    Best slim fitting hunting gear?

    Not necessarily, Cuttie. It's just about finding the right vendor and the right piece. I have some things that feel like they were custom tailored. And when you get into the high-end fabrics with waterproof taping in the seams - tailoring is a non-option. You just have to try and find...

    Portable chargers

    Have any of you guys ever used the Li Ion battery packs from your cordless power tools (Bosch, Milwaukee, Ridgid, DeWalt) and the USB adapters that go on those? I just bought one for my Bosch 18v battery pack, but I don't know enough about electricity to know whether this is a better option...

    UA clothes?

    Maybe I'm crazy, but I think I've had every single brand of base layer and there's frankly nothing that I would choose over my UA cold gear leggings/compression shirt. UA changed the game in compressionwear 20+ years ago, and as soon as that transitioned into the hunting world, they...

    SKRE Gear 2020 New product releases & member reviews

    I just ordered a pair of SKRE Hardscrabble pants and they're super well-made and shipped promptly. They fit in the waist/hips exactly as advertised in the size chart, and had flawless construction throughout. Super comfortable,, with high elasticity and a soft, cozy lining. My only issue...

    Best slim fitting hunting gear?

    Today I had a pair of SKRE Hardscrabble pants arrive. They're going to be a no-go, unless every other brand fails or falls short on fit/taper. They're super well-made pants, and fit exactly to size in the waist. The problem with them is that they fit nice in the waist and hips, but don't...

    Best slim fitting hunting gear?

    Thanks for the feedback, guys! I ordered some Kuiu pants to try out. i’ll report back when received. I have some plythal stuff that camofire was clearing out and it fits pretty well too - but plythal is out of business now, so that’s not going to be a long term option.

    Best slim fitting hunting gear?

    Hey gang, I'm having a devil of a time finding hunting gear that fits the way I want. I'm 5'10", 165, 40" chest, 30.5" waist. The problem that I'm running into is that the jackets fit through the shoulders, but are sloppy through the midsection. The pants tend to fit at the waist, but be...

    Idaho Motorized Hunting restrictions?

    I did a hunt in northern idaho a couple years back and never saw even a sign of anyone daring to go around the gates with atv's and drive into the far reaches on the fire roads. That said, it was a really difficult area to hunt with heavy coniferous cover, so a quad wouldn't have done anyone...

    vortex scopes

    I have a HST and a Burris XTR II, both power-up into the mid/low-20's. The Burris is my preference, as it seems to be more forgiving as far as my eye placement goes (front/back/side/side). Clarity is a wash. Both fog up and are a huge pain in awful weather, but I think that's the same for...

    12x Binoculars: The Perfect Optic For Western Hunting, By Jake Potter

    I'm going to sound like the world's cheapest beginner here, but is there a marked difference between the vortex crossfire and diamondback in 12x50?

    Plythal Gear

    I've recently bought a full complement of Plythal gear, and I can say without reservation that if you like a heavily athletic cut style of clothing and/or like your clothes to fit snugly, you're going to love it. The materials are probably more adept in the east, as they're heavier, less water...

    KUIU

    I have an awful time fitting hunting clothes. I'm a 40" chest and 30.5" waist. Nothing ever fits because it's not tailored narrow enough through the waist. I have some Kuiu pants on order, so we'll see how those go. Totally open to suggestions!

    Hey Rad - what part of CO are you from? I did a second season rifle hunt last year up near Steamboat. What a great place!
