Are we going to do a poll with guesses who the troll could be?

I'll sponsor the poll.

For any of you that will be at Western Hunt Expo, we will also be pre-selling clothing there just as an FYI. Otherwise we'll have product available in April.

I'll also be announcing some of the new products I have in the hopper next here on this thread in the near future.

Would love a thin fleece midlayer comparable to the old Peloton 97s. Something sub-10 oz with minimal or no frills. Seems to be a large market for it.

Any idea on a timeline when you will have versions of the pants with knee pad pockets? @Brad@Argali

No timeline yet on those. It will be a while though as we're just starting the development process.

Looks like someone answered this below but i wrote a whole long post on this. The short answer is not right now and I don't have a timeline on if or when we will at this time. My hot take is that camo is overrated when it comes to its' efficacy with animals, AND, I didn't want people buying a camo pattern with our clothes, I wanted people to see the clothes for what they are. I think too often brands mask a sub-par product with a camo pattern and the camo pattern becomes the primary selling point. I'd rather people focus on the product.

I hope a synthetic vest is in the line up for development. I prefer to wear a vest 90% of the time. Even if it’s super cold when I am moving I get hot quickly, with a vest I can regulate easily and it works as an insulation piece in early season when a full blown puffy jacket isn’t needed.

I had the chance to check out the new pants and fleece top at the sheep show the other week. Everything felt like high-quality gear, and as mentioned earlier, the pants sizing was right on compared to what I normally wear. I’m looking forward to trying out the Vesper pants this season.

Dreams do sometimes come true . I'm in the same boat as you. I like a synthetic vest and I can confirm it is on the development list. IMO down puffy jackets are pretty insufferable for hiking in for any extended period of time.

Excellent. Active insulation vests are a game changer for me. I sweat when moving, doesn’t matter if it’s 50 degrees or 0 degrees. Im constantly chasing improvements in my system’s capacity to move moisture. Becomes more important the colder it gets, especially if you’ve got to do any sitting/glassing after working hard to hit a vantage point.

I love a vest!! Hard to beat, in my opinion.

I'm long overdue for an update on some next steps for our clothing line. This forum thread has been really helpful in shaping where we go, so the feedback is welcome and appreciate.

Two things that we heard very strong and mixed opinions on are 1) integrated waist belts; and 2) knee pads. We are going to make a knee pad compatible pant, and I would sincerely appreciate everyone that can take the poll I'm linking to below to help guide that process. More soon on new things we're working on next.

done. I don't care about knee pads. But very much want an integrated belt. thanks

If you ever build some pants for hunting in hot (not warm, but hot) weather, I'd like to be a tester. Hunting in hot Texas weather is different from "warm" weather hunting.

Yup, understood. I've worn our Vesper Pants in 100 degree weather for a week at a time and I would wear them in those temps again. The challenge for making a really breathable pant specifically for the desert/hot weather is durability. Breathable fabrics will almost always lack durability as I'm sure you are aware being in Texas. We've had a handful of testers in southern AZ as well, which you could call hot weather as well, and the Vesper worked well for them.
