I realize the quality, man those prices. I buy secondhand on Facebook or one of their big sales 2-3x per year.

When I say silkies it’s really just those dry for long underwear. Very thin and light weight I wear the wick as my upper body base layer regardless of weather due to moisture wicking capabilities. If it’s real cold I’ll stack a heavier merino wool on top of it as well and go from there. I wear black ovis merino wool long Johns as my lower body base layer if needed.

I’ve had First Lite baselayers. I like Minus33 baselayers better, though. I’ve got some Sitka pieces. The Fanatic jacket would be way better without that goofy front zipper and some other “technical” features.
83% of all statistics are made up.

I’ve been running first lite base layers (and outer layers for early season) with a Sitka stratus bib and jacket set. I went with the Sitka outers because at the time first lite didn’t make their outerwear with a wind proof membrane but I think their new stuff has it now. Went yesterday when the high was 27° and hung out in my saddle from 1:00 till dark with the wind whipping and I never got uncomfortable. What I had layered was FL Furnace bottoms and top with a FL wick long sleeve under that, FL 308 fleece lined pants, FL source vest, FL tundra neck gaiter, FL beanie, and my Sitka Stratus set. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/z0bIewk.jpeg)

You always take selfies when you hunt? Sometimes. I’m blessed with a good looking wife who, for some reason, likes for me send pics of my ugly mug to her

I wear KUIU, I hunt the mountains so I need something light weight that I can hike in with. I run the proximity line and it’s absolutely fantastic, I hunted this past weekend and never got cold, wore a base layer and the proximity pants, base layer and super fleece hoodie and my jacket and stayed warm all weekend. I’ve been very impressed with it and for how I hunt (hiking in, sitting long hours) it works.
Their attack pants are the best bow hunting pants ive ever worn.
We are not perfect, only forgiven!!!

I use the Sitka 40% off code every year and buy a couple pieces a year. Next year I’m gonna buy the Finatic jacket and bibs. Everything else I have is awesome. Where can one get this code?
I Well, the way I see it is there's just too many assholes On a good day there's a bunch of assholes in here. On a bad day there's too many assholes in here.

I wore my Carhartt Insulated Bibs and Jacket when it snowed and got so hot I had to unzip.... degrees in the 20's...... I had on merino wool base layer, Fleece Drake Waterfowl Underwear, wool LL Bean pants and shirt.
I was burning up.
For Reference.
1200 Gram Rubber Boots with a single Smartwool sock.
I don't do aerobics when I hunt FYI I try to sit still in a tree for a long time the key is not moving around a whole lot. That's why I don't need expensive hiking clothes.
Personally I think the gray Sitka Camo is aweful I hunt with other people and they wear that stuff and you can see them 1/2 a mile coming through some pine woods they need to darken it up some it is too light colored even in a tree it stands out like Neon sign. I am not a huge believer in Camo but I don't wear light colored clothes that's just common sense I thought.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
