    Clothing for cold outdoor endurance activities

    Any of these options would work fine. It always comes down to "how much do you want to spend?" and "what are/arent you getting for the higher/lower cost item..." With that said, I have and have used all that you mention here: the Condor, R1, Ambient, and Ambient UL. All of them have their...

    Patagonia R1 vs Sitka Heavyweight Hoody

    This isn't a direct reply to the OP, but for those that might find this thread: Patagonia also makes an R1 TechFace that has a more durable face fabric and even less insulation than the R1. They also make an R2 TechFace that is about as warm and comfortable as a Snuggie; same durable face...

    Best material for Arizona heat trekking?

    Maybe I had a bad/old one, but my Baleaf hoody breathed about as good as a garbage bag on an Alaska Death Hike. I’ve since switched the Sitka Core LW hoody and an OR Echo hoody and not looked back. I especially love the Sitka for the giant front zip to dump heat.

    1P bivy/tent options

    Cost may be a big factor in the discussion, too. The Aquaquest you listed is affordable at $130, but comes in at over 2lbs (and looks like a condensation magnet when zipped). Granted that’s hardly “heavy”, but might be when you consider a bivy from Katabatic and tarp from Six Moons...

    Grid fleece comparison

    OR Vigor hoody drops just below the chin. It's very breathable, which could be an advantage or disadvantage for what you want (I love it while hiking).

    Best hunting pants for short legs

    Short chassis here, too. The 30” length on my FL Corrugate Foundry isn’t bad. I don’t always run the knee pads, but they’re not at my shins like you describe with Sitka (had the same issue w/ their pants). Not quite as durable, but the Stretch Zion (Prana) and Eddie Bauer guide pants have...

    Best 270 Win bullet for Elk

    I ran a 130 grain TTSX with great success out a 270. I’ve also had really great luck with something more frangible like a Berger (130 grain) on elk and deer out of the same gun.

    Can you gain muscle in a calorie deficit?

    I've not read all the replies above, so I apologize if there's any redundancy in this...The answer is "it depends"- here's a few things to think through 1. It depends if you're 'well-trained' or brand new to training. This is your saving grace and why for you, the answer is yes, you can build...
