[QUOTE="kbaerg, post: 1138745, member: 38023"] Figure I better update a little. I went out and purchased myself some First Lite gear last week and was able to use it on part of an Elk hunt (cut short due to Family emergency) and opener deer season here in South Dakota. I purchased the North Branch pant and jacket along with the Uncompahgre puffy all in the Fusion camo pattern. (Scheels had a good sale on these and I had few gift cards to burn):D. While on my elk hunt I wore the pants and puffy. I spent my first day and a half sitting in some snow glassing, and the pants kept me dry and warm and jacket was plenty warm. I was happy with how nothing felt bulky. During our deer opener here in South Dakota the weather was 10 degrees at 5:00 a.m. so I layered up and went out with the pants and north branch jacket and put my puffy over that. I walked into my spot and sat there till first light and started glassing for deer all while being comfortable and warm just sitting. My season ended as I had a smaller buck show up early a.m. at 650 yards and gave me good shot so I took it. During the time my new gear kept me warm and I was happy to finally have some good clothing that will last a while and MOST IMPORTANT it fit really well. I will hopefully be back out west to try and fill my Elk tag and give my gear a good workout. (Sorry on sideways pics not sure how to fix) [/QUOTE]
