This shirt comes in sizes up to 3XL as well. Over the late fall and into winter, Joan’s worn this every week on our hiking, camping, and backpacking trips.

@ramblinghemlock of West Desert Gear & Repair made @ramblinghemlock of West Desert Gear & Repair made me a 40F synthetic over quilt today to augment my down quilt. A synthetic outer quilt not only add warmth to a three-season quilt but also helps with condensation issues and protects the inner down layer. Looking forward to using it in colder weather!
