Sling bow? You just listed a bunch of items not even allowed on the show. And I don't think the Crunch multitool has been made for years. You're going to wear non-breathable tape pants in the far north? You know that would instantly cause condensation on the inside of your insulating layers and ruin them until they could be dried, don't you? No, of course not, because you've never done any of these things. At least little boys playing cowboys and indians actually get out and play about what they're doing. You just exist inside your head in whatever facility others take care of you in, don't you? Hopefully the security is decent because if you'd ever escaped it's pretty clear you wouldn't survive long.

I've spent a few hundred nights under a plow shelter, and if you'd watched the show you'd have seen I spent my last night next to a "Siberian fire lay". But it's pretty clear you haven't spent a single night with that arrangement in those temps, because it's completely inadequate and the wind changes thru all four directions every single night where I was. A lean-to is what is used with that firelay (as I did on my last night) because the peak of a plow point would catch fire with the fire being anywhere close enough to effectively heat someone. Your theories make you a laughing stock among all of us by the way. The number of jokes you've been the butt of would be hard to calculate.

If 5 months in solitary wasn't hard for you, then you're mentally ill. But we all already know that from your years of trolling the contestants of the show and constantly changing your name. How many meals did you have to kill and forage in that cell? Was it 90 degrees below room temperature in there? How many calories a day were you burning and eating? Being locked in a cell because you're not mentally capable of being around others is very different situation, and not voluntary.

@@RAYANDERS-w4t my pleasure.

Most warm garments are lined with a thin slippery fabric. Cover cloth will not move smoothly with the garment you wear under it and will be constricting and feel like a suit of armor. Since the interior of garments rarely experience abrasion this works out fine. You're not likely to find what you're looking for because of that. I'm not recommending Filson products anymore anyway, however. They've been sold again and laid off their US workforce while simultaneously further exploding their already overpriced products. Sad but true.

@@ResilienceOnPurpose I agree to a point, i think Nylon works great as a interior fabric yet this one is srsly too thin. i would prefer like a 20-30 denier. I do however know a dry cover cloth will be hard on other layers as i have Filson jackets that have this on the inside and i much prefer it! I would however still recommend Filson products as i have several of their old stuff and several of their new stuff and honestly all the fud about the new stuff being worse is not true. Yes it's made overseas now but no it's not worse, if anything i prefer their new mackinaw wool products over their vintage ones.

Holds up perfectly against all winds that aren't uprooting trees and tossing Moose & Cattle 300' up off the ground. It's not, however, "windproof"; it's not a "windbreak" or an impervious outer shell garment. It's a breathable wool garment; breathable, like, as in, breathing, which is a two-way process. It'll let your vapor breathe out, and, will let wind breathe in. How easy and how much of this two-way breathability it will possess is dependent upon: 1) The garment's thickness, and, 2) The closeness/tightness of its weave. Asbell offers several thicknesses of wool textile, "blanket-weight" being their thickest, heaviest (29 Oz/Sq.Yd.) weight wool. Their next lightest is "extra-heavy", below which I don't bother going, but, all have their very legitimate purposes & applications. So, there's your long A to your short Q.

I haven't owned any of there stuff in over a decade, but I loved a vest of theirs I used to have. Looks pretty good, I'll probably pick something up from them one of these days.

Costco

They are Micklagard pants, yes. Don't recall the model name, but it's their top of the line. I'll be doing a review of them this winter, so keep an eye out.

You have one?

Thanks

I consider them very legit. Thanks.

Thanks Ted. I'm glad you appreciate them.

Thanks, that is good to know. In all honesty though, a 650 and 800 fill down are equally as warm, just one is more heavy. What matters is thickness of insulation. Weight isn't really a thing to worry about in this already heavy jacket. I hope it fits the bill for you!

@@ResilienceOnPurpose thank you! I wondered about that after I posted because I don't think I understand much about how down insulation ratings/weights relate! Sorry to be dense, so what you're saying is that for the money, the down should be lighter so the jacket's a little lighter too?

@@kbb149 yeah, not a big deal for a hunting jacket. But if you need ultra light stuff because you're backpacking or Mountaineering it matters a lot. It comes down to how much of it is down and how much is feathers.

It's a much different type of piece, but I've been very happy with the new extreme cold weather gear that Carhartt is making. I have their parka with the faux fur lined hood and it's been great. Designed for working in the cold and very well priced.

Thanks! Share it around!

Good points, but I have to disagree that Filson is workwear. Maybe field work wear, as in for a biologist or timber cruiser, but by far the bulk of their stuff lifestyle wear. I have several more Filson jackets and I will never swing an axe in any of them because they just don't have that cut and they are far too stiff and heavy to be worn that way. And Filson agrees with me, because they just released a line of workwear specific clothing. Unfortunately Filson is going down the toilet fast. Carl Murawski did a good video of the companies history and it's kinda sad. They've been bought and sold so many times its hard to keep track of. I was also told by a buddy yesterday that apparently Filson just laid off most of it's US manufacturing workforce after another management change. Another one bites the dust. I'm glad I got what I like of theirs before learning more about the nature of the company and where it's heading. I have a bunch more Filson gear I could be reviewing actually, but I recently decided not to highlight the brand anymore, even though it gets me the most views. It's a bummer to see something you once looked up to sell out so hard.

