Best hunting apparel out there?

I bought a bunch of Badlands when it was 50% off. Not sure if it’s better than some of the top brands but it works well for me and the price was good.

Not sure I would pay full price for any of that stuff.

Best? I dunno but I have a good bit of cabelas That have held up well over the years .

I wish first lite and all the those type would make better patterns that are in line with mossy oak . I just can’t seem to make myself buy any of that and think I’m hiding from a gobbler, it just doesn’t represent the landscape I hunt

I like Sitka. I’m not under the illusion that wearing a Sitka baselayer in 30° weather will keep me warm though. I have a lot of their stuff that I layer properly depending on weather conditions. I hunt mostly Louisiana but make a trip to Missouri and Oklahoma most years. It’s kept me warm down into the teens duck hunting Oklahoma but I also have light weight stuff for bow hunting October.
I have friends in Minnesota and Wisconsin that hate on Sitka, but love kuiu and they have more experience in the frigid cold than I do. Just depends on what you’re looking for specifically I guess.

This. I am just as warm and cozy as the guys who want to look spiffy, and I have ample success in my hunting endeavors.

To each his own.

I’ve got a bunch of Sitka, Kuiu and Under Armour. Sitka’s my favorite.

Kuiu is gonna be at the Sportsman's show in Gonzales this weekend if you have any interest in some higher end gear. This is the first I've heard them coming around here

I have KUIU, Sitka, and First Lite. I prefer Sitka.

Responses will be funny. Pay for the base layer.. first lite is all i can speak for love it. Outer, really dont matter. I have used it all. I wear and order 90% of my stuff now from mossy oak store online. Not near as expensive, comfortable, bunch of diff weights and camo

All you are missing is a cool high dollar pair of reflective lens sunglasses Hollywood

Anyone worn First Lite?

I have several pieces of first lite ( base layers of various weights, pants , pullover fleece) and I really like them and will buy more pieces.
I am not a camo snob and wear carhartt pants most of the time in conjunction with some cabelas wooltimate pants and parka.
First lite base layer are well thought out and worth the money 3/4 zip you can zip to you belly button to dump heat and full leg zippers so I can pull bottoms off when it warms up at 10am and thumb loops are game changers.
17deg temps and everyone else is bundled up like the Michelin man or running heaters and I’m not bundled up or wearing just a base layer and light fleece at 30 and being able to draw a bow is where they are worth the money.
I have been wearing mine for two years now and prolly average 30-60 hunts a year and they are all in great condition I would imagine I’ll get 5-10 yrs use out of them.
