11
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: But my I just want to give a little bit

12
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: on myself. We're gonna do a little host intro bio today.

13
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: I spent twelve years as a hunting and fishing guide,

14
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: mostly down in Colorado, a little bit, uh little, did

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of guiding in Old Mexico, but mostly Colorado.

16
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: Also did four years at the same time, I did

17
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: four years in retail, which was good. Um. I didn't

18
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: necessarily always like uh folding T shirts and sweaters, but

19
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: I did get to sit through a lot of pre

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: technical gear what do they call that, phil when like

21
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: a rep comes to the store, and then clinic gear

22
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: clinic training. Yeah. Um, and just I enjoyed that part

23
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: about about selling retail. You know, it's cool to learn

24
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: all about the new, latest and greatest and stuff, and

25
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: it just it opened up my sort of my experience

26
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: with all the gear that's out there by just being

27
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: able to work with, you know, all different types of

28
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: brands and products in the store, which was Starmaking Sports

29
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: and Edwards Colorado. If you ever down in that neck

30
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: of the woods, which is Eagle County, Colorado, go check

31
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: it out. It's a cool store. And then I've also

32
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: done ten years in outdoor TV production as many of

33
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: you know, producing Meat Eater television and uh doing Me

34
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: Eat podcast with Steve and now doing my own show

35
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: on the Hunt with the Honest Pitelis, which is available

36
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: on the Meat eat or YouTube channel. So, yeah, short

37
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: little bio on me Jordan's let me hear, let me

38
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: hear what your last twenty years have been all about? Yeah.

39
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: So started, uh originally from northwest Nebraska on a family ranch.

40
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: Was where I grew up and went high school and

41
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Um, So I started guiding there and

42
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: that's really how I started, I mean just getting into

43
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: hunting stuff. I started guiding and then I really like

44
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: cameras also when I was in high school and college,

45
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: so picked up camera started filming just uh, you know,

46
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: meeting people and making contacts. One thing led to the other,

47
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: and I started filming for an outdoor television show and

48
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: that took me all over the place. And that's really

49
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: we're like the Western hunting bug I think came from.

50
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I always wanted to go out west before

51
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: and do my own hunts. But then when I started filming, um,

52
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: you know, that obviously opened my eyes to a lot

53
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: of things. And I got a lot of experiences in

54
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: a lot of different places, on a lot of different hunts.

55
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: And that's I was able to try a ton of gear,

56
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, doing that, a bunch of different gear and

57
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of different situations and environments. And I just

58
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a gear junkie anyways. And I don't

59
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: know really why other than I just like knowing what

60
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: I take and more so the why behind why you're

61
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: taking it. And uh, that's one of the reasons I'm

62
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: super excited for this podcast is to you know, bring

63
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: all that so consumers can make a more educated purchase,

64
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, going on some of these extreme hunts that

65
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: you only get to go once in a lifetime. On. Yeah,

66
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: that's a a good point about like being a gear junkie,

67
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: and and then it kind of transitions right into how

68
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: much money you spend on gear. I felt like there

69
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: was years for sure where I was guiding Elk Counts

70
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: and I was spending as much money on the gear

71
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: to to go and guide as I was probably making

72
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: throughout the whole season, just because I was so into it,

73
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, trying different foots or backpacks or whatever. And uh,

74
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: I've never been known to be like a great real

75
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: frugal you know, with the with the cash, but uh,

76
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: I guess that's what's hopefully helped me in to give

77
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: me some experience so I can do this job better. Now, Um,

78
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: I wanna you didn't really hit on it too hard,

79
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: but I want to ask you a question you've been on?

80
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: How many sheep punts have you been on? Not for

81
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: your personal self but just all total? How many sheep

82
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: punts I'm pretty sure are I think it's sixteen now, oh,

83
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: with this last Wyoming hunt that I filmed last year,

84
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: and how many of those have been in Alaska? There

85
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: have been one in Alaska and that was mine. Okay,

86
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: so that was your first time up there. Sheep hunt

87
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: was when you went. Yeah. Everything else was desert big

88
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: horns in Mexico. Uh, I've done three, three or four

89
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: of those, and then um in Wyoming a bunch of

90
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: big horn sheep punts was most of it. Um one

91
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: stones in the Yukon, and then my dollar sheep in Alaska,

92
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: so only only one in Alaska. What was the first

93
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: thing we wanted to hit on Jordan's I pulled a

94
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: listener question out um talking about what's a key item

95
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: that you change in your pack from early to the

