Stone Glacier Archery Line – Full Season Field Test & Review Thread

[Zach Herold]

You have used The Praxis and 206 Pants besides noise control which pant will you be running with during archery season?

I prefer the 206 pant. They seem to breath better and fit better!

I’ve had even more time in the Stone Glacier Archery Line, and the system continues to perform across a range of terrain and conditions. From desert antelope hunting to high-country glassing, it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it so far.

• The Reflex Gaiters remain one of my favorite pieces in the lineup. They're still holding up great and continue to keep debris out with minimal bulk or noise.
• The Halo Sun Hoody has turned into one of the most versatile pieces in my kit. I’ve worn it for scouting, lake days, and long days chasing antelope in the sun. It offers solid sun protection, dries quickly, and breathes well—even when soaked.
• Both the 206 Pant and Praxis Pant have seen extended use. I still favor the 206 for its fit and ventilation during high-exertion hikes, but I expect the quietness of the Praxis will be a major asset in close-range archery situations as the season continues.

The rest of the system will see more consistent use as temps drop and elevation increases. That’s also when I’ll post my final written review of the full lineup after everything has seen enough time in the field.

As for the video, I plan to have it live in about two weeks. It’ll cover every item in the lineup after field use throughout the full preseason and early archery season.

Appreciate everyone who’s followed along! Let me know if you have last-minute questions before I wrap this one up.
