I picked up a pair of their merino 190 bottoms. They arrived SUPER quick and worked great for keeping the chill off me on 50 degree days this pas weekend on a turkey hunt. I plan on buying more of their stuff soon. I'd say it's every bit as good as the other makers.
The Torrent is awesome, doesn't weigh you down but doesn't pack down super small, I did a review on my blog you can check out if interested. www.gffadventures.blogspot.com
does this count as using it?? i promised my 21 month old son i would take him for a walk after going to the store, he wants nothing other than to be outside all day, and of course it was raining when i got home from the store. He stayed dry for a 20 min walk, lol.
it does appear to be quality stuff, im impressed, but like many havent put it through hell yet
