The New PATHFINDER from GFA!

[TradBrewSC]

Do they not have the Pathfinder listed on the website yet or did I overlook it?

I have been wanting to order one of their garments, and that is my favorite design so far but would really like it in evening stand brown. anyone know what patterns it is available in?

NEVERMIND! I should have read all of his comments!

Nice....I gotta get one of those or the other model Thom has....gonna put it on my Christmas List.

LOVE the 1/4 zip and would gladly pay extra.  The 1/4 Zip make it's comfortable in a much larger range of temperatures.  Nice to unzip when dragging a deer too.

I like it also and would prefer the 1/4 zipper.  Many times it is nice to unzip as  you are walking or dragging out your deer.

I'd ditch the zippered pocket before I'd ditch the 1/4 zip

I like that.....and could use a new pullover....the one I have now is close to 20 years old, a v-neck.   But I would definitely prefer a 1/4 zip to vent.   Maybe offered as an option??

We specifically wanted a zippered pocket on this one. Teresa's regular pockets are excellent, and pretty secure, but we wanted something that could be counted on to FOR SURE secure something valuable. It all started with a debate over taking cell phones to the woods. I'm dead set against it......but always do. The only reason I do is that I hunt 95% of the time alone....and I'm not getting any younger

I would agree with the others, great looking pullover but I'd vote for the quarter zip to stay along with the zippered pocket.

Gotta have the 1/4 zipper on these pull overs, and why not offer them in other colors?

Regarding the colors...Teresa matches up the different wool patterns with the pattern of the garment. Many of them don't work, especially overlaying pockets, etc. Also, she is trying to sew up several for stock. The spools of wool she uses are HUGE....changing out and moving them around is a days project in itself. Remember, this is a handsewn, one at a time operation. When I first started my website a few years ago, we did lots of specials and custom orders.....it darn near shut down production.

None of this is to say Teresa can't accommodate folks with a special requirement. She can. But for things like this....a launch of a new product...she tries to build up an inventory so it can ship smoothly.

Did you have to pay Theresa extra for the 'slimmer look' material? Looks like you're loosing a little weight there Sledge.      

That Zippered pocket right there is a GREAT idea. Great name and great looking garmet.

Looks like an awesome design, I like the zippered security pocket too.  Like you I hate taking my cell phone with me, but the peace of mind it gives my wife when I can let her know I'm safe and sound, back on the ground is worth it.  Are the hand warmer pockets separate or is it one big pocket?

[Terry Green]

I do like the zipper pocket accessory that could come in handy also for hand warmers that wouldn't take up room in the pocket as well as the other items you mention

I have some Asbell wool and have always liked it. I really like the looks of the kangaroo pocket on this model and that little zipper pocket. I think my binos could fit in there. I know my phone would.

Terry's idea about the hand warmers is good too. I hadn't thought of that.

I have the Anorak and like that one a lot.

Happy hunting y'all!!
