Title: Cabelas Outfitter Fleece?
Post by: MichaelJ on August 03, 2009, 12:41:49 AM: Anybody own any of this stuff? The reviews are awesome for it, but I can't seem to find any specs for weight on the stuff... is it pretty lightweight and will it pack down small into a stuff sack for headin to the backcountry for a week or so? Thanks!

Michael

I have checked them out at the lacey cabellas, they are a bit bulky, relatively light as stuff goes, would probably compress ok.... The only problem I have is with the price. That pullover I want is about $190... :'(

I'm looking at the non windsheer version/non hooded version that will be a sept backcountry garment, as well as something for later in the year... if I get into super cold I'll wear my RW jacket over the fleece, but I think I can get their non hooded full zip jacket for $60 out of the bargain cave right now! Also need some underarmour and they have a super nice down vest on sale for $25 that would be awesome for the backcountry... lol

Post by: MichaelJ on August 03, 2009, 08:10:38 PM: Well thanks guys! Just put in an order for a Large Cabelas Outfitter fleece, only paid $60 for it instead of the regular $80, also bought a cabelas down vest, and a cabelas "X-tech" medium weight upper... (kind of an under armour knockoff, I really couldn't push myself to pay $40 for a T-shirt type garment, just need something to keep my dry and be a good base layer)! My buddy also bought a pair of the kings camo hunting pants... with shipping we only paid $140 so not too bad! Here's some links to what I bought:

I bought the wooltimate top and bottoms last year and love everything about them EXCEPT how bad they pick up burrs and things like that. I laid down in a wheat stubble field one evening and stood up looking like a porcupine. I spent hours picking that stuff out of my clothes.
