Peloton 240 full zip is my go to, it pulls some in brush, but overall probably my favorite piece!!! It is AWESOME!!
Peloton 240 was designed with wind in mind and is specifically made to block wind (not 100% but most), strong fleece is jersey or harder faced for added durability and DWR treatment. The 240 is just a really great fabric weight and the wind blocking bonding technology really works. I haven’t used strong fleece because it is relatively new but when I originally bought 240 it was for early season or mid layer wind resistance that still had great breathability. DWR on a mid layer is pointless to meWhat attributes about it are so great? Why better than strongfleece?
whats the differnce between the strongfleece 260 and peloton 240?. a buddy got the 240 right when it came and it looked sweet but its never on sale. have always worn the sitka heavyweight hoodie but the wind resistance of the 240 is tempting
Hit the nail on the head! Own all three as well and couldn't have said it any better. They are each good in their own respective way. However, the Strongfleece has become the go-to in my set up.I’ve used all. Here’s my input.
The peloton 97 is awesome warmth to weight BUT snags and pulls easy. The Stongfleece is slowly becoming a favorite being that it has good warmth and good durability. The merino is great for warmth and breathability but used over a couple days tends to stretch since it doesn’t have the memory like the synthetics. All are awesome but if here’s my rankings.
Durability: Strongfleece, Merino, Peloton
Warmth: Strongfleece, Merino, Peloton
Breathablity: Merino, Peloton, Strongfleece.
All depending on which weight of all the above you choose of course.
The 240 isn't as durable as the 260 or 280. It's wind resistance is better but I consider it a true mid-layer and have to be cautious when I have it on as an outer layer if I'm in or near brush. Which is all the time.Is the SF 260 really inferior to the Peloton 240?
Sure the 240 has a full-zip, but isn’t it less warm and less durable than the SF 260?
Wouldn’t the SF 260 would be the stronger choice to use for a mid layer and occasional outer layer; greater durability, warmer, similar weight...
Am I missing something here?
Wind is the most difficult Environmental factor for Me to account for and if you don’t have a wind layer it can be the difference between continuing hunting or not.Is the SF 260 really inferior to the Peloton 240?
