I’ve been pleased with kuiu and highly disappointed in Firstlite, with that said firstlite switched to product similar to kuiu nuyan so durability should be better

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got several quarter zip shirts. They are ok. But they are itchier than most merino to me (not that soft). They also have a tendency to start smelling like......sheep....after a few days.
I like the First Lite Aerowool better than anything else I’ve tried. It is the schiznit.

Never tried the FL socks but the Benmore boxers are killer. They are Aerowool and aren’t crazy long like the Red Desert boxers.

Had 4 pairs of red deserts crouch blow out and 6 pairs of socks rip about two inches above the heel.
Kuiu socks are the bomb, but you have to follow washing instructions, not as forgiving as darn tough or smartwool.
I may try the heavier weight merino x boxers this year. I pretty much only wear merino socks and boxers all year now

That terrible feeling when you have play money to burn, but you don’t need any new gear. Could I upgrade some things??? Sure! But with really only one big elk hunt this year...kind of a weird feeling.
Anyone use sat phones lately??? I used to have two of them when I did a lot of calls into and out of Afghanistan...but no idea what happened to them.
