3 Pieces of Sitka Camo I Regret Not Buying Sooner

[@theoutdoorempire]

What's your favorite Sitka gear?

[@BarDownBoys]

Kelvin Down WS hoody, heavyweight hoody, stormfront pants

[@theoutdoorempire]

@@BarDownBoys Sounds like great cold weather gear!

[@shaunlehman9158]

My Sitka cloud burst rain jacket is 100000% the best rain shell I’ve ever owned. Gore-Tex can’t be beaten

[@Beardandgun]

Big Fan of the ambient Hoodie

[@vst129]

The whole fanatic kit especially the hoodies but mainly the bib

[@stevew3718]

The jetstream jacket is definitely not warm, it is definitely not water proof, but it is wind proof and water resistant, and i layer under the jetstream with the ambient jacket and a merino base layer and so far it has been golden. The jetstream is my go to jacket for an everyday coat. I like it.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Well said.

[@BlackPointOutdoors]

The quality of these videos are insane!

[@theoutdoorempire]

Wow thank you! It's a work in progress for sure

[@chuckwilds1020]

I bought my first pair of mountain pants in camo and they had the double zipper. A couple years later I bought another pair in the dirt color and it just had a regular zipper. I like the double zipper for when I'm wearing a pack because it's much easier to access. I don't have to undo the pack waistbelt

[@theoutdoorempire]

Agreed on the double zipper/pack benefit. Weird about the different colors not having it. Thanks for sharing.

[@sinepari9160]

The right tool for the job.. Infinium isn't rain gear; it's max warmth/breathability, so those negative reviews are moot. Break out the raingear/goretex pro when it rains.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Good advice.

[@Danyang1]

My biggest gripe with Sitka is their belt loops. I don’t understand how they have it so tiny. They need to have it bigger to accommodate all belts, not just the size of their belt. I don’t think anybody even uses their Sitka belt

[@theoutdoorempire]

That's a very good point. No one wears or makes skinny little belts anymore.

[@hotfarts6731]

The core long sleeve is my next to skin piece that i wear for early seaon mule deer/elk or late rifle season. From there, I layer accordingly. The mountain pant and jetstream jacket are awesome pieces too. The jetstream is perfect for stopping howling wind from penetrating into your body as you stand on a ridgeline. Great video, man. Keep it up!

[@theoutdoorempire]

Thanks a lot and thanks for watching!

[@peternelson9865]

The jet stream jacket has the Gore wind proof membrane not the waterproof membrane

[@theoutdoorempire]

Good point! Yeah it's the GORE Windstopper membrane and just has a DWR coating for water repellency. Definitely not a fully waterproof jacket.

[@bryanmoore8374]

the only thing I would add about Base Layers, is that "Costco cheap" base layers are fine if they are designed to move moisture away from your skin - that is the key. Base Layers are the vital first link in the clothing system, to push moisture away from your skin and out to the outer layers. As long as you aren't wearing any cotton, and they perform like the typical "dry fit" materials, they will work fine.

[@bryanmoore8374]

I also love the Core LW Base, and the Jetstream.... great products!! Windstopper is a must in either the mountains, or the tree stand!

[@theoutdoorempire]

Very good points. My Costco base layers are indeed synthetic. And I also picked up some merino base layers to try out this year.

[@aidan8335]

I was walking through about knee high water today wearing the mountain pant and I stayed 100 % dry

[@theoutdoorempire]

Nice!

[@twistnshout3031]

What about the burrs? I just ordered a ton of sitka gear but I am a little worries about the hitch hikers and burrs sticking to the clothes since I do a lot of still hunting and go through alot of the thick stuff.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Good question. Not totally immune from burrs, but mostly. Much better than probably any other pants I've worn other than full polyester or nylon hiking pants.

[@ScottWalden-tt1er]

Someone teach this man how to use a belt.

[@theoutdoorempire]

My mom has tried for 40 years. I think I'm beyond saving.

[@mr.robertson5387]

You shouldnt skimp on the base layer. Its like a building and the foundation is made out of sand rather than brick

[@theoutdoorempire]

I like your analogy. My ignorance still keeps me content but I'm eyeing some merino for this year.

[@mr.robertson5387]

@theoutdoorempire 🙌❤️ you won't regret it my friend.

[@Batuhan1988]

Lol I don’t think I will be able to use that second zipper. Doesn’t seem convenient

[@theoutdoorempire]

Oh I beg to differ. 😂

[@ellerybice3787]

Lose that poisonous sugar in your diet, and that excess weight(fat) that you have mentioned several times will no longer be hanging off your carcass. Sugar's dangers are well covered in Dr. Berg's youtube videos.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Ok thanks