96
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: mid season. So that would just be in my mind

97
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: considerations of the weather changing more so probably than anything,

98
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: start getting snowstorms in that like late September, early October

99
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: and then on through October, I suppose. Um, So yeah,

100
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I think one of the bigger things for

101
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: me is that temperature dropping and wanting to add in

102
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: my own compadre puffy pants into the mix to make

103
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: the early mornings of glassing and later evenings a little

104
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: more comfortable. Yeah. Man, I love those pants, and a

105
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: lot of times with those pants I've come to not

106
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: packing even on the back country hunt, not packing long

107
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: underwear and just doing regular pants and the uncompagre of

108
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: puffy pants because I know that we have zip off

109
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: Long John's now, but it's even easier, I think, to

110
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: zip off those uncompagres, and those things are so much

111
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: warmer and so much thicker, and um, like you said,

112
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: kind of seems like something you're gonna wear first thing

113
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: and then last thing in the day, and so it's

114
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: really easy to zip them off, cram them into the

115
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: bio of the pack, and not really pull them back

116
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: out until later. So I like them. Although it might

117
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: be a little bit heavier than going Long John's, like,

118
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: it's definitely way way warmer. But yeah, that's a nice

119
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: piece of gear. Um I was gonna go with. I mean,

120
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: obviously closed in general, you're just gonna be packing a

121
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: little bit more because you're gonna have to just have

122
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: more installation, you know, to stay warm. But I would

123
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,559
Speaker 1: say that one of my main like items of gear,

124
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: and it's kind of a two part thing, but it's

125
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: like shelter and then like the sleeping system because early

126
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: season I'm always just trying to like push it and

127
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: go as light as possible with the lightest sleeping bag

128
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: and the lightest shelter as possible, because you know, even

129
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: if you get a little wet or if something crappy

130
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: happens in early September, it's usually just not gonna last,

131
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, and it's not gonna be enough to drive

132
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: me out of the mountains. But like if that happens

133
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: in October and you get kind of miserable, boy, it

134
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: is very easy for that to push and back back

135
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: to the trailhead. So um, I'm gonna go to definitely

136
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: a zero degree bag. Like I like to sleep warm

137
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: and like to be super comfy, and so if it

138
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: gets into October at all, I'm going zero degree bag

139
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: even late September sometimes, and I'm happily going to carry

140
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: that extra little bit of weight. And then there's gonna

141
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: be no more tarp shelters or like just like the

142
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: super lightweight stuff, I want a more robust shelter that

143
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: I can really count on to stand up to the wind.

144
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure that I got all my guidelines

145
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: set up. I got plenty of steaks, you know, to

146
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: handle a wind event or handle like a heavy snow event.

147
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: And then if I know or if I think it's

148
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna be on the colder side, Like I'll pack a

149
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: floorless shelter like a again depending on how many people

150
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: are gonna be in it, but like a seek outside

151
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: Simmarron or Red Cliff, that I can have a stove

152
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: in and burn wood and be super comfy. Like I

153
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: know a d for a fact that I've been in

154
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: a ton of just really good hunting conditions really because

155
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: you like it when it's cold and it's snowing and stuff.

156
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: It just keeps the animals on their feet more. But

157
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: if you can't stay comfortable in those conditions, you know

158
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: you're not going to be out there. But having that

159
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: shelter that you can come back to in the evenings

160
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: light of fire, warm up, dry out, some gear, sleep

161
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: super comfy and toasty, it keeps you out there and

162
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: thus hopefully makes you more successful. Yeah, huge mental boost

163
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: being able to to come back after a long day

164
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,239
Speaker 1: and uh let the fire. It really changes your attitude

165
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: or it can um and make you a little more

166
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: excited about having to uh you know, get up early

167
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: the next day and go out and do it again.

168
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: So that's one thing on my list as well, is uh,

169
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: start thinking about when you you know you get snowstorms,

170
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: especially that early October time frame. Seems like those snowstorms,

171
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: just like late September, really wet and sloshy. They might

172
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: melt pretty quick, but also means they're pretty wet and

173
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: um being able to go light a stove and dry

174
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: all your stuff out again, it's just gonna let you

175
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: be more comfortable and stay out there longer. So that's

176
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: something certainly on my list. Oh yeah, it's a dent.

