I tried both version. Brynje is too hot and in cold weather the mesh soaks full with moisture that feel very uncomfortably. The Finetrack is better, but a normal thin polyester mrathon top with free shoulders is better in warm weather. At my opinion brynje not worth the money.
Brynje is great for really cold weather where you can let them dry in the freezing cold, where it literally freezes, and then you just break the ice off the shirt. In warmer weather, the Finetrack looks good with the holes, but I’d never buy polyester on a thru hike. Too much stink. I go with alpaca short sleeve shirts as base layer. I almost ‘disliked’ the video - not enough Willow! She must be pissed at how you’re dissing her on her own channel. It’s called WILLOW WALKS, not middle aged dude walks.
@@WillowWalksTheAT any cold-weather update on Byrnje v. Finetrack for you? Also, about how many miles per day could you hike (with backpack) on the AT with your Lunas? About how many miles per day do you think you could walk with a ‘normal’ medium cushion trail runner? I’m a minimalist shoe and Luna wearer, and just wondering how much I’m giving up on stamina.
@RC-qf3mp Haven't had the Finetrack out in the cold yet but I suspect the Brynje will be a bit warmer. For the Lunas, we've done 20-30 mile days with no issue along side hikers wearing Altras. If you're used to Lunas, stamina wise I think they'll be no different...and they'll feel better and last longer...just my perspective
@ great job. I’ve been wearing exclusively minimalist shoes for about two years, and on a multi week AT section hike, I could do no more than 12 mile days. 8-10 mile days were the norm. Feet were the limiting factor. How long did it take you to build up foot stamina? What was your starting level mileage per day before going minimalist shoes? I know minimalist shoes are better for my overall foot health and comfort, but I’m wondering if I’ve plateaued or need to just put in more or extra work. I’m 50, not overweight and have an ultralight pack set up. Always had foot pain growing up when walking long distances, and feet feel better with minimalist shoes. Frustrated I can’t do bigger mileage though.
code still works as of today. Just got the top and bottom for ski season.
@@TheAir305 Great to hear! Happy skiing
Was looking everywhere for a discount code for Brynje, thank you!
@mrsquirrel5308 glad it worked out!
NICE very helpful!!
Brynje comes in Polypropylene also
Nice video of comparison and good work by the "media" team of moving shots
Thanks! My media team is often unreliable and stubborn...but sometimes we get lucky! Take care
I question materials that depend on treatments that may wear or wash out over time.
Something about a 1.8 oz shirt I like… I might try this although I’m normally a skinny wool guy in the summer
Quadzilla did a better job explaining it: ruclips.net/video/5wtMKRITMCU/видео.htmlsi=GQGEJrSyi6lV_dL9

Just wait until tomorrow...Willow is the main character again
