SITKA Systems: Late Season | Big Game

[@buckruttin2246]

After trying both, my experience has been that the Sitka merino base layer is superior to their synthetic for moisture/odor management and excels in varied temperatures. It feels better against your skin vs. the core synthetic which is kind of abrasive and leads to chaffing.

I am really love these clothes. As you call them gear, that cannot be more true than that and I would not buy anything else ever!! They work exactly as they say they will!!!! Since I’m on Social Security, I have a few pieces and I could not be more ecstatic and extremely pleased with the performance of these and will buy more when I can. Thank you very much

This is the best video that I have come across, hands down! Thank you!

Switch the mountain jacket for the Jetstream. Switch the lightweight hoody for just the lightweight crew (too many hoodys), heavy weight hoody, Jetstream jacket (if you have rain gear this piece of gear is not needed to save weight), Kelvin hoody instead of Kelvin down hoodie (down gets wet and it's worthless). Would be great if there were tall sizes for the timberline pants (and if the timberline pants were some what wind proof). I have a 30 inch waist and 33.5" inseam which makes kuiu pants work for me.

[@gracedancurtis5160]

Sitka gear is the best. But not all the Sitka gear all the time. Save some dough and run your favorite underarmour base layers. Get the ear flap hat with bill for glare instead of the beanie. I’d also get the Columbia whirlibird gore shell w/ puffy for ~$150 over the jet stream and Sitka puffy for ~$500. Grundens weather watch rain gear would be my choice for rain pro. Heavier but more rugged and less expensive.

[@Dogsprop]

totally agree with the "too many hoodys" comment. I went with the mid weight and heavy weight zip t's to cut down on hoods. the only hood i want is on my outer layer. But that is my situation, kind of a good thing and a bad thing with Sitka, lot of options for each individual and style of hunting.

[@ram_bam]

Having a hoody for each layer allows each layer to be fully functional. So if it's not cold enough to wear any more than the core lightweight hoody, you still have a hood without needing to wear your outer layer.

[@jackvliet]

@@ram_bam if you only need the light weight hoody then you probly don't need a hood

[@ram_bam]

@@jackvliet I would say that’s totally subjective. There have been many times that it’s been cool and breezy enough of me to use the lightweight hood. Once it gets really cold I’m thankful for the extra layers each hood provides (fanatic hoody under stratus hoody).

[@stuartsteele9984]

Cargo pockets are stupid - stored item(s) reduce the pants circumference thus creating less space generating more pants surface contact thus expending energy. Additionally, weighty stored items are lifted by each leg with each step taken wasting more energy and if you feel the stored item you are reducing your concentration on what you want to concentrate on.

[@best4noles]

Available in Elevated II?

[@pahuntnut]

forget those nylon/polyester base layers. Its hold heat making you hot when you hot and cold as soon as you start to cool down. Also, there is a reason they have to put odor control chemicals into the fabric, if not it stinks really fast. Not what i want to happen when im hunting.

[@roxannesumalin264]

I love Sitka Gear.. 😍

Anybody have any input on cloudburst vs stormfront rain gear?

[@ThisIsAnfield8878]

I have the cloudburst jacket. Packs down like crazy. We got extremely wet snow that came down for two days. Helped with the cold wyo wind and weather at 11k feet and kept me dry. People say its noisy but we stalked and called in elk to about 50 yds no issue. Love it

[@3565891]

I'm going to start a sitka group for addicted hunters. Lol

[@greysonthompson9123]

Looking for a product tester?😆

[@LockedInOutdoors]

wish i could afford it lol

[@3565891]

Check out skre

[@michaelspence1854]

U guys gotta make socks

[@pahuntnut]

Sorry but nylon,polyester next to my skin makes me sweat more than normal and it does not “pull” moisture away from my skin. I have sitka base layers and merino. Try it for yourself dont believe the marketing hype. But as for the rest of the line, this stuff is great.

[@johnkovacs5972]

pahuntnut ??? Poly is proven to pull moisture. Merino holds moisture which is why it takes longer to dry out. There is several videos out there confirming this. This isn’t marketing hype it’s just standard for fabrics

[@pahuntnut]

@@johnkovacs5972 aThats fine John. But it does not seem to work for me. I noticed when i wore the base layers i sweated more and was hotter. So what i did was buy Merino and tried them both on the same hike from drop camp each day, on about the same weather conditions. No poly for me. Merino keeps me comfortable and i dont overheat like in poly and produce more sweat which causes odor. Also does not need a chemical addition to prevent stink. Im not bashing Sitka as i own a lot of it. Just my own experiments tell my i would sweat less and felt more comfortable without poly/nylon base layers

[@scottgreen6538]

How much does this kit cost?

[@804_grandstaff]

I can here a year later to tell you a shit-ton

[@DustinBaileyOutdoors]

Probably over $2000. Most people will tell you kuiu and sitka are the same price but if you look for your self kuiu is cheaper (and still quality gear.) Kuiu also offers better cold weather gear in my opinion, such as fleece lined windproof pants and a full length down pant

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Someday

[@3565891]

Check skre. Just as good and half the price

[@anthonyvisconte7977]

You cant have waterproof and breathable. Sorry Sitka

[@stephenkulawinski4200]

Timberline pant was very disappointing not very windproof didn't shed water near as well as I was hoping. When you're in the snow and it's cold don't fuck around get the downpour pants if you think you're going to get too hot in them there is zips up on the hips to dump Heat. Who needs a waterproof ass and knees when when the downpour pants are all waterproof

[@sneakybow1]

The downpour pants wet out and stay wet with that brushed face. You're literally comparing non rain paints to rain pants. Wtf did you expect from the Timberlines?

[@DB.KOOPER]

They're a pair of "PANTS" plural... There's no such thing as "A pant".

[@DustinBaileyOutdoors]

I guess now we can call shorts "short"

[@troyhogarth8793]

You are incorrect. The term “pant” has been in use in the garment/clothing trade for over 100 years with it becomes more in vogue during the mid to late 20th century. The word appears in both American and British dictionaries.
