Wind Breakers & Ultra Breathable Raingear

I didn't know steez. Had to look it up. But it sounds like it's the explanation for most of gen Z looking like they raided a goodwill with the intent of looking as confusing as possible

Style +Ease = Steeze.

After wearing my L35 ventile hilltrek bealach a lot, it has become my go to windbreaker. Haven’t touched my alpine start since I got it.

Hey @cubdriver84d, any updates on the Bealach smock? Have you used it in wet snow or mixed precipitation? How’s the durability of the L35 after a year of use?

I’ve been eyeing it for a similar use case (bc skiing + late season hunting).

I have used it a lot for everything—upland and big game hunting, bc skiing, fat biking, etc. In really wet conditions it will wet out and moisture will wick through the fabric to whatever layer is under but it has to be raining pretty good for me to add a rain shell. I wore it on a pws deer hunt in December, and it was typical damp and foggy with mist. Parts of it wetted out but I stayed plenty dry under and would’ve been miserable with a rain coat instead.

Durability is excellent. If weight wasn’t a concern I’m sure L24 is more durable, but the L35 seems plenty durable for most uses. I’ve done a fair but of bushwhacking wearing it.
Way more durable than a bd alpine start for example.

Few pics for proof.
