But did you get an animal on the high hunt
Tbar:
Is anyone running Sitka dewpoint? Opinions?

How does that affect my ability to recommend gear?

I have the deepoint set. Once I got the chugach I put the dewpoint away. Dewpoint wouldnt holdup to all day wet like chugach would. I like chugach so well I pack it always even though its 50% heavier than dewpoint (which isnt much)
DJoakNuts:
After spending thousands of dollars on gore-Tex pro stuff and eVent stuff I have finally gone all the way around to ponchos. Waterproof AND breathable is something that only works in brief rains in desert country. Something like the Exped Pack UL Poncho and gaiters will keep you as dry as you need to be and because there is a draft it will not steam you to death.
Save your money on permaloft Gold synthetic insulation that stays warm even if it’s wet. Check out the Sitka Kelvin hoody(2019) and use Vaseline on your feet.
Also, in regard to sleeping bags, check out mountain laurel designs and get a synthetic SPIRIT QUILT 28 ° and wear your clothes and non-gore-tex boots (with fresh socks).
