This is the show the gear heads have been waiting for! On this episode Adam welcomes John Barklow, Category Manager of the Big Game line at SITKA, on to the show. Adam and John dive into the intricacies of selecting the best apparel system for YOUR hunting environment and the concept of “exercising your system”. They also tackle the benefits and limitations of merino and synthetic base layers and try to clarify exactly how membranes factor into your apparel decisions and frankly survival when the mountains throw their worst at you. John brings a truly unique background to his role at Sitka and his stories of putting Navy SEALs through the “rewarming drill” are not to be missed. He also gives us a teaser on what’s in store for the 2017 SITKA Big Game line-up. HINT, it’s their biggest launch yet! Enjoy! Instagram: @sitkagear Web: www.sitkagear.com
