I'm trying to get setup for early season and keep coming back to sitka because the quality of their old mountain pant. I looked at the current line and the mountain pant is significantly louder than mine. it seems to be a different fabric and all but the apex appear to be louder than my old sitka pants and tops. have they changed the fabrics or have mine just worn in?
since I still need something lighter than the mountain pant and like most things about apex i'm wondering if there's something else to compare with it? also, who make a quiet, breathable, thin jacket that has a full zip? i haven't seen anything like it in sitka and i can't lay hands on the kuiu line to know what they feel like. waterproofing isn't a major concern since i carry rain gear for afternoon T-storms.
thanks in advance
