I broke down and bought some Sitka gear and it is the best stuff I’ve ever worn. I think it’s the fanatic line and it has to be cold to be able to wear it.

Duofold heavy base layer, Sitka stratus pants, Sitka fanatic hoody and, sitka fanatic jacket. I am toasty. Worth every penny. My buddy was singing the Sitka praises last week in Arkansas. I checked on prices when I was at Mack’s. Ouch!!

I checked on prices when I was at Mack’s. Ouch!! No doubt, I asked my buddy and he said kuiu is the way to go. I thought, "you realize your telling this to the guy that wore trash bags under his camo because my dad wouldnt buy raingear when I was growing up." Kind if like the weekend fisherman that " needs" a $70k ranger so he can catxh a fish.

The most important thing for me is to walk in dressed lightly and then layer once I'm at my stand. The slightest sweat leads to freezing, especially the toes. I wear tennis shoes on the drive, walk in wearing boots and one pair of socks, then put on a second pair once I'm setup. You are correct, Sir.

Layers is the key. It doesn’t matter what brand. I wear a thin top and bottom base, then jogging pants on bottom, two cotton turtle necks, a little thicker shirt over them and a pullover over that. Then slip in some coveralls. I can sit through anything in Alabama. Most of my hunting clothes are 20+ years old. I never wash them unless I sweat in them and leave them hanging outside all season in the carport. Works for me.

Well y’all certainly gave me a lot of options to think about. My wife said Sitka is a no go that I can buy some more hot hands and toe warmers. She about had a meltdown when I bought an under armour base layer 3.0 a few years ago. She’s a penny pincher and I’m a little more frivolous when it comes to hunting.
Workin for the man, huntin when I can.

Hiking clothes go in a plastic bag Just curious, do you reverse this process on the way out of the woods? I do the same as Rocket62 with all my hunting clothes in a huge back pack. Wear tshirt and briar pants for the walk in. Change socks and put on base layers and outer wear at the stand. Reverse process on the way out
