Summary

For the past 2+ years, we have been working on some apparel pieces with the guys at Outdoor Vitals. After extensive testing and refinement of the designs, these clothing items are finally set to be released in the coming months. In this conversation with Brigham Crane, the Product Design Director at Outdoor Vitals, we discuss the background of this unique project, dive deep into the design details of each of the three pieces (puffy jacket, active mid-layer, and pants), and share the timeline for these new items to come to market.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Huntback Country podcast. This is episode number 530, and our guest today is Brigham from Outdoor Vitals. As you'll hear about,
0:25.1	Brigham recently joined us on a death hike recap of this year's death hike, but he's back on
0:30.3	this episode about something entirely different, and that is a clothing project that we have
0:36.2	been working on with Brigham and Tason and the other guys at Outdoor Vitals for really over two years at this point.
0:44.1	We tell the entire backstory of this project, how it came together, why it came together, the pieces that are included, and ultimately the pieces that are going to be released here over the next couple of months.
0:59.0	We break down each of the three pieces in this line, and I will leave timestamps for the discussions around those three pieces.
1:07.0	So if you want to skip ahead for any reason and hear about the puffy versus the active
1:12.6	midlayer versus the pants, you can do that. This is a long conversation we go in depth on as
1:20.2	many aspects of this as we could within a reasonable time frame and answer a lot of the questions
1:26.1	that you guys have been asking.
1:28.6	If you haven't seen these pieces or heard Steve and I talk about them on the podcast,
1:33.4	you can kind of get some glimpses of them in the Experience Project hunt films.
1:38.9	In all those hunts, we were wearing some of the pieces that you will hear us discuss today,
1:45.3	although a caveat colors and some details did change. Those were prototypes that we were using this past fall
1:51.6	as well as numerous other guys that were testing apparel as well. Again, we'll cover all that.
1:59.1	As always, I hope you enjoy this episode.
2:01.7	If you have any questions, comments, or feedback for us, be sure to let us know.
2:06.7	It'd be good to hear from you.
2:08.0	Just send an email to podcast at exomontgear.com.
2:11.5	Right now, let's dive right into this conversation with Brigham.
2:23.4	Well, Brigham, welcome back.
2:30.4	Last time you were on the podcast, it was post-death hike and you crushing the rim-to-rim,
