I was asking what is Sitka replacing the Kelvin Down WS with in their line-up.
Also curious about this.I was asking what is Sitka replacing the Kelvin Down WS with in their line-up.
I also snagged one. Great deal, really like it. I went 2xl. Plenty of room to layerSitka WS on Camofire today $199.
I'm a big fan of the Chamberlin as well. It's extremely warm for its weight and packs down fairly small. I just got back from a 10 day hunt in NWT and even though temps only got below freezing one night I was glad I had it along. It's just so nice to be able to throw it on and warm up quickly. I've had it on multiple NWT sheep, Yukon and Alaska moose, and Alberta mule deer hunts and have never regretted bringing the bigger puffy for the extra 10 or so ounces. This is the fifth season I've owned it and it's still holding up great. It's also a great winter jacket for here in MN.I haven't seen anyone mention the First Lite Chamberlain so I'll be that guy - I posted about mine a good while back because I hadn't seen any reviews on it https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/first-lite-chamberlain-puffy.124733/#post-1174888 and since then it has proven itself to be one of my favorite jackets (and this coming from a New England skier who has a boatload of jackets). I hunted elk the fall before last and some mornings would crawl out of my sleeping bag to greet a 17 degree morning. Hope this is useful to you and best of luck this year.
I used the montbell a few times this year. Great glassing jacket. One morning in colorado it was *5 and I was glassing a valley with a couple of guides. 3 hours They kept popping in and out of their trucks to stay warm and I was nice and toasty. It is a great piece.I will 4th or 10th the Montbell Alpine. Literally like stepping into a heated house. I have been warm in -15 weather in it prepping for a backcountry ski tour.
