Companion forum thread to: Episode 89 | Fall Layering Systems
In episode 89 of the Backpacking Light Podcast, we are going to talk about fall layering systems.
QUESTIONS:
1.) What SIZE SUL .75 Down Sweater do you wear compared to the normal sweater/jackets & upper clothing you wear?
2.) Do you find getting it over your head a LITTLE difficult without a zipper AND would like a larger circumference opening or zipper to aid ?
3.) Did you size up the heck dimension when you purchased the SUL?
4.) Did size up the SUL SIZE to your NORMAL body sizing to accommodate putting it on and taking it off the sweater?
5.) Do you find anything you would do differently in the sizing or fit of the SUL?
Thanks, and your presentations are extremely well done!!
A few dollars more than Darn Tough.
