Sitka Gear

Since I'm poor, I only own the face mask and the gloves. They're awesome. Fingers did get a little cold this week when I took my hands out of my pockets but it was manageable.

It's good stuff, but if you use it, you're required to add #sitkagear to every picture you post

I also hunt North Louisiana and sprung for the stratus pants and jacket. Pair that with merino wool base layers. I am very happy with it. The stratus has windstopper and is very warm and versatile without being bulky.

I bought it mainly for my Iowa trip back in December but ended up using it anytime it was lower than 50 or so here.

Very well made and I think it was worth it.

I hunt with the stratus system (jacket, pants, beanie, gloves) and it is outstanding gear. I am able to layer under it and stay very warm. You could wear a regular hunting shirt and jeans under it and be fine down to about freezing temps. Any lower and I would recommend the fanatic line, since it is technically the flagship tree stand hunting setup from Sitka and it will keep you warmer.

I took the Status to North Dakota this year and wore it in temps from 40s to 4 degrees with a 25 mph wind. I did layer with fleece and a puffy jacket underneath for the bitter cold, and it damn sure worked. The stratus line has Windstopper which is 90% of staying warm in western style on-the-move hunting.

I think the fanatic line might be too warm for anything other than tree stand hunting, especially if you are hiking in any distance or carrying a climber on your back. If you were in Kansas or Illinois then I would say Fanatic hands down because it is warmer and you are much more likely to see snow/wind. If the majority of your hunting is Louisiana with an occasional trip out of state then go with the Stratus and throw some fleece layers underneath. It is athletically cut, so just bear that in mind and order up a size if you plan on layering much.

People will give you crap for wearing it, but you won't go back to other hunting clothes after trying it. It is quality gear and I would not have been able to hunt in nodak this year without it, at least for several of the days.

Worth every penny IMO

Sitka gets a lot of hate on here for some reason but it really is great stuff. If you are patient you can find some good sales on it.
I have a pair of the moss colored timberline pants that are super comfortable. After hunting season I like to take wildlife pictures and these pants have reinforced knees and seat that also have a goretex lining in these areas. It even has removable knee pads that work great for sneaking up on duck holes and taking pictures.

i got it. i love it. it's overpriced but it's good shite

ITS ugly as sin and over priced and it screams I only hunt opening weekend and make sure to post all my pics on fb.

Yes I can afford it too.

I love their stuff. The delta wading jacket may be the best piece of hunting attire i own.

Great stuff. Son got a discount through work at one time.
