Who used it this year? What are your thoughts? Really in a toss up due to the weight but after checking this stuff out you really can tell Its more durable than the chugach. Just not sure the extra weight is worth packing around.

Stuff is heavy! But much more durable than the chugaugh. Most guys wear it as their outer layer instead of pack it.

If packing in rain gear most choose Chugach.

Yukon is intended to replace a soft shell and pack able hard shell as your only outer layer worn on wet trips like you'd get on the west coast or up in Alaska/Yukon area. The weight penalty for packing it in as spare rain gear isn't worth the durability otherwise IMO.

I went with the Yukon pants (Durability)and Chugach jacket. I Never take the pants off but the jacket packs easily if it gets to warm.
