Curious if the quality is similar to the Mtn Ops or First Lite Kiln. I don't own any Black Ovis clothing.

They're 250g and 100% merino, same weight as the Kiln. I have the Kiln set and like it a lot. I was looking at getting a second set so I'm not doing laundry as much when I'm camped out. The Black Ovis hoodie is $50 cheaper than the FL Kiln.

I just bought some off of camofire a couple of weeks ago
BLACKOVIS GRANITE PEAK PANT
Juniper, 36x32 1 $77.99
BLACKOVIS VENTURE MERINO BOXER BRIEF - TALL
Kodiak, L 1 $31.99
BLACKOVIS TUSCARORA MERINO 3/4 BOTTOM
Kodiak, L 1 $35.99
BLACKOVIS KEELE HEAVYWEIGHT+ MERINO 1/4 ZIP HOODIE
Burnt Olive, XL 1 $71.99
Obviously haven’t worn them in the cold yet lol but tried them and they all fit good and seemed to be stitched well. The hoody is supposed to be somewhat between the kiln and the furnace and I have both and it feels about right. It also has a terry cloth weave that’s supposed to help with the warmth.
For the price it’s definitely seems like a solid deal.
The 3/4 long drawers seem like between a wick and kiln level and they fit tru and the only negative is they are not leg zipper like my FL kilns are.

I have several of the lightweight hoodies bought on sale from camofire. They’ve held up fine for several years now and would buy again. IMO They are not as soft as the FL wicks though, I also think they shrink up a bit more than FL.
