I replied to a post from Jan 2023 - the poster was selling 2 women’s Sitka items. Shortly thereafter I received a message, but, (unbeknownst to me at the time) the message was not from the seller - it was from a different user. They sent me their phone number - (810) 270-2053 - wishing to...

I have a Kuiu Ultra 6000 in Vlas to give away. *bag only*!! Buyer pays shipping.
Has one hole by right shoulder that likely needs sewn and one small hole at bottom of front pocket that could probably be taped or left alone. Does not include frame or suspension. It’s...
Wondering if any women that use this forum live in Western MT and would dig meeting up to scout or hunt some new territory if it ever stops snowing around here. I love hunting with my boyfriend and I always learn a lot from him, but I also really like to get out on my own. Aspiring to get my...
I can maybe rock a 28 in the pants and a S in the jacket come hunting season 😅 thanks in advance!
Edit:
Found the pants (for $100 NWT on Facebook), and now I see the women's Jetstream doesn't have pit zips or a hood or as many pockets as the men's so to heck with it!
Thank you!!
Great to hear Stone Glacier was so accommodating. I’ll keep your recommendations in mind re: K2 vs. K3.
I’ve seen the Mystery Ranch Pintler brought up quite a bit but not the Women’s Metcalf, which I just tried on locally and it fit well.
Haha yes it would be nice to hear from a woman in the Women’s Council forum! But thank you very much for your response, I see EXOs in the classifieds a lot so I will definitely be looking for one to try on. It’s encouraging to hear of a woman’s positive experience in one.
I bought my (men's) Lowa Tibet GTX's ($395 new) on eBay for $150. I recommend looking to the second hand market. Keep in mind you'll have to break your boots in before you go busting up and down mountains. I was very happy to find the Lowas stopped giving me blisters after ~50 miles in them...
Thanks for this advice. And I’ll check out Rice, I always go to Roost when I’m in Bozeman, best fried chicken! We have a great new Thai place in Missoula too... slowly turning into Bozeman...
I do know of Mystery Ranch and Stone Glacier, I am hoping to find something used to save $$, the second hand market is where I see a deficit in options for women... but I will probably end up having to buy something new so it’s good to hear about these positive experiences your wives have had...
While literally running through the woods after grouse, my boyfriend and I each spooked and shot a snowshoe hare. Since then we've tried to hunt them again, in creek bottoms with sign of many living there, but have yet to lay eyes on one again.
My thoughts are this - we saw them while grouse...
Thanks for your response, I believe the S/M I had is the smallest size they offer.
The shape/orientation of the shoulder straps was also uncomfortable, and while I expect this from men's packs, I hope to hear from other women that some are better than others.
I'm 5'5", 140-150lbs. I was thrilled to find a Kuiu Ultra 6000 bag on eBay for cheap, plus use a 20% off + free shipping code to get the frame and suspension off their website for a total cost of $350. Got it all put together and found the shoulder straps sit 3 inches above my traps at the...
