I Haven't Been Catching Fish But I'm Staying Comfortable With Some Fresh Goods From Huk
Over the past few weeks, I have been trying to get out on the water a bit more to see if I can hone in my fly fishing skills and to just be outside more so I don't lose my mind. While I've been out there I've been putting some new stuff from Huk to the test. It's late November and it's still warmer than normal for Utah, but cool enough in the canyons for the Huk KC Print Leeward Lightweight Fleece Hoodie, and Crewman KC Print Insulated Jacket in the mornings and then just the lightweight hoodie in the afternoons. I just got a pair of their Rogue Wave Boots as well that I will be wearing this winter, most likely as a pre and post snowboarding boot, since they are easy on and off and waterproof.
I wear an XXL in most tops and the XXL in the lightweight hoodie and the jacket are both a perfect fit. I am 6'3" and weigh around 265 lbs. these days. The hoodie has a nice bit of stretch and is super comfortable directly against the skin. If provides a nice bit of warmth on its own without being too hot and also protects against the sun in case you are pigment challenged like myself. The jacket worn over the lightweight hoody provides the perfect amount of warmth when the temps are down closer to freezing. The jacket is insulated with 80 grams of synthetic insulation but also has a super soft sherpa fleece interior providing extra warmth and comfort. There are two hand pockets that are sherpa lined as well as a large interior pocket to stash more stuff if needed. The Crewman jacket also has a super durable Cordura outer shell that feels like it's going to handle some abuse.
I've only worn the boots to the grocery store so far but they are quite comfortable and easy to slip on and off. While wearing them I was surprised and how secure they were and the boots didn't have any slop to them. The heel pocket is nice and secure and the boots feel like you've laced them up without having laces. It's like magic. Now just start doing your snow dances so we can go snowboarding!
