Mark also discusses Active Insulation mid-layers, including Sitka's new Ambient collection, and how that piece compares and performs against similar mid-layers, including grid fleece, and also other "breathable" insulation layers, such as those using 3DeFX insulation (Kuiu Kenai, Outdoor Vitals Ventus, Patagonia Nano, etc). Note: Mark mixed-up the Katana and Kenai names when referencing Kuiu pieces in this podcast. More on the Sitka Ambient: sitkagear.com/ambient