@@ResilienceOnPurpose actually no, Filson doesn’t agree with you. Filson released a line of budget workwear because as I said above, they have priced themselves out of the range of the average working person. And yes, Filson’s heritage clothing, anything with ‘cruiser’ in the name has its roots in the original formation of the company, which started making outdoor work clothes for loggers and miners going to Alaska. The customer base they have now may buy a mackinaw cruiser as a lifestyle piece but the cruiser jacket is a forester’s work jacket. A tin cloth jacket is very much a work jacket. This is the Carhartt of 1901. As far as you’re assertion that ‘x’ is far to heavy to be worn a certain way, I think you have a very limited perspective. I’ve been a tradesman since I was 15. Mechanic, deep-sea diving, building and facilities maintenance. I wear legacy Filson products, like tin cloth, mackinaw, cruisers, cruiser vests, etc… to work indoors, outdoors, on buildings, on cars, remodeling, blacksmithing, fabricating, on and on. I am also surrounded by coworkers who do the same. Filson’s reputation is as an outdoor workwear company. Their legacy products, the ones they’ve been making for over 100 years, are absolutely workwear first. It may not be to your preference. Your observation that the average Filson customer isn’t buying it for work is probably accurate. Doesn’t change the facts.

@@JimLBon agree to disagree. I suppose mechanics uses some different ranges of motion than the woods work and carpentry I do. Or maybe my shoulders are just built different, although I've heard this criticism from many others. Calling their work line "budget" is a stretch. Aside from the occasional hat or vest, I can't ever recall seeing Filson on a job site that involved getting dirty. Who's going to work on an oily transfer case in a $475 sweater?

I’m not saying you’re incorrect in the essence. In fact, I’m agreeing completely that your overall statement is right. However, if it’s a legacy sweater that was originally designed by Filson in 1922 for use by commercial fisherman (and priced accordingly at that time), which they used to do, and they are reissuing that old design as a legacy product and now selling it as a lifestyle product for 500 bucks, it is still a work sweater. The cut, the intent and the design will all be the same. You can use a framing hammer for jobs other than hitting nails. I’m not making a value statement or suggesting the intent of the consumer. Why do you think Filson makes a ‘Packer’ coat? I guarantee the average person who buys it today is doing it for a lifestyle reason. Why do you think the Packer coat is cut the way it is? Might it be because when it was designed 100 years ago it was built for a packer? Is packing a lifestyle choice?

I guess the best way I can sum up what I’m trying to say is that using your logic, if enough people buy Dainese jackets and just wear them as a lifestyle choice, and Dainese continues to make the jackets the same way they always have, for use on a motorcycle, that it must no longer be a motorcycle jacket. Or, also using your logic, that because Dainese makes t shirts and ball caps that have no specific motorcycle application, Dainese doesn’t make motorcycle gear. I also guess that because most Carhartt I see isn’t on a job site that Carhartt also doesn’t make workwear. You catching the drift here?

What's different between yours and the newer ones? Aside from the stated down quality.

Carhart denim logger pants. I find they last longer than their canvas duck version.

Miklagaard. Made in Sweden. They rock!

@@ResilienceOnPurpose love it checking them out now! Thank you!

@@user-nw2si7hu3u tell them I sent you please!

@@ResilienceOnPurpose you got it i absolutely will! Wish they had a rep in the USA but really impressed by their products. I am happy to mention you for sure ;) thank you for educating me about them

Glad I got in when I did then.

@@ResilienceOnPurpose I was actually going back to buy the hunting bibs, but they went from $395 to $495. Unfortunately, I'm not willing to spend that much, although I really want them.

@@hamiltoes yikes! Yeah, there are other bibs out there.

They are still worth it in my opinion

I'm 6' with a 6'3' arm span. It's size L. You can go back and watch me lift my arms near the beginning when I give the numbers.

@@ResilienceOnPurpose Thanks man, appreciate it!

Right got it. Thank you for mentioning

@@markhiggins3054 Sounds like you found it, but it's called Otter Green I believe. Good fortune.

Score! I hope it works well for you.

Miklagaard's. They're from Sweden and I recommend them without reservation. They make a few models and some epic parkas and anoraks too.

I had the same question thanks! Awesome review

My question is how does the wool compare. I've been looking at a bunch of brands and want to know if Asbell can be worn itch free without a long sleeve Merino base layer. My Sleeping indian is great quality, but itchy without full coverage base layer. I've heard that Weather Wool can be worn next to skin with no itch.

That are completely different jackets. Filson wool is like putting on a suit of armor. If you plan on moving allot, like swinging an axe, you may want to try it on first and see if it works for you.

@@ResilienceOnPurpose I wish I could try on one of their Wool Mackinaw jackets. Local retailer only had a few Filson's and the Down Cruiser was there and I really like it. Just wasn't sure if it was what I wanted to drop $500 on.

@@ericmoss8344 you may want to see what else is out there first, depending on your needs.

I live in the upper midwest, the single mack and a nice sweater will be more than adequate for your typical winter if you're walking around. I only bring my double mack and wool packer out when it gets to "I shouldn't be outside" levels of cold.

@@rustyshackleford17 thanks. Always nice to get people's real-world input. I wish there was a local store (Tulsa, OK) that had these to try on. Plus, our winters are not nearly what you guys experience... usually it comes in short waves (15-20 degrees F mid-winter is cold for us, w/occasional ice and snow.) Even when it snows here it's normally in the 20-30*F range w/wind chills being what feels cold.
