Yeah, I think that’s kind of my issue. I need something that’s warm, not bulky, not too hot when I run, but will keep me warm when stationary. It’s a pretty tough ask for one piece of gear. The more I’ve thought about it, I may need to just accept that I need a couple different pieces for...
Awesome, thanks so much guys. I’ve never really had a soft shell, so I wasn’t sure how warm they are compared to a puffy? I definitely like that they’re more durable than a puffy, and seem to have less bulk.

So, I'm hoping to take advantage of some of the sales going on right now, and I need to grab some new gear. But I've got kind of a unique situation. I'd like something that I can use for hunting (usually whitetails from a treestand in Ohio, and the occasional trip out west), but it would also...
I need some new rain gear. Looking for pants and possibly a jacket.
Pants size L or XL (36-38 waist and 32 inseam).
Jacket size XL
Preferably a solid color so I can wear them when I’m on an outside job, but camo isn’t a dealbreaker.
Let me know what you have!

I need a new set of rain gear, and I don’t mind spending some real money, but I need something that will last. I need something that I can also wear when I’m working outside - and that involves quite a bit of time kneeling in my knees - so I’m worried about dropping $300 on a pair of pants that...
Not gonna lie - I'm kind of underwhelmed with the FirstLite sales this year. The Uncompaghre is a good deal, but other than that there's not really anything I'm dying to have. On a related note - how do people like the Uncompaghre? I'm a little concerned about the durability, and not sure how...
I bought one of these from OP, and used it on a 3 day Hike last weekend. Exceptional quality, and did exactly what it’s supposed to do. Highly recommended!

I've had a pair of Stretch Zions for about a year, and I absolutely love them. But I've noticed on the last couple hikes that the DWR seems to be gone. I walked through some wet grass this morning, and my legs were instantly soaked. Is it possible to re-apply some type of DWR, or should they...
My FL boxers were insanely comfortable, but I made the mistake of wearing them at other times than just hunting, and they were down to threads within a month. Just can't justify that much money for boxers I can only wear a few times.
BlackOvis has been great for me, and I wear them every day...
That's what I was thinking about. So you just keep everything together, roll it up and put it in one stuff-sack? That seems really convenient and quick.
My situation is a little unique, because I don't already own a light backpacking tent - my current setup is about 5.5lbs. I got the bivy on sale for $40, and the DST will be $80 (after factoring in my $50 credit on GoHunt). Total weight should be right around 2lbs. So, I'm dropping 3.5 lbs...
Will be going floorless for the first time this Fall, and I'm pretty excited, but trying to get everything dialed in. I'll be using a Seek Outside DST Tarp, and I have an REI Bug Bivy on the way as well. I'll be hunting the opening week of archery in Colorado at about 8500-9500 feet. I was in...
