I have been running uninsulated Kenetrek Mountain Extremes for the last five years. They are great, because I need the tall ankle support they provide, but they are super hot in the early season. I tried Crispi Idahos last year thinking the mesh would breathe better than the full leather...
It looks like Sitka has discontinued the size medium tall in most of their clothes. Anyone have any suggestions for anything that fits similarly? FYI: 6' 2", 150-160 lbs, 30" waist, 35-36" sleeve. The sleeves being short is usually my issue. Thanks.
Does anyone have any experience with the Guide Ultra or the Everstep (both with the nylon brace)? I have been running the Mountain Exteremes for a few years and really like them, but once they are broken in, I find the ankle support lacking if I am doing a lot of side hilling. The nylon brace...

I'm looking for suggestions on compact binoculars for throwing in my upland or turkey vest. I'm not looking for anything that comes in clamshell packaging, but it doesn't makes sense to spend a ton on these. Last year I bought a pair of Carson RD 8x26s for $75 and they just don't have the...

I have tried to decipher from past posts, but I am hoping someone has experience with both of these optics. I am looking to upgrade my old Bushnells, and am looking at the Maven B1 and the Leupold BX-4 both in 10x42. Are they pretty comparable? Are the Maven's noticeably better to justify the...
