Does anyone have any experience with the sanctuary kit? Is it noisy like the the Uncompahgre jacket?
I run the Sanctuary. It is really quiet, and it is nice and warm.

I currently run a Kings Camo kit with 2 medium heavy merino layers for late season in MN but it gets a little crunchy/noisy in the single digit temps. What do you run for base layers on a low single digit day when the wind is blowing in MN?I have the full set. Extremely quiet. Even in cold weather. Very comparable to fleece as far as noise.
I love how lightweight they are. The bibs are great at dumping heat if you need to. Not totally wind or waterproof but they are an awesome set of cold weather gear. Well worth the discounted price.

Ive heard good things about first light base layers, any feed back from you guys?
They are all good. Depending on what temp you are looking for. They cover a good range. Merino wool is remarkable.Ive heard good things about first light base layers, any feed back from you guys?
I would agree with this.They will get beat up if you are going through thicker areas if it is an outer layer.Dont expect durability from the merino tops and the obsidian pants. I cant recommend hiking in them if you live in thick areas of briar and under/mid story brush.

Yea, the Sanctuary set is for real. Hunted last year in -9 temp and being 100 percent honest, I was never cold. Also had furnace base layers on, and catalyst system over that, but being able to enjoy snowy hunts in -9 in December is totally worth the $500 IMO.
It’s really pretty comical...I’d take my hands out of the pockets and they would immediately lose all functioning abilities...but back in they went and I was all good. Full disclaimer the temp was actually 8 but windchill was -9...so in deer hunter language, it was like -47.Last year we had a winter storm come through started with freezing rain then settled in the low 20s / high teens. I put a light rain layer over the sanctuary, and especially with that added layer, I was kinda chuckling to myself in the tree I was so comfortable, felt totally invincible. So wasn’t -9, that’s impressive, but another success story.
