    BLACKOVIS Merino wool

    Sitka vs First lite

    Same here, I have a set of mid weight merino from Minus 33 that I love. Feels softer then my first light and have been running it for 5 or 6 years now with no real sign of wear or tear. I would not hesitate to buy more from Minus 33. Although I still wear first lite for warmer weather when I...

    Exo Mountain Gear updated 2017 K2 frame.

    If the extra money is not an issue, go with the 5500. That being said, I will be able to get all my gear for a 7 day hunt in my 3500. So I do not regret getting the 3500 and saving some money for extra gear I needed. Having the roll top and floating lid will also give you a lot of extra space...

    where do prana zions fall in line with the kuiu and sitka lines

    I don't know the sitka line well, but compared to my brothers attack pants, they are a little lighter I would say.

    Kifaru Reckoning vs. Exo 3500

    I will be getting 7 days out of my 3500, so it all depends on how you hunt. It is a good size daypack but you can get much more out of it then that if you really want to. Can always use the space between the bag and the frame if you want to as well.
