Q&A

When pairing a large ptarmigan puffy with a hardscrabble jacket should I size up to an XL or stay with a Large

That is a great question. Our gear is built as a layering system, meaning it is meant to be layered under and over. A lot of our customers will order both jackets in the same size, while others will upsize the Hardscrabble Jacket to fit over the top of the Ptarmigan while layering. If you prefer a little extra room I would recommend upsizing while if you are not to concerned about the extra space, you will be fine with ordering both Jackets in large.

I ordered the 2XL and found the jacket too large and then ordered the XL with a little too athletic of a cut for my taste. Any chance of a XL King or something in the future?

Sizing can sometimes be challenging. We will continue to improve on sizing.

On 8/15/22 an answer to a previous question stated that current Hardscrabble jackets did not have harness pass throughs, but that all future ones would. Do the ones currently being sold have a harness pass through? This is an important feature for me and would appreciate an update. Thank you.

Yes, the latest version had harness pass through.

Is the Hardscrabble jacket considered windproof?

Yes, it has a microfleece layer under it.

Could this be used with the 1/4 zip base layer and the 300 hoodie to stay warm in upstate ny in late november. Some days get down below 20

That is tough to answer, people regulate temps so differently. For most it should be enough, but other factors including wind chill and humidity may call for additional bundling such as the ptarmigan down jacket.

Can the hood be removed on these jackets

No the hoods are not removable.

Does it have a slit in the back for safety belt?

Currently the Hardscrabble Jackets in camo do not have slits in the back for harnesses. The new solid color jackets do have harness pass through. All Hardscrabble Jackets moving forward will have them as well.
