I think these were literally just released but wondering if anyone has checked them out yet?

Excited mostly for the 2 new pairs of pants.
Looks like the Pursuit Pant is something to potentially compete with everyone else on an early season pant with hip zips and 4 way stretch.

Then the Brush pant to me seems like a run at a revised Timberline Pant for mid-later seasons. Waterproof seat and knees with some reinforcement and most importantly, FINALLY with hip zips.

For jackets; The Kelvin LT looks like it might be a cool early season option but my suspicion is that it won’t be able to compete with a good lightweight down so likely probably will be a no go for most. But the Kelvin Pro being a light ish insulated windstopper jacket could be legit, I could see myself taking that to rock over a mid weight base layer setup and ambient vest mid season and having a puffy to go over it.

I ordered a couple of sizes of each pant to test out and one of each of the jackets. I’ll return what doesn’t seem to make sense.

Curious if anyone has gotten hands on yet?
 
Interesting that they made the kelvin with Windstopper still. I thought they would be following everyone else by getting rid of pfas.
Lightweight pants look good. Maybe an ascent pant with zippers? That could sell well.
