First lite 40% sale on damn near everything

I saw they added a wind proof membrane to their outerwear, I was thinking about upgrading but it hasn’t ever bothered me. I might hold out a little longer

Same here, I have the Solitude set and it never seemed to let the wind in like some reviews claim.

Don't own any First Lite. Any specific pieces of gear that I should look at for deer, turkey or duck hunting?

My first piece was the furnace 3/4 zip, it’s 350 merino wool it was bought to be a layer under a light jacket and it’s almost to warm. I wore it last year a several times in the 30s with just a sweatshirt over the top.
I bought several more pieces and now have the kiln hoody with the intent of it being a stand alone layer when warmer or under a light coat or vest when cooler.
I have a buddy that wears his kiln for Turkey season and it’s fine from 50s to 80s.
I will probably buy a set of merino kiln zip off base layer bottoms and a merino vest.
One thing to keep in mind that the merino is very warm and is great when wet but it’s not very durable as in busting through briars

I fricken love this newer tech clothing but man is it ridiculously expensive!!!

Picked up some corrugate guide pants in Fusion, a sweatshirt and some Mercury lightweight crew socks!

If I didnt have a few already I'd certainly pick up some short sleeve wick shirts at that price.

Fine, I’ll get some wick stuff too. I agree about the solitude stuff, with good layers you can cover everything from 5 degrees to 40 degrees. I would’ve kept the sanctuary stuff but almost ANY movement and you start sweating.

That was a text I had saved from a few years ago when I asked what one of my buddies wore on his elk hunt in Wyoming. I was asking for a buddy that was going to Utah, he ended up piecing together some kuiu.
My buddy that hunted Wyoming said he wore that get up and would add the puffy when sitting and glassing they were rifle hunting and had snow.