177
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: The difference between miserable and like very content and happy. Yeah, yeah,

178
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: it makes it makes a huge difference. A simple thing

179
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: called fire. Yeah, that's another thing that's definitely got to

180
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: be considered later too. I mean other things to go

181
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: right along with that, like fire starters one you've got

182
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: to be thinking about. I think a little bit more,

183
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: especially for the safety side of things. If you get

184
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: in a situation, you have to start one. So I

185
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: really like that pyro putty. Have you used that? I

186
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: haven't used actual pyro putty. I have something similar that's

187
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: called like a as a bit cube, which is actually

188
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: used for they make a whole there's a whole like

189
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: cooking system, stove system that uses these little cubes um,

190
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: but it's basically like a small little cube. I don't

191
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 1: know how much it weighs. It might be like the

192
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: size of my thumb weighs the same as my thumb,

193
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: but it'll it burns for ten minutes, one little cube.

194
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's should give you ample time to

195
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, add on your kindling and whatever and get

196
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: yourself a ripper going yeah, yeah, I think a good

197
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: fire starter is good, like very flammable to give you

198
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: a good base to start with. And then I mean

199
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: I usually take a tarp with me all the time anyways,

200
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: but I would say, especially when the weather starts, to

201
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: turn a tarp to block the wind and shelter you

202
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: from the elements if there's just a squall that comes

203
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: through something. So it's just like a small tarp, super

204
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: pacable something else that I always have with me. And

205
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: when we transition into those later months, like yip, I

206
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: was gonna say that something that I change, but it's

207
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: not really a change because I like to carry an

208
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: arrow will net gator in the hotter part of this

209
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: season to keep the sun off me. But then I

210
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: usually always have a net gator too packed in for

211
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: when it gets colder. And man, I feel like it

212
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: is one of those pieces of gear that just can

213
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: really save my butt because I'll just have it. It's

214
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: weighs nothing. It's so small. I mean, it weighs like

215
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: the amount of the same amount of like a handkerchief,

216
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: and I'll have it tucked way in a pocket. And

217
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: if I'm sitting somewhere and it's been a while, I

218
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: feel like myself I'm getting cold. Man, I hopefully I remember,

219
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: but I put that sucker on and it just seems

220
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: like that actual little tighter layer around my neck insulates

221
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: all that blood moving, you know, between my body and head,

222
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: and uh, just seems to make a world of difference.

223
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: So net Gator, let's feel like it's one of those

224
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: pieces of gear that super lightweight, doesn't take up a

225
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: lot of space. Alright. Next segment is ask the experts.

226
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: Matt Derosier's from First Light is here with us to

227
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: explain breathable laminates. And that's like that little thin layer

228
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: that's inside of your water proof raine jacket and inside

229
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: other jackets that basically keeps like the big heavy moisture

230
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: from the outside world from coming in. But yeah, it

231
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: lets the steam and the you know, sort of sweaty

232
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: environment that you've created on the inside to move out

233
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: through it. So MAT's gonna help us understand exactly what

234
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: those are, how they work, and um, what you should

235
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: expect of them. Um when you go and buy a

236
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: rain jacket or another jacket that has a breathable laminate

237
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: in it. Take it away, Matt, you want to give

238
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: a little intro on what you do for first Light. Yeah, So,

239
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: like Jordan's said, my name is Matthew Roger's. I'm the

240
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: senior category manager of Western Big Game product at first Light. UM,

241
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: and essentially the scope of my role is to kind of,

242
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: I guess like be the custodian of overseeing the total

243
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: business of of what we make and how that and

244
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: how those products life cycles track in the market and

245
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: ensuring we're addressing the correct needs of the consumer in

246
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: the market and building the correct gear. So it kind

247
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: of spans responsibilities across the business scope, the creative scope,

248
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: the market, the scope of the market, and then working

249
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: with our design development teams to ensure that those needs

250
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: I see, um, from both consumers in the market, etcetera,

251
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: are being met correctly inappropriately. UM. So it's it's kind

252
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: of a left brain right brain role. I guess sometimes

253
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: you're you're all numbers and sometimes you're creative. And I

254
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: find it very fun because every day is a little

255
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: bit different. But um, you kind of get to put

256
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: your hands on everything in terms of bringing new products

257
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: to life. Awesome. Let's just go to like breathable lamb

258
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: in it one oh one and just really like not

259
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: even looking at it from a first light perspective, but

260
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: just sort of, you know, explain when someone's like talking

261
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: breathable lambinates are looking at breathable lamb and it's like,

262
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: what exactly is that and what does it do? Yeah,

263
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: So there's a tremendous amount of science and engineering and

264
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: work that goes into these laminates that essentially are hidden

265
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: in your garments. Um. They're they're usually sandwich between you know,

266
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: the outer layer and the inner layer of a garment. Um.

