Anybody got a source for XP besides through hiker?

Thanks AC. That's good info. I think I've decided to go with 5oz XP 50 x 60.

Now I just need to decide whether to make a summer weight one while I'm ordering material.

On a separate note do I understand that you are asserting a 1.2" layer of CS XP would keep me as warm as a 2" layer of regular given that they are roughly...

ThruHiker has Climashield XP 60" wide listed as 6oz and 1.2" loft.

OWF has Climashield (no qualifier) 60" wide listed as...
