Wondering what colour you have in the vest please? Thank you

@@markhiggins3054 Sounds like you found it, but it's called Otter Green I believe. Good fortune.

Can you tell me what pants you are wearing?

[@ResilienceOnPurpose]

Miklagaard's. They're from Sweden and I recommend them without reservation. They make a few models and some epic parkas and anoraks too.

Bought this vest but returned it, surprised that nobody is talking about the ultra thin inner lining! That nylon must be like 7denier it feels like i can poke through it with my finger! Very weird on a piece like this that should be a lifetime piece.. That is the only reason i returned it. They could have lined the inside with dry cover cloth and it would have been 100x better!

[@ResilienceOnPurpose]

Most warm garments are lined with a thin slippery fabric. Cover cloth will not move smoothly with the garment you wear under it and will be constricting and feel like a suit of armor. Since the interior of garments rarely experience abrasion this works out fine. You're not likely to find what you're looking for because of that. I'm not recommending Filson products anymore anyway, however. They've been sold again and laid off their US workforce while simultaneously further exploding their already overpriced products. Sad but true.

@@ResilienceOnPurpose I agree to a point, i think Nylon works great as a interior fabric yet this one is srsly too thin. i would prefer like a 20-30 denier. I do however know a dry cover cloth will be hard on other layers as i have Filson jackets that have this on the inside and i much prefer it! I would however still recommend Filson products as i have several of their old stuff and several of their new stuff and honestly all the fud about the new stuff being worse is not true. Yes it's made overseas now but no it's not worse, if anything i prefer their new mackinaw wool products over their vintage ones.
