This is an IHeart podcast.

First Lights Navigator hoodie was built and tested where plans fall apart and weather doesn't ask permission.

It's built to perform, built to last, breathable insulation that dumps heat fast on the hike-in,

stretch fabric that stays silent for close encounters, moisture control that wicks away sweat on

the packout. Because in the field, the plan shifts, the wind changes. The moment comes sooner

or later than you thought. When it does, you adapt without hesitation. First Lights Navigator

delivers on versatility no matter the situation. It happens to be my favorite piece of gear they make right now.

I live in it.

I'm Dirk Durham.

I see all the time on social media.

Yeah.

Probably the last time I saw you was a Colorado show or maybe Western Hunt.

Western Hunt Fest.
