Looking forward to when the pre-order link gets sent out!

Just listened to the podcast today. Looking forward to these, particularly the pants, but agree on the puffy. I never thought 5 oz was quite enough fill.

Vantage jacket - fabric, down, fill power, fill weight, warmth.
Pursuit hybrid fleece - we don't offer anything like this currently. Fabric, breathability, mobility.
Altura pants - fabric, 4 way stretch, adjustable waist, fit, hip vents, articulated knees, cargo pocket. comfort, mobility.

Thank you!

@Brigham @ Outdoor Vitals - I got the latest "New Gear Release Update" email.

To take some additional slack out of the presale ordering timeline, could you share with Rokslide community comments/measurements for sizing of each piece?

The planner in me wants to review size charts, fitment guides, etc before I get into the ordering process. Totally understand if it suits the larger team just to hold off until the pre-sale is live.

Interior Drop pockets in the puffy would be a nice addition - I didn’t see those mentioned.

A boot lace hook on the pant legs would also be another next-level feature.

The active insulation piece sounds perfect. I have the UL60 from Sitka and agree with the comments about the fit being awkward—that weight and mapping is still almost perfect for an all-day piece in 25 degree or under weather. The Ambient 75 moved to the evolve line, improved a bit on the fit, but didn’t have thumb loops. The solid color option was limited to olive.

Good questions here. Regarding torso lengths. The hybrid fleece and puffy will be made in standard and tall torso sizes. The pants are made in 30, 32, and 34 inch inseams. Waist sizes will be in 1 inch increments from 29 to 36. 2 inch increments above 36.

Do the pants have an elastic waistband as well as the built in belt? I wear a 32 about half the time and a 33 the other half- any insight on best size if I plan to sometimes (<33%) wear them over long johns?

No elastic. If you want to layer them over long johns, I'd lean towards recommending the 33s — not to create room in the waist, but to just have a bit more room in the leg for layering.
