I’m curious too. Maybe it’s just the pics I’ve seen but they seem much more streamlined than the prior version and the fanatic.

I have. QUick summary: It feels like the same exterior as the previous incinerator but it is FAR less bulky. Clearly less bulky than the Fanatic. Feels like a lightly insulated version of a slightly bulkier Stratus. Bulkwise it's between Stratus and Fanatic -- very impressive in this regard (assuming it's as warm as expected). Same exterior as previous Incinerator.

 

Not interested then. The bulk+goose down fill of the incinerator is what made it great and warm.

Thinner than fanatic and $200 more MSRP? No thanks.

 

The new insulation is supposed to be just as warm without the bulk ...I have the jacket on the way to me now.

 

I have primaloft gold in some other hiking gear. This is a lower grade insulation and will not be as warm as down

• Synthetic PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation with Cross CoreTM technology replicates the warmth and compressibility of down, but with the benefit of warm-when-wet performance
• Lightweight high-loft insulation (35% recycled) is infused with silica aerogel, a nearly weightless material that’s com- posed of more than 95% air and acts as additional thermal insulation

 

It is hard to believe that if they are that much thinner, they are as warm as the fanatic.

 

I'll have to feel it in person and listen to others thoughts for this season before I make a decision. But if it's as warm as the original and packs down that small I may sell my fanatic set. Itd be sweet to pack between my backpack and beast stand for those deep mobile hunts. Even if it's not as quiet

 

Found this video ..Sitka is claiming it’s twice as warm

 

^^ IF that is true I wouldn't mind having those bibbs! Ouch that pricetag tho..

 

They have a bunch of them at my local shop, the incinerator is super thin and lightweight, hard to believe it will keep you warmer than fanatic, but I certainly trust Sitka so I'm sure it will be awesome. I just dont need it that warm right now. Fanatic is about as cold as I hunt these days. I use it all the way to just under 0 degrees.

 

I had the older incerator bibs 2 years ago. Though they were nice, imo abit noisy using for bowhunting up close for whitetails.
The fanatic set has served me awesomely last couple years. With a couple layers under the fanatic it's good to go! And yes, I am midwest hunter

310 - How cold you typically wear your fanatic bibs? Debating on Incinerator vs Fanatic for late season. 5 - 25 degrees..

 

What kind of trickery they put inside the new one that's half the size and twice as warm?

I used the incinerator bibs last year and have no complaints other than they are a bit bulky but when you sit or stand 25 feet up it's no biggie... They definitely keep you warm.

 

My guess on part of this: the one review citing the “half the bulk, double the warmth” has it incorrect. My guess is it’s “double the warmth per volume, so half the bulk, which equals the same warmth.”

I could be wrong but that’s just a guess based on being a little skeptical of that claim, which comes from a Black Ovis review, rather than Sitka, as far as I can tell.

 

Yes, I love my fanatic and not questioning the warmth of the fanatic. I was curious if the new incinerator is really as warm being so much lighter. It doesn't appear many here have first hand knowledge either.

 

A bit early to be trying them. Brand new stuff and the time of the season is a bit early. I saw it in the new catalog. I got this week and was wondering about it also. I am sending my son to the new store in Bozeman today to check it out.

 

Got the set in today. It does feel less bulkier but everything else seems to be pretty much the same.

I've only read about it, never had a first hand experience

 

Looking forward to the reviews. Thinner, lighter, AND warmer?

 

Man I can't imagine needing anything warmer than the Fanatic system and I hunt in the COLD. I'm snug as a bug in a rug....

 

Yea, I am not looking for any warmer.. but if its "As warm" and that much lighter then I am sold.

I felt it at a local store and it is definitely not as bulky and looks like a quality product but I still can't believe it can be as warm as the fanatic as thin as it is.

 

What's insane is I can't find any of the previous model Incinerator bibs on sale. People still want full price or they're sold out! Oh well, guess I'll just get the fanatic bib eventually.

 

I ended up ordering the Bibs to give them a shot this year!

 

Awesome. Post up a review sometime!

 

If these are as warm as the OG style. And half the size it will be awesome. I have the jacket and bibs now and really like them due to size. Plus my og is waterproof so hopefully these are to.

 

The aerogel technology is pretty Impressive. Scent Lok is using it in their gear and I believe that elite or prime is using it in their grip. I found some aerogel boot liners and was impressed

Downside of aerogel is it physically deteriorates/crumbles as flexibility isn’t its deal.

I’ll sell my old stuff if anyone is interested, worn like twice .

 

Has anyone compared the new stuff to the fanatic or old incinerator line? Curious how the warmth actually compares as it seems to be close in bulk to the Stratus.
