Just an FYI for anyone interested, I’ve heard a lot of concerns about the Kenai jacket being fragile and not suited as an outer layer. Handling it that would seem to be the case, but after wearing mine yesterday I ended up having to push through quite a bit of head high brush (1/4”-1” diameter) for an hour each way in and out of my hunting area. I also encountered a patch of thorns where I stopped moving as I heard them scratching/digging into the jacket and removed them.
I had zero visible wear, pilling, abrasions, rips, etc. I think a lot of it has to do with how slick the outer fabric is, so brush tends to slip across it rather than grabbing and pulling. It wasn’t particularly wet out so I don’t know if it would soak through eventually but I was happy with it’s performance.
