If we're talking stand out new items for me this year, here's my list:
1. Vivobarefoot Tracker Forest Esc. boots. I've owned them for a year and a half but finally took them off trail and on an archery hunt this year and was shocked how much I liked them compared to my trusty Crispis. More comfortable, quieter, lighter, etc. My feet got soaked in them on a super wet day but they dried out completely in less than a day once the weather dried up. These aren't for everyone but I've been running in minimalist shoes for 7 years and wear others almost daily. This was just my first real hunt with them.
2. Sitka MDWI Arrowhead jacket. My first active insulation piece like this and it's a versatile piece I liked more than I thought I would. I liked it enough to pick up an Ambient 100 jacket as well but find I don't like the heavier weight insulation quite as much on that one.
3. I tried a Peak Refuel Peach Cobbler for the first time this year and man that hits the spot after a long day of hunting if you have a sweet tooth like me.
I love these types of threads. Always some new gear I've never heard of to look into.
