Seems the older and thinner I get, the colder I get. I've been looking at the kelvin vest and seems like it would be something that would help. I've looked on Sitka's website and I can't seem to find them, only the Kelvin Lite. There are a few for sale on AT and a few on Ebay and Amazon. The only thing I do is stand hunt, so with that in mind what are y'all's thoughts on these two items. Blessings..........Pastorjim Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I think the original Kevin was discontuined in favor of the the lite version. the lite version is just that lighter weight ...it works well as a layer and is warm for it weight. it will pack small in youhr pack when it's not needed. the down side of this vest would be if your primary using it for whitetail stand hunting it is purely an under layer bacuse of the material. I really think there are better Sitka options for insulation layers for the whitetail hunter, the active jacket, shaket and Celsius will all insulate as well as the Kevlin lite but will do so quiter and allow you to shed your outer layer if needed.
Jim, Check out the Nomad stuff. They have the Dunn vest and the Primaloft jacket and pants. They worked really well for me last year when the temps got down to 25.
Hey Craig, how's the StealthCam wireless working out for you? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
Good so far. Lithiums last about 3 months in mine. The night time pictures are not great but day time seems clear.
I have a Kelvin vest, the original not the lite. As mentioned it is strictly an inner insulation layer due to the materal, makes a sound like a sleeping bag, or wind breaker jacket. Weight to warmth it much greater than the shacket and fanatic vest (I have each to compare). That said, of the three I usually wear the shacket.
