    Shacket, Fanatic Beanie and glove, Midweight Mock, Equinox pant, balaclava "lightweight", jetstream vest in black, And I had to Back order the Incinerator top and bottom cuz they are out FOREVER!!!..... I have a problem with spending $

    How do you like the feel of that berber fleece type material on your fanatic this years is way fluffier... guys at work were questioning it. I think its going to be warm and deadly silent

    Still debating whether I want to upgrade or not. I like my set, but never really loved the Forest pattern.

    I'll most likely go Stratus Pants/Jacket/Vest, and Fanatic Pants/Jacket. Most likely keep my Core Zip T in Forest.

    I have the Fanatic Jacket and Stratus pant from last year. I had a horrible piling problem with the fleece and contacted Sitka about it. They are replacing it under warranty with the new stuff free of charge. So, I'm waiting to receive it in the mail.

    Love the fanatic jacket as its the best design I've ever seen in terms of a bowhunting jacket. However, the fleece pilled really bad and because noisy when contacting the bark on a tree. It was even slightly loud when moving. I was extremely impressed with their responsiveness and willing to take care of me. If the stuff shows up as promised, I'll be a Sitka fan for life. Great CS.

    Had to buy gear for a trip out West so the new pattern will have to wait. I really don't like the Forest pattern but it worked great last year. I might grab a few small pieces like the Fanatic beanie, etc.

    I'm debating between Kuiu Sitka and First Lite for which set of raingear to pull the trigger on but can't settle on one. Insane to think I'm about to sink $500+ in two pieces of clothing.
