TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.Re: Active insulation Macpac Pisa

Sounds like you might be laying it to rest or will you try for a hooded vest?

Yep the Pisa is better for that as the Nitro really needs to be totally protected from snagging but even the Pisa has a few small snags in it and only very minimal scrub use. I looked at the Nitro as more of a deep cold base layer

Nitro worn yesterday in the blues under a lightweight goretex. Weather was around 7 degrees C with persistent drizzle. Works really well in those conditions, got a little warm on the hills, deploy pit zips, all good. Same set up most of the time in Tassie a few weeks ago but with overpants or rain skirt and prothermals tights.
