I’m planning for 2022 and hopefully will hunt 3rd/4th season CO (depending on point creep). To not be too specific, we’re deciding between a couple units in the San Juan or Umcompaghre national forests.
I currently have a few grid fleeces that serve me well in AZ and NM but I’ve heard good things about active insulation layers (eg patagucci nano air, arcteryx proton) when it’s extra cold. What conditions favor active “puffy” jackets vs grid fleece? And since the price is fairly comparable, how do the hunting brands (Kuiu kenai, Sitka kelvin active) compare to hiking brands esp in breathability?
