looking for new camo and liking Sitka gear over under armor. is it worth it? I'm sick of freezing my but off with clothing that's not all it crack up to be. so let's hear the good -n- bad about Sitka.
Check out the new whitetail line they released at the ATA show. It looks sweet! I can't afford it but I have a buddy that can and he says its amazing and swears by it. I use under armour because I got a really good deal on it when I worked at ****s Sporting Goods.
I too switched two years ago and love the stuff... other than the price. If you're a Whitetail/Treestand guy like myself, get the Fanatic Jacket. Its bar none the best designed and well thought out jacket I've ever worn. They released an updated version of some of their Whitetail pieces this year and I may have to take a look at the new Fanatic. The only gripe I had was that the fleece material on the original pilled very easily and had a very slight noise to it. Nothing to spook a deer, but for the price, I think it should be dead silent. Oh and don't forget a warm hat. I bought the Incinerator hat they have and the thing is flat out awesome.
Wait till Nomad is released in July..... then buy... and then you can thank me. Quality and features rivaling the likes of Sitka and First Lite (and I adore First Lite) with an UA price point. It will be a no brainer for me... and that new Kryptek camo is sweet
This was my first year using Sitka and I loved it. I'd recommend buying the outer layers first then pick up insulating layers as you need them. I'm in love with the new stuff too.
Sitka is the ****z Made by hunters and built to last. I've got stuff 5 years old that still looks new. It's always my first choice when grabbing cloths to hunt. Kilboars Hunt Club
You really can't go wrong with their products, they flat out perform. The only downside is the cost however I think that is negated a bit because the value added in quality, performance, and durability. Add potential resale to the mix and you will see you may spend less on other but hard pressed to find as much value.
Yes. I hunted when it was in the high 20s with at least a 10 mph wind. Felt like it was 40-50 in my fanatic suit. Never felt so comfortable.
I've been using it for the past two seasons and it's bar-none the most comfortable I've been hunting. It's not my favorite pattern, but the layering, lack of bulk, and versatility is excellent. Of course they had to go and release a new line already to tempt me again just when I was about to pull the trigger on the older Fanatic line jacket.
Usually wind proof comes with noisy inner fabrics. What if any noise do you get from the line when moving arms such as drawing a bow?
I did not realize how spendy Sitka really is... Close to $800 for just the Fanatic jacket and bib. Safe to say that is well out of my price range. Wish I could get some!
Where do you find used garments? I'm assuming AT but I've never been on the site... Guess I could check ebay as well. Haven't done much research as I'm at work.

OK if used is the way to go why do you think they are re-selling it? My thought is momma found the credit card receipt!!
