Testing New Sitka Gear

Lab testing can give you hard data on permeability, breaking points, heat retention, SPF, etc etc. But there are some metrics that can't really be quantified. For example, here we are testing a new hood design for high speed winds. Could we come up with some lab scenario...probably. But, isn't it sometimes just more fun to take it out and see if the design really is bomber. Here's a clip of Kevin, PK, and I, out searching for some new Striper hotspots, running at 40-50 mph with a 10-15 mph headwind. The new hood design...bomber. In fact, the entire jacket...bomber in high wind.
Best part, this is just one test. Now we get to make some tweaks and get it back outside.
