You’ll love it! I love mine so much it has turned into an everyday wearer....I think I’ll buy another one to save and keep nice just for hunting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk My fiance gives me shit for using any and every excuse I can drum up to wear mine lol.www.rokslide.com
So STP has a Filson fleece for about half cost of the HOOD. think they compare at all for warmth?
In my limited experience I’d say Folsom would be my goto for Wool Swazi for fleece.So STP has a Filson fleece for about half cost of the HOOD. think they compare at all for warmth?
Great question. I've wondered the same thing. Interested to hear some thoughts.What sets Swazi apart from any other polar fleece you can get from Cabelas, Amazon, etc? Genuinely curious because, unlike wool, it seems like fleece is pretty much fleece?
That's odd, I've got the Hood I'm 5'9" and 170-ish, and the sizing feels appropriate to me - not too big, not too small. The hood is small, by design I'm pretty sure, but not as small as you describe. Wondering if you got a bad piece?Dove into the Swazi koolaid not overly impressed, shipping is super fast. Actually arrived a week earlier then DHL quoted. Size is a bit of a worry. 5'9" 150 ordered a medium HOOD and its pretty snug, thin t shirt or long sleeve or base layer and thats about all you'll get under it comfortably definitely worried about shrinkage in the wash, anyone experience that at all?. The actual hood is tiny, like easily smallest hood I've had it doesn't even fully cover my hair, and just goes past my ears so like half the side of my face and top of my head is exposed, good for visibility I guess not great at keeping cold or wind off. My favorite part is the tail on the back side but without any type of synch on the torso its kind a mute point and with no draft block on the back of the half zip it feels pretty unfinished and wind goes right through. Also ordered the Dribacks in medium typically wear a 32/30 length is good probably would fit a 32 inseam as well but 34s might be sort. The legs are not made for those with thunder thighs or big calves they are pretty snug actually.
Overall for the price and all the hype on here I'm pretty blah on it so far, haven't done anything other then walk around the house, and the block in them so maybe with some real use they grow on me but sizing and the shape of the actual hood is pretty annoying
