Thanks for making this, I’ve been on the fence since the Aerolite came out. After watching your review I pulled the trigger on the Blizzard system. Sitka owes you some commission! 😉
Have you tried the Hudson Jacket at all? Trying to decide between this Boreal Aerolite and the Hudson. I know the Boreal will be a little warmer but the outer GoreTex shell on the Boreal doesn't seem as robust or durable as the Hudson as its a 2 layer vs the Hudson's 3 layer GoreTex.
Honestly they're both very durable. I have both and the Hudson does run a little longer but both great jackets. I find myself using both as intended. If the temps get crazy low I run boreal if I want to layer more cause I know it's going to warm up I run the Hudson. Hope this helps
