New FIRST LITE GEAR

[joelbiltz]

I just returned from the ATA show and had a chance to look at the new outerwear from First Lite. I was very impressed. They have introduced a very nice collection to include a rain suite, a puffy coat insulation piece, and a soft shell coat and bibs. this stuff looks outstanding. They have also introduced a few pair of merino socks, a thin liner sock, and a regular merino sock. Also a merino glove liner and cold weather glove made for archers. For those of you that have used First lite merino in the past know what kind of quality to expect from them, and I can tell you their merino products are THE BEST OUT THERE and can expect their new outer wear products to be the same. I have been using First Lite merino for a few years now and will not even look at others. Do yourself a favor and check out the new gear from FIRST LITE.

The new gear is impressive. I actually just posted a in-depth walk through video, photos, and some specs at my site this morning.

It's too bad it wouldn't be out in the spring so I could get some and test it out while shed hunting

I found a link to their 2013 catalog...http://issuu.com/rodgesa/docs/2013_fl_catalog_final

I hunted almost exclusively in First Lite this last season and LOVED their stuff. I'm curious to try out their puffy jacket and wonder if it'll be as nice as my Sitka Kelvin (I don't think I've ever seen another one with a hood like the FL has!).

The new stuff looks great, I've been more than happy with my KUIU but I'm an absolute sucker for max-1 and I'd imagine they'll offer these new pieces in it, definitely have to check it out...

All of First Lites new stuff will be offered in Max-1 ASAT Realtree XTra and Mossy Oak Infinity

According to the catalog, and my talks with Kenton, the new pieces will be available in ASAT, Xtra, and Max-1. The new jackets will also be available in Dry Earth (brown). According to what I have been told so far, the new line will not be available in MO Infinity, but the merino still will still be offered in that pattern.

Also the new jacket that has DWR that's also used in Kuiu gear too

I am a sucker for everything FL puts out so I can't wait to try most of this new gear but I am not overly excited about it as my KUIU gear is pretty much the same. FL will always be my go to base layer in terms of merino, but I am not sure if the new stuff is much different or better than what I already own. Time will tell I suppose.

"(I don't think I've ever seen another one with a hood like the FL has!)."

KUIU Superdown has a hood and it's a great piece of gear so far.