267
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: So you have your lining facing your skin or your

268
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: base layer and your outer layering in between. There you

269
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: have these very thin, flexible layers of material. And there's

270
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: two types. There's usually have either a microporous laminate or

271
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: like a monolithic laminate. Microporous is there's teeny teeny holes

272
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: in it. That won't let it drop. Their too small

273
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: out a microscopic low will for a drop of water

274
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: to pass through it, but they're large enough that condensing

275
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: moisture vapor from your body like sweat, can pass through

276
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: it and escape the garment, So they're they're repelling any

277
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: moisture that's getting to them. A droplet of rain, for instance,

278
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: can't get through it, but your moisture vapor when you're

279
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: sweating as it's condensing, is leaving the garment due to

280
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: the tiny holes and those layers, those microporous layers are

281
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: usually what's considered a hydrophobic layer. And it's sounds very technical,

282
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: but like it's it's a phobic. It's it's like a phobias.

283
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: So the layer actually repulses. It's like, for lack of

284
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: a better word, scared. It has a phobia of water

285
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: and pushes water away from itself. And that's kind of

286
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: the really traditional type laminate you'll see in most garments.

287
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: You know. That's where like that's kind of like where

288
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: you're to use a household name like gortex uses a

289
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: traditional microporous laminate that's hydrophobic, and that's kind of like

290
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: where you're your o g laminate science starts. Who's condensing

291
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: it or how is it actually condensing? Like it's like

292
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: the moisture is leaving my body and it's in the

293
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: space between me and the jacket. Where does the condensing happen? Oh,

294
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: your body heat is gonna is what's condensing as it's drying.

295
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: It's it's becoming gaseous within the jacket from the heat

296
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: within the jacket, from the heat with your body. So

297
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: it's as it's drying, it's returning to a vapor of vapors,

298
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: a state of vapor, and that's what can actually be

299
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: pushed down. Now that's not to say every droplet of

300
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: sweat that's coming out of your body is gonna, you know,

301
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: be pushed out of the jacket and returned to a

302
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: gas to state. But like that clammy feeling when you're

303
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 1: sweating and it's getting humid in a in a jacket

304
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: under high exertion, that's water vapor. That's sweat in a

305
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: gas to state, and that's what you want to push

306
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: out because it's actually you don't want that vapor to

307
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: actually condensed inside the jacket because then you have a

308
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: bunch of water droplets forming inside the jacket and getting

309
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: you wet a second time. So you want it to

310
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: condense itself out of the jacket. Does that make sense?

311
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: You're staying like condensed once it's outside of the jacket.

312
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: You want it to you want it to leave the

313
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: jacket before it's condensed back to a liquid. It's almost

314
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: like a greenhouse, you know, like your greenhouse gets humid

315
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: and has water vapor in the air because of the

316
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: humidity being trapped in there, and what you want the

317
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: jacket to do is be releasing as much of that

318
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: as possible, you know. I mean most of the time,

319
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: what people are looking at breathability ratings, they want the

320
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: highest breathability rating of the highest ret rating. That's saying

321
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: that when you have that humid gas in the air

322
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: inside the jacket, it's getting pushed out of the jacket

323
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: before it becomes liquid again and absorbs into your insulation

324
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: or your base layer, et ceteras. You really want it

325
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: out of the jacket before it becomes water again. Okay.

326
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: And like the simplest form, it's literally like a very

327
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: when you say very thin layer, like how thin is it? Like?

328
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: Is it even like if you if you're just holding

329
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 1: up a piece of a breathe able laminate, Like, can

330
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: I see through it? Is it that thin? Usually not,

331
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: you can't see through it. It's usually like a you know,

332
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: they're usually like grays and silver's um. If it was

333
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: if it was like more of a a knit, you'd

334
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: probably see through it, but then it would let a

335
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: lot of water through it. But I mean to actually

336
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: hold one a layer of that laminate, they're so thin,

337
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: it's like it's like cellophane thin. It's you'd almost be like,

338
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: I can't believe this stops water. They're so ultra thin um.

339
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: And it's really just the chemistry that goes into them

340
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: and how they react with you know, when they come

341
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: into contact with both varying states of liquid that makes

342
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: them waterproof and allows them to breathe at the same time.

343
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 1: It's it's really incredible if you think about it, it's

344
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: something so thin does that. And and that's I think

345
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: that's another good point, you honest, is that's why it's

346
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: so imperative to have like a good lining in a

347
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: jacket and protect those laminates, because once they become contaminated

348
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: or take over exposure that you know, they start to fail.

