Full geekdom on display....................
I added base layers to my puffy information and a couple heavy insulated pieces. I'm re-designing/evaluating all my hunting clothing. I'm mostly just tweaking at this point but have discovered I really like the First Lite products - alot. I also wasn't aware Patagonia made so many good pieces - I'm gonna need to sell my truck and buy a Prius next <G>
I still like Kuiu but I've never cared for the fit of the Guide jkt. I have a large but when I layer under it, it gets tight in the chest and arms in a hurry. I'm certainly not Arnold. I tried an XL and all it did was look like a dress on me. I bought a pair of FL North Branch bibs this fall and really grown to like them. If FL would add a hood to their North Branch jkt, I'd make the switch. Rumor has it, its going to be introduced in the next few days. We'll see.
I have this on a spreadsheet if anyone is interested.
