Build a top of the line hunting kit for $1,000 (or less!)

Can you build it for around $1,000? Yes you can!
Some of us are wondering what to spend our stimulus money on. We're here to show you that you can build a solid technical hunting apparel foundation for around $1,000. In this video, Kendall and Brad walk us through several different example kits to show you how to get the most out of your money!
These hunting apparel systems consist of a base-layer top, midweight top, jacket, pant, boots and socks.

Thanks guys that was some great advice for one getting into "stimulating the economy" and also needing camo

[@BlackOvis]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@secondchance6603]

What a great pattern!

[@BlackOvis]

Subalpine absolutely kills it!

[@1arrowshort]

I have a few of your blackovis merino pieces, 250 1/4 zip hoodie, 150 bottoms and 200 gloves. For the price it can't be beat in my opinion. Eyeing the keele and 150 long sleeve for my next purchase, great stuff👍

[@BlackOvis]

We agree! the Keele and 150 long sleeve will be a great addition.

[@jayonez137]

Best socks hands down is Smartwool merino Hunter sock. Been wearing Merino wool smartwool socks since 2004

[@BlackOvis]

Smartwool makes great products! Thanks for sharing!

[@michaeltubbs2493]

Great Pants!

[@BlackOvis]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@dean3471]

Great Information. What gear you buy kind of depends on if you archery hunt or rifle hunt.

[@BlackOvis]

Yeah for sure! What would be in your $1000 kit?

[@taylorhall2157]

Have built my gear w blackovis products, have atleast one piece of all the merino the cotton wood pants blackovis addition crispi summits! And may be too much info but I exclusively wear the blackovis merino underwear daily! Waiting for normal sizes to get back on camofire!

[@BlackOvis]

Great kit! Thanks for sharing!

[@drested1793]

Man, when Sitka first hit the market they had a pair of pants and a jacket that were about $250 a piece! I thought, there’s no f’n way I’d ever pay that. Ever. Now I’ve got a closet full of this stuff. As far as stimulus goes, everybody should buy a gun. The Black Ovis pants are very comfortable.

[@powstash]

I felt the same way when first looking at Sitka "Who would pay $150 for a flippin' pair of pants!" You and me both brother. haha

[@BlackOvis]

buy once, cry once! Thanks for your input.

[@colbykinney5633]

This helps a bunch. I live in eastern Ohio which is a brier thicket from hell. I think I'm sold on the mountain pants.

[@BlackOvis]

We are stoked this video has helped you out. Let us know if you need help with anything else!

[@jamesmarshall7099]

Mountain pants are great but expect some threads to pull when going through briers. Any pant would as you already know I'm sure.

[@jayonez137]

$1000 gear kit ain’t easy. I must have spent $10,000 in boots and clothes over last 20 years from Scent-Lok and Cabelas. About 5 years ago I spent about $3500 on Sitka gear And have not bought another stitch of clothing since. I have just about everything from the Whitetail line in Elevated 2. I am about to invest in some gear in the Sitka forest for early season and hunting on the ground.

[@BlackOvis]

Right on! Thanks for watching!

[@tylerbrengle9652]

"I'm not much of a hoody guy"... said while wearing a hoody lol 9:32

[@BlackOvis]

Haha good catch

[@GoProRuss]

ive had my eye on the jetstream jacket to start my sitka collection. One question I have though,... Its listed as a performance fit, but can you layer underneath it to stretch it into colder weather? I live in the midwest and the early winter season can get pretty cold. Additionally if you were to layer do you recommend getting a size up?

[@BlackOvis]

You can definitely layer with the sitka jetstream. We would not recommend sizing up to achieve this though. you should be able to wear a heavyweight performance hoody or a puffy jacket underneath and still be fine.

[@FreshPwncakez]

Personally I would size up on almost every Sitka top. I wear a medium in most shirts but all my Sitka tops I have needed at least a large, sometimes a large tall or XL depending on the piece.

[@GoProRuss]

@@BlackOvis Awesome I appreciate the feedback!

[@yakmanzz1]

How long is the promotion going for the free socks. I just ordered and received the Nevada from BlackOvis and didn't get free socks?? What the ?? (heck).

[@BlackOvis]

Hey sorry about that! When you order you have to add the socks to your cart. If you want to give us a call, we can figure something out! 801-559-7556

[@inalaska1709]

Any picks on rain gear? Fall hunting in Alaska is normally wet.

[@BlackOvis]

We love the Sitka Dew Point! www.blackovis.com/nsearch/?q=sitka+dew+point

[@garyo4456]

Helly Hansen Impertec jacket and bib pants.

[@thanielsommers4500]

How does the kelvin active jacket compare to the aerolite jacket?

[@thanielsommers4500]

Kelvin aerolite jacket that is

[@BlackOvis]

They discontinued the active, but replaced it with the Ambient. The Aerolite is more of a static insulation, and the Ambient is an active insulation so they were designed to work together. Check out our new video on Sitka layering. John explains it very well. 👇 studio.kzbin.infoFu-naRjh95g/edit

[@shawnstephs1720]

Thanks for the update on the Sitka gear unfortunately I will not be buying it because I'm not going to spend $1,000 on something that is going to wear out after one season

[@BlackOvis]

You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to Sitka!

[@garyo4456]

Sitka gear lasts for years of tough hunting abuse! (Firstlite-not!)

[@BStables1]

How does the jetstream compare to the mountain jacket? I’m leaning towards the jetstream, even though I keep hearing it runs warmer. Right now I like the core light crew LS and flash pullover but being in Oregon I need something waterproof. Great video guys!

[@BlackOvis]

If you're wanted to stay dry then I would go with the Jetstream because it has a hood and the Mountain Jacket does not. The Jetstream also has pit zips which is super nice for venting.

[@garyo4456]

Get a MEST poncho for heavy rain…the Jetstream is the better jacket by far! Together you’re covered!

[@gregdaves7271]

You lost me when you put the Colorados, Jetstream and Kelvin...the three of those together are over $1000.

[@BlackOvis]

On their bundles they either have the Jetstream or the Kelvin. But you are right, all 3 would be over a $1,000.

[@johnhusenitaii7001]

I bought 2 pairs of crispis from you and got no free socks

[@BlackOvis]

Hey we are sorry to hear that. You have to add them to the cart. Give us a call and we will get you taken care of!

[@mikefromoh2925]

Lot of $ to get no gloves, rain gear, hats! Seriously I can understand the expense for the boots and really all of it but If someone’s just starting out would rather spend that $1000 and get them everything they’d need.

[@BlackOvis]

Thanks for your input!