349
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: So having like a lining in a jacket is imperative

350
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: that keeps the oils from your skin out of it.

351
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: It keeps dirt, it keeps blood when you process an animal.

352
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: It keeps all those like external factors from getting into

353
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: the laminate and very quickly ruining it. And that's kind

354
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: of where you see the separation in terms of quality

355
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: of gears. It's like, well, this is constructed in a

356
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: in a sense that after a season or after a

357
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: hard hunt, it's not going to fall apart. It's going

358
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: to the lambin. It's not going to be flaking off

359
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: or coming apart. It's protected and you're gonna get years

360
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: of use out of this versus a cheaper jacket where

361
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: that laminate gets contaminated quickly and it's it's a one

362
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: season type deal. Okay, you were saying there's another kind

363
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: of laminate though, that this one that you explained. It's

364
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: like gortex is a you called it microporous, yep. And

365
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: then what's the other kind. So there's monolithic laminates, which

366
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, I guess kind of subject to the word

367
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: a monolith is a is a singular, never interrupted sheet.

368
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: So you'll have these don't have holes in them. It's

369
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: almost literally like similar. I guess to just create a

370
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: like a layman's term to understand it. It's almost just

371
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: like a sheet of cellophane. It doesn't look like cellophane,

372
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't act like cellophane. But there's no holes. It's

373
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: it's an uninterrupted continuous sheet of laminate that can be

374
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: laminated in a bi component way, which you can have

375
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: a microporous and a monolithic stack together. Um, those don't

376
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: have holes. What those do usually when you see a

377
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: monolithic laminate is there what's called hydrophilic. Now, remember the

378
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: microporous was hydrophobic and pushed it away. Hydrophilic is actually

379
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: going to attract moisture that it finds into itself and

380
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: then work to overtime condense it out of itself. So

381
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: having a monolithic layer, it can attract both sweat in

382
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: a garment or water that's made it through let's say

383
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: a microporous layer or through a seam. It can attract

384
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: that into itself and trap it and then over time

385
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: work to push it out of the jacket again and

386
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: condense it out of the rain layer. So that's where

387
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: you kind of see like bi component laminates, you get

388
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: a microporous and a monolithic layer, one hydrophobic, one hydrophilic,

389
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: but they're working in tandem together two stop any precipitation

390
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: from actually making it to you internally while also moving

391
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: your sweat that those condensed vapors out of the jacket

392
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: to keep you comfortable and dry internally. Okay, Jordan, any

393
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: questions on breathable laminates. I think the only thing I

394
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: had was you talked about like a rating system. Is

395
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: that something that like the consumer sees that in some

396
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: marketing with some garments of like, hey it's X breathability.

397
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: Can you talk about that a little bit? Yeah, I

398
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: mean a lot of times you'll see UM, historically you've

399
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: seen m v TR rates, which is moisture vapor transfer rates. UM.

400
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: You see those in a lot of places, and that

401
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: actually comes from that actually comes from other industry, is

402
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: outside of textile industries, which I mean you can get

403
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: into a whole theoretical discussion about that, UM, but those

404
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: are essentially looking at how many grahams squared of moisture

405
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: vapor over a twenty four hour period can be pushed

406
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: out of the jacket, so in a gaseous state, which

407
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: if you think about it, is like in a twenty

408
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: four hour period doesn't really help you at the moment

409
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: in a hunt. It might be relevant to and over

410
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: to drawing overnight, but I mean, I I work with

411
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: this stuff, and I don't you know, to look at

412
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: how much area a gash a gasso is uh condensed

413
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: liquid spreads over the inside of a jacket and moves

414
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: at how many millimeters over twenty four hours, that's a

415
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: lot of work to figure out of how breathable this

416
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: jacket is. UM. What we've looked at is actually called

417
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: r E T testing a rhet a rent level, and

418
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: that's kind of a more direct test that was developed

419
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: to look at under exertion. UM. It's actually people like

420
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: on a treadmill at certain ten picture ranges, what is

421
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: the comfort level and what is and that's based on

422
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: looking at like what the temperature level is, how long

423
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: it takes to sweat. There's very there's a bunch of

424
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: factors that go into that lab testing, but it's actually

425
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: a direct um reciprocation of how comfortable you would remain

426
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: at what levels of activity in those garments. So it's like, okay,

427
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: we're trying to build a tank of a system right

428
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: now where you know, let's say you're you're in Prince

