I am looking to purchase a warmer jacket or vest. I'm torn between the First Lite Solitude jacket as an end all warm jacket, or if I think I can get down to around the 30 degree mark in the Fanatic Vest, with layers.
The idea of my arms free for Trad bow hunting is why I'm considering the vest and from what i can tell its extremely warm. I would like to wear my base layers, wool shirt or fleece pullover and the vest. down to about that 32 degree frosty morning. Anyone have a similar setup and what temps you got down to?
My other question I guess is, do I just get the solitude jacket and have the warmth down to the 30 mark maybe colder. The solitude seems to be plenty warm but also has a good fit and cut for the bowhunter. Any takes on this? I feel the solitude jacket could go over my base layers and a hoodie and keep me warm. I would like to not be stacking so many layers this season. Also the new line of solitude now has the windstopper which could aid in cold weather.
Both pieces I will more than likely pack in and put on once I'm in the tree.
any experience/thoughts with these two pieces would be helpful
