SKRE Gear 2020 New product releases & member reviews

[realunlucky]

Thinking of ordering the hardscrabble pants for an upcoming elk hunt. Worried about how warm my legs may get hiking up and down mountains in October. Any reviews?

With the hip vent openings on the sides of each leg the hardscrabble's will allow your legs to keep plenty cool in October no matter how hard your exerting yourself.

How cold does it usually get where you hunt?

Any one that is going to be in southern Utah during the next few days needs to stop SKRE Gear head quarters in Hurricane Utah. They'll be offering free BBQ at lunch time along with some other free give a ways. You can also get entered to win some amazing prizes in the Skre Fest Raffle. I'm hoping to head down on Friday hope to see some Roksliders down there.

The temp is projected to be from 20-50 depending on the day.

What are your opinions on the timber hitch belt? Do they flex pretty when you crouch or lean over? I'm thinking of how some stiff webbing belts or leather belts won't budge when you reach down for something or lean over. Do they slide much or come undone? Do you guys like the buckle?

Sorry if this was covered already. I didn't see it if it was.

Coming from the military I've used lots belts of similar design a ton. I haven't had the buckle on the timber hitch loosen at all while wearing. The buckle is stout but still thin design and I've had some pretty heavy pack loads over it without it rubbing. The webbing is pretty stiff but not really that thick so I'd guess it would bend if needed. I've worn this belt a bunch and never needed it to bend like that. I did a review when i got so I'll try and dig it out for you. I'm not home or I'd do some testing for you right now.

Ran skre gear for last years bow season in western New York and Pennsylvania. I really couldn’t be more impressed with the quality and customer service with skre gear. Perfect for the new mobile archery hunter. Is there any plans on adding packs to your lineup? I’d love to see a pack with the mobile tree stand hunter in mind!

I love the new early season hat from Skre. One thing that I really like about it is it doesn't have the button on top it was replaced by velcro. I hope to see Skre come out with a patch or something for that.

The button was removed so when the hat is worn under shooting muffs there's nothing pushing into the top of your head. Works great too.

Which system would be comparable to the first lite catalyst?

It's highs of 95 lows of 60, it's hot out here. Thankful for some well thought out early season gear. Seen plenty of bucks just waiting for it all to come together

@Singleshot I'm not at all familiar with the the catalyst system. Looks like it's a heavy soft shell for later season.

@skregear could chime in on thier favorite recommend system for those conditions.

My opinion is that SKRE only offers a single softshell option -- the Hardscabble jacket and vest. The Kodiak pants are a great pairing with the Hardscrabble upper set. Down side is you'll need to add some mid layer insulation to equal the catalyst system but a slightly less insulated outer shell should provide a more versatile layering system over all adjusting for warmer or colder temps with your other layers.

I received my SKRE Elite Starter Bundle yesterday. I was honestly blown away. My buddy and I are getting ready for a September elk hunt in Colorado, we've been stressing about gear a lot lately. Seems every time we think we have it figured out we end up returning everything upon delivery bc it didn't live up to the quality in the description. Then I came across SKRE bundle sale. I can honestly say this gear is pretty well just as nice as my fathers Sitka gear. The best part is it is probably 40% cheaper than Sitka, FL, etc. I encourage everyone to give SKRE a try. The only thing I think is off is the sizing, but no biggie just order up. I am generally a L-XL guy, In the hardscrabble pant and jacket I am switching to XXL. Like I said though, that isn't a big deal.
