    So before my gear arrives I wanted to get the opinions of those who made the switch to Sitka and ask the group is "the gear all that it's hyped up to be" really hoping it is & that it lasts.

    Yes, I just sold a pair of Timberline pants I'd hunted with for 5 years and they still looked new.

    I call them heirloom clothing because you'll be able to hand it down to your kids.

    Ps their coming out with a lot of new stuff in January.

    Guess I should have posted this before I pulled the trigger on the order. But oh well, looking forward to the amount of thought that goes into the gear.

    It's definitely worth the money. Best gear you will buy.

    What makes it so good exactly? It's polyester and Nylon essentially, no? Wouldn't money be better spent on quality wool?

    As every hunter / fisherman says, "My biggest fear is that after I die, my wife will sell all my stuff for what I told her it costs..."

    Been using Sitka Gear for over five years now, and I will never buy another brand again. I'm still using the first pieces I bought to this day.

    I bought a Stratus vest and jacket last year. I liked it so well I sold all my Under Armour gear this year and bought Stratus pants, Equinox pants, Fanatic gloves, Sitka beanies (EV2 and Orange) & Core shirt. I plan to buy some late season gear next year.

    You guys are really supporting my cause & decision. Glad I have another month of expanded Archery hunting in Maine to put the stuff to the test.

    The quality is fantastic and you can tell right away it's designed by hunters.

    Kuiu has some good stuff as well that I own.

    Ive heard soo many good things about Sitka gear, unfortunately have not yet tried it myself! A little too pricey for me at the moment, though its on the list for next season! So you all truly believe its worth the extra money??

    It's worth the price to me to be comfortable, quiet, warm, and functional.

    If it is going to cause martial crisis to buy is it really a question if you can afford it?

    There was a small tone of sarcasm in my post, but I really value the feedback it's provided.

    I bought some this year to try, hasn't been cold enough. But I sell stuff you buy stuff, so my hunting budget basically doesn't come from our checking acct.

    I just returned all my Under Armour Ridge Reaper forest gear and base layers and bought all Sitka gear from MidwayUSA., They are running a deal with a $100 and $250 gift card with Stika purchase plus free shipping.
