S2H winter class 2026 observations and lessons learned

[Formidilosus]

On the puffy, this is Gen 1. Gen 2 is improved in a couple areas, but the bino zippers are the same. You ca see how the bino harness is exposed.

I have the blend, I like it- but it pales in comparison to the current version.

Gonna cost me more money.

Yep. The blend doesn’t breath as well, snags way more, and got holes in it the first day I wore it just at the range. In contrast, the current 100% merino one I have used for almost 6 years constantly, has no holes, and snags way less.


I still like the blend one however.

I have issues with having more than one thing if my one thing does well. Probably gonna let the blend go to offset the new one.

Side note - do you have puffy pants in the works too? I trashed my last pair and before I went and got another pair of SG I wanted to see what else is out there
