I just got a response from them…sounds like either they don’t know or it’s 95! Haha!View attachment 944516

Well that’s not confusing haha.

Anyone have anymore thoughts on these? How breathable is the face fabric and is it more durable than the outdoor vitals one?

 

[Oregonhuntrboi]

More durable than the OV one yes. Handled light precip. But I usually wore it under a rain or wind shell anyway. I paired it with the kuiu alpine jacket for temps about 35 and still hunting whitetail. I never was cold but maybe a tad warm still at times.

How's the sizing compared to the OV?

I thought pretty similar.

Fyi, it's on sale for $112. Very tempting...

If you have this can you clarify the sizing for your size (ht/wgt/chest)

I usually wear XL (6'1" 215, 45-46 chest, 36" pants) and the hem on this is too large for me and without a draw cord. The neck of the hood is weird and doesn't cover the front of my neck at all when zipped. The fleece is much lighter weight than the original sitka 1/4 zip, and the face fabric is lighter as well.

Minus the neck and hem issue, this would be a decent option for very high output, but I usually will just go with a baselayer with a jacket made of similar material to the face fabric on this then throw something like the sitka piece or puffy over when things slow down.

I own several active insulation jackets, and this one ranks near the bottom of the list.

I run a tad hot in this piece.this is on my only complaint. If anybody else would like to give it a try I’ll be selling mine.

I guess I’m not the only one.

I’m freaking amazed by this piece warm to weight
Size L = 10.95oz

I used around town in the 40-50 and was completely fine with just a T shirt.
Then a hike in the 35F and got warm with a polyester long sleeve shirt had to take it off.

I was not expecting it to be warm so this evolve insulation is pretty good.

I guess I have to try a 65gsm version.

But for the price I got it $120 amazing deal.

Much warmer than the Costco grid fleece I was only expecting it to be just a bit better but is like 3 times warmer surpassed my expectations.