429
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: of Wales Island and it's thirty four degrees thirty five

430
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: degrees and dumping rain. So the priorities for this to

431
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: be absolutely shut down to water passing through it, and

432
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: you're already in cold tempts. But then you might say, hey,

433
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: the r T test on a new lighter weight, packable

434
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: rain system where you might be in the inner mountain

435
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: rockies and you're in a rainstorm, but you're still expending

436
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: a lot of energy. It's still let's say fifty five degrees,

437
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: it's forty five degrees, it's warmer. How long do you

438
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: stay comfortable in that system and that type of climate

439
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: versus is a system at thirty eight degrees that you're

440
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: not moving in. So it's more of a I think

441
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: the REET testing is something that's that's more applicable when

442
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: we look at these because it gives you a more

443
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: real world benchmark of how the user is gonna feel

444
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: and how it's going to perform as compared to just

445
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, a a volumetric measurement over twenty four hours

446
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: of a gas moving through a textile got it. So

447
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: how do you get a jacket tested for rent. We

448
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: work I mean we work with you know our mills

449
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: UM that then have we have like third party testing.

450
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: It's really cool. UM they have literally like weather chambers

451
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: UM which we do all the different testing on. And

452
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: then they have like mannequins who are in the simulated

453
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: situations and they have sensors tracking that, and then they'll

454
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: it'll even go to a point where we'll have people

455
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: going the weather chambers and where the garments through like

456
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: her simulated hurricane conditions, light rain conditions, and will you know,

457
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: look at what came out of the testing on paper,

458
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: and then look at you know, the photos and videos

459
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: of how the guy comes out of the chamber or

460
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: the cal whoever's wearing it, and like, oh, well he's

461
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, And that can also be beneficial as you

462
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: might be like, hey, this thing's this textile superwaterproof, but

463
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: he just came out of the chamber and hey the

464
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: hood opening is too big because the top of his

465
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: his T shirt is soaking wet. So you know, it

466
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: helps in a lot of ways to identify not only

467
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: of just like those benchmark rhet testing and m b

468
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: TR and waterproof rating stuff like that, it also measures

469
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: it also kind of helps you see where there could

470
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: be inherent design flaws in places for improvement. It helps

471
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: you look at durability so that we use labs um

472
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: kind of all over the world to do that, depending

473
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: on how and where we're producing this, and um, it's

474
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: actually very interesting to look at dang. Yeah, well, should

475
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: we get into uh, the like why there's four and

476
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: a half layers in the OMEN? Then Jordan's yeah, I

477
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: think so. Yeah, So to bring it full circle, so

478
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: the OMEN is four and a half layers, and that's

479
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, I think that number can be

480
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: a little misleading at times because you hear four and

481
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: a half layers and you're like, oh, oh god, um,

482
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: but not all those layers are actually layers. So on

483
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: the on the furthest outer layer, you obviously have your

484
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: face fabric that you see that's where your cameras printed

485
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: or your your color way. Like what's facing the rain.

486
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: Let's say, um, that is a full polyester plane weave.

487
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: And that's while that sounds just kind of not exciting,

488
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: the important thing there is the plane we've reduces geometry

489
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: or structure on the face of that fabric. Because you

490
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: also have your d W R, which I'll speak to

491
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: in a second. But d w R will always inevitably

492
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: reach a point of saturation and start to fail. And

493
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: that's why you need That's why you need the laminates

494
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: and the membranes in the jacket, the waterproof breathables. But

495
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: that plane we've being so flat and plainly woven, there's

496
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: a structure, there's no geometry like you know, there's no

497
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: ridges like in your genes, let's say, because once that

498
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: dw ARE fails, the isotopes get crushed and start allowing

499
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: water through. Any geometry is gonna absorb water and make

500
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: it easier for water to start getting in the face.

501
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: So having that plane weave is critical, and it also

502
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: reduces any opportunity for snags and tears. You know, it's

503
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: it's it's easier for a BlackBerry sticker to brush off

504
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: a plane weave than something that has structure to it

505
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: that a thorn can grab into. So it also protects

506
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: the jacket um. And then we also used C zero chemistry,

507
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: which is a non polyfluorinated dwr UM. That's a big word,

508
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: but I think people, I mean, we've seen in response

509
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: to it, a lot of people ask questions about polyfluorinated.

510
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: So I think I think the outdoor community is very

511
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: aware of how bad polyfluorinated dw rs and chemicals are. Um.

512
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: They basically get on you, they get an environment. Um.

