The past two weekends have given me an opportunity to get some serious time in the First Lite Chama and Springer.
To say I am pleased with their performance would be an understatement. In fact it was warm enough with the Chama alone about halfway up the hill. The Springer vest is a little thicker and was put in the pack to make the hike in a little more comfortable.
Both of these layers will be worn in conjunction with a Kuiu Guide Jacket as an outer layer. Rain gear has yet to be determined for this season, but it will likely be something from a clearance rack somewhere.
The seams look to be very strong, and they fit me well as a tall guy. Neither article of clothing bunches up at the belt line, or where the pack makes contact with the hips. This has been an issue in the past with other pieces of clothing.
I should have more to say after a short trip this weekend with this gear. In the initial use they have functioned well, and by the end of the summer/fall I will have much more to say in regard to this clothing.
