I got home early from work today, and found a USPS box on my front porch....not unusual this time of year. When I saw the return address, Teresa Asbell, I knew I was going to be a happy guy. Inside was this high collared vest (sorry for the poor picture, all I had handy was my iPhone)I imediatley pulled it on and went back outside (remember when you were a kid and got new sneakers, and you went outside to run up and down the road? Same thing). This vest, with it's high collar, is WARM. I came in, and checked the Asbell website....nope, it wasn't on there. So I called Teresa. She told me that it's an insulating material called "Sherpa". She intends ths vest to be part of her insulation system, coupling it with the Wind Blocker vest. Teresa said it should be sized right to wear under a Wind Blocker, or you can just wear it on its own, under a wool pullover. I will be in the treestand tomorrow night, and I think this vest will be my first layer over my longjohns.
The collar is the best part. It sort of softly conforms to your head and neck, covering your ear, neck, nose and mouth. Pulled down lower, it just covers the neck. It conforms enough, that it won't get in the way of a bowstring.
I will test it out in the real world tomorrow (Teresa said Fred already loves his, yep, he got one first :D )and let you know how it goes.
Thanks Teresa, you are awesome!!
p.s.....I suggested the name "Sherpa Insulating Vest"....if you guys have any ideas, Teresa says that it is unnamed as of now.