513
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: And if they're they're not good, they're they're horrible stuff.

514
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: So um, Europe's already outlawed it. So I think, just

515
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: in a responsible fashion, both for the environment and for ourselves,

516
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: and just in staying compliant with different governments in different worlds,

517
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: polyfluorinateds are going. UM. So we used to see zero

518
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: d w R, which performed actually better than past polyfluorinated

519
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: dwrs in our testing that we spoke to. UM. But

520
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: and it's not nearly it's not as nasty of a

521
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: chemistry to be coding. So it performed better and it

522
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: was greener, is the simplest way I can say it

523
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: does the dw R account as one of the layers. No, sorry,

524
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: we count that as part of the face layer. When

525
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: we say four and a half it, um, so that's

526
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: your first layer, that's your face. And I mean I

527
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: said a lot there, but that's all I think extremely

528
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: relevant to how the garment actually works. Yeah, it mean

529
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: it sounds to me like if you if you looked

530
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: at it under a microscope, that first layer we'll just

531
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: look very smooth and instead of bumpy, which you know,

532
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: if you pour the water on a smooth surface, it's

533
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: going to roll off easier than if you put it

534
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: on a bumpy surface, right, I mean hit it on

535
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: the head. That's like exactly. So that's your first layer.

536
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: Your second layer is a microporous polyurethane lambing it like

537
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: I spoke to. Your third layer is a monolithic polyurethane

538
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: layer like I had spoken to. And then we have

539
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: a half layer that is actually screen printed onto that

540
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: monolithic layer. And what it is is we always talk

541
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: about thirty seven five active particles here at First Light,

542
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: and we've actually put those particles it's an active carbon

543
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: particle into a screen print and printed it and you

544
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: can see it in like a pattern. When you look

545
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: inside the omen jacket underneath the lining fabric, you can

546
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: still see this repeating pattern. And that's that. And what

547
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: those active carbon molecules are doing are attracting. They're helping

548
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: to attract that water vapor, that condensed water vapor as

549
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: you're sweating into themselves and into that monolithic layer and

550
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: they're heating up and they're attracting your infrared heat. So

551
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: as they heat up and attract that water, that condensation,

552
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: they continue pushing it and keeping it as a vapor

553
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: because they're moving so fast with your infrared heat and

554
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: pushing that sweat and humidity inside the garment into the

555
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,959
Speaker 1: laminates and then out of the jacket. So that's kind

556
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: of where we've had feedback that you know, OMEN doesn't

557
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: get clammy, it doesn't get that humid feeling, and that's

558
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: because the thirty seven five, those carbon molecules are working

559
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: to keep moving that condensation actively out of the jacket

560
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: with the laminate. And then after the that the jackets

561
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: finished with a lining um which is just black on

562
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: the OMEN and it doesn't Again, it's kind of like

563
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: the face fabric. You wouldn't really think it's something real

564
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: sexy to talk about. But back to what I said before,

565
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: is having that lining there is keeping the oils and

566
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: the dirt, blood, anything else in the environment and from

567
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: your body from contamin aiding those laminates and ultimately giving

568
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: you a garment that doesn't fail and start leaking after

569
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: a season or two season. It's giving you a garment

570
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: that can resist contamination and actively let the laminates continue

571
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: to do their job for year after year. And that's

572
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: the four and a half layers. So you have face

573
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: fabric one, two laminates, a half layer of the third

574
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: we consider we say the thirty seven five screen prints

575
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: a half layer. I mean, if you really chopped it

576
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: up in all terms of layers, it's like a point

577
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: one percent of a layer, but we just kind of

578
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: call it out that way. And then you're that final layer.

579
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: Is that lining protecting the laminates. Yeah, it does sound

580
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 1: like a lot of layers because I think most of us,

581
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean that remember usually it was like a three

582
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: layer rain jacket is kind of most common, right, ye yep,

583
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: And that's that's usually you know, face fabric, a microporous layer,

584
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: and then a lining layer. So they're they're they're losing

585
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: that by component, they're losing that second monolithic layer are there,

586
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: and they're not having that half layer thirty seven five

587
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: we use. And I mean the intention of OMEN was

588
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: always to build like, you know, a severe weather storm

589
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: shelter and kind of lead the charge as a new

590
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: era of inclement weather gear follow weather gear for first light.

