New developments coming this summer

[Untamed]

Mine showed up yesterday. Pants are super comfy. Top is great also. Ordered a large and XL glad I did because the L is tight! Going to test them in a few days.

got my pants today! two pairs 32/30 or everyday and 33/30 for long john/winter usage. unbelievable feeling! love the stretch but the static waist band is insane.

fit is PERFECT for me.

Recieved my 34/32 pants. First impressions are fit and feel are great. I'm a big fan of built in belts. Time will tell with durability but currently very happy with the pants.

@Mark at EXO or anyone else who’s worn both; how do the pants fit compared to the Sitka Ascent? Especially interested in the fit through the thigh.

When I first put on the pants, I was very a little skeptical about the lack of elastic and loose waistline (although I knew that was the case) however as I tightened the belt I forgot that elastic ever existed- the fit with the belt is superb. I do wish the belt buckle was thinner, but that’s likely impossible with a locking buckle.

I’ve worn both and found the ascent has a tad more room in my thigh. Just a very slightly more tapered fit on the OV.

The initial take from the pants and fleece - spot on. Pants were the probably the right size with dialing the belt in a little - which gives me room to layer too. I dropped some lbs in the offseason so I’m under my usual 34 waist, but the built in belt makes that easy to fix.

I appreciate a tall version for the long torso in the fleece. I need to put my normal wool base layers underneath to see how it fits. I’m not sure I would run it by itself personally - I tend to run hot, but could be fine if I’m still hunting.

I plan to get out this week/weekend for some white tail hunting to compare.

Looking forward to the puffy jacket

6’2” 195, 34x34. L/tall midlayer fit is exactly what I need. Length is great both sleeves and torso, long enough to move without bunching or pulling out of a hip belt, but not excessive. Body is slim for sure, but very stretchy, and fits me perfectly—its not stretched at all wearing it but not a ton of extra fabric there. Its actually easier on/off than my size xl first lite navigator and Id say should be better under a hip belt. If you are expecting a “layering piece” fit over a baselayer then it seems true to size, if you want a “sweatshirt” fit or you have particularly well-developed chest/lats or dad-bod, then sizing up is a decent option.
Been shopping for an active insulation top for a while, tried a few now. I would buy this one again. Make me one without a hood and I’ll buy three!

I have to say I’m extremely hard to please and the fleece and pants are shockingly good. I thought the fit and materials would be good, but it’s nice to get something that’s really quite dialed. Also nice to have some odd waist sizes for the pants. The belt is well done, they are trim without being skin tight and not too baggy, restrained on “features” and the weight is good. The fleece is certainly a closer fitting mid layer. It really cuts in tight at your lower back where the mapping is, which is both good to prevent bunching under the pack, and illustrates where more gym work is needed, ha. Compared to the original ambient hoody (which WAS a favorite) it’s more dialed for fit for sure. My favorite fit with this type of piece compared to others I’ve tried (go hunt’s being the worst….)

Getting the stuff into the field immediately this weekend will be much more enlightening than first impressions, but for brand new pieces, wanted to pile on some high praises.

Really like the pants. A few observations. Mesh pockets, not my favorite. But, innocent until proven guilty. Hopefully they last longer than the mech in some of my other pants. Fit on a 32 30 for a 5’5” guy is really perfect. Like the length and taper. After wearing on a short grouse hunt with kids, a day at work, some cross-canyon shooting with setting up targets, including some bike riding, I have found they are extremely comfortable and versatile. Closest material I can relate is the stretch panel pocket on my exo pack. Some burs do stick to them.
One spot already has some threads pulling. (Maybe from brushing a slivery picnic table)
All of these things are maybe nit picky. If I was writing a review on their site it would still be five stars and they may still turn out to be my favorite pants.
