tight & warm & didn't breath or dry as quickly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Kenai been known to be tight in the forarms but very breathable and has pitzips so being too warm shouldn't be a problem. There was a thread on hear about the teton insulated jacket not being as tight in the arms. Might be another option to consider. I was leaning towards the nf thermoball since it is light and not too warm but the fit was restrictive, got the Teton instead and love the stretch ( kenai stretches too)

PCU Level 2 is the cheapest way to get quality grid fleece. I added a hood to mine and its one of my favorite layers.
$20-$30 online.

STP has Kelvin Jacket in waterfowl size XL and 2xl for 200$ But wait. If you add a coupon you can probably get it a lot cheaper then that and.... wait for it..... Free shipping =).

They also have a lot of Mnt Hardware puffy coats listed. I just picked one up for 110$. super happy with it.

Im also a huge fan of the Kifaru Lost park parka. Its about as tough of a puffy coat as you will ever find. Good luck trying to wear it out.

STP also has the Kryptek Hybrid Kratos if your into that. http://www.sierratradingpost.com/kr...ated-for-men~p~115ya/?filterString=s~kryptek/ 120$