591
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: So that's kind of just been like, hey, let's let's

592
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: build this for the absolute worst of the worst, Like

593
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: I said, like thirty five on Prince of Wales and

594
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: in raining all day while you're glassing. That was that

595
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: was the intention, and also an environment I guess Prince

596
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: of Whale is still a good example where you can't

597
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: rip the thing. You know, you got flown in, you

598
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: have flown in on a super cub and you have

599
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: one set of gear. You don't want to go radio

600
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: out there. Hey we've got to leave because I slash

601
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: my jacket on a you know, the hunts over because

602
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't have a rain layer anymore. It's I kind

603
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: of wanted to be something that's just out of your

604
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: mind and not a concern, and that was that was

605
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: the point of omen for me, and that's why we

606
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: ended up with a four and a half layer. Yeah,

607
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: I've personally been purposefully, personally, purposefully been busting brush in

608
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: that jacket, just trying to put some holes in it,

609
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: and uh, yet to succeeds. So if it's one thing,

610
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: it's tough really well, I know, I mean we've we've

611
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: talked in depth about this for a long time, so

612
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: it's good to hear that it's not busting open on you. Yep.

613
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 1: I haven't done a full season and yet, but soon

614
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: enough I'll be able to report back to you about that.

615
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: What about you, Jordan, I used it? Yeah, you had

616
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: it up in Alaska on your sheep hunt quite a bit. Yeah,

617
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: I had it in Alaska on the sheep hunt. And

618
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: then when we got back, he took it to Wyoming

619
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: on a sheep hunt and you know, on and offul

620
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: horse on that hunt, and courses are hard on things,

621
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: and it was it seemed to be. It was fine.

622
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: And then later later season when it snowed, I was

623
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: wearing the pants to keep my regular pants dry. And

624
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: I mean really no complaints on it. I really like it. Awesome, awesome, Hey,

625
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: real quick, I was gonna ask what, uh it's I was.

626
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: You know, I'm always hoping that we can sort of

627
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: educate the uh you know, the listener is to be

628
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: like a better consumer. So if they're out shopping jackets

629
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: that have breathable laminates in there, what's like a takeaway

630
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: that you can give them? They're like, yeah, next time

631
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: you're out looking at it, you know, some outerwear and

632
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: you're thinking about breathable laminates and what they're gonna do

633
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: for you. It's like a simple way that they can

634
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: apply what they learned today to what they might buy.

635
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: That's a great question, UM. And you know, each each

636
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: company in our industry speaks to ratings differently. UM builds

637
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: different systems for different purposes. I mean some some companies

638
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: only gonna build one set of rain gear for all.

639
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: Some are gonna do kind of what we're doing and say, hey,

640
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: we have like a the worst possible case scenario system,

641
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: we have an intermediate system, and we have like maybe

642
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: once a year in archery season, you pull this jacket

643
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: out for fifteen minutes. I guess I think owing and

644
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: being realistic with what you really expect to encounter and

645
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: what you expect to do is to me the benchmark

646
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: of where to start shopping. I guess. I mean the

647
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: ratings just aren't published like one through ten. It's not

648
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,959
Speaker 1: like you have a one rating and a ten rating.

649
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: It's it's a lot different and a lot of companies

650
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: withhold that. I mean a lot of mills and labs

651
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: and stuff who build these laminates they do withhold it.

652
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: It's not published information for a lot of reasons. You know,

653
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: they're protecting proprietary information. They're protecting intellectual property. And I

654
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: think sometimes ratings can be misleading because I guess here

655
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: this might answer be honest this previous questions, Like people

656
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: can get so hung up on a rating and a

657
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: number um that they failed to buy what conditions they

658
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: actually needed for So they're so hung up on saying, hey,

659
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: this has a this has a twenty five thousand breatheability. Well,

660
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: all it takes to be better is a thousand and

661
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: one breatheability. Now, technically that's better, But is that true

662
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: that that garments better? Um? I don't think so. So

663
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: I think ray things published can be a little misleading,

664
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: and most people aren't trained to really understand what the

665
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: ratings mean or even know how those tests are actually done. UM.

666
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: Testing can be manipulated in labs, and we all know.

667
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Greg said it in one of

668
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: the original white Tail videos is he's never killed a

669
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: buck in a lab before. You know, like, just because

670
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: something does very well in a laboratory, it's a great start,

671
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 1: But then really understanding the field conditions and how that's

672
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: going to perform for you in the field is more important.

673
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: So I think I think ratings are a great thing

674
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: to be taken into account, but that's not the end all,

675
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: be all, always of how something is gonna work for you.

Speaker 1: Thanks Matt, Yeah, absolutely, thank you. All right, well, um,
