If I Had $1000 To Spend on SITKA Gear, This is What I'd Buy.

Personally, I think the Thunderhead Pant/Jacket is the absolute must have setup. It’s fully waterproof rain gear with a brushed outer layer that keeps it quiet.Roughly $700.
I just wore some Timberline pants on a hunt, it started raining and we got completely soaked to the skin.
Anything beneath it can be budget, but for a single most important outer layer, has to be Thunderhead.

If I had $1000 to spend on Sitka, I would get like 1 sock

Does the ambient perform better than the kelvin active?

Love Sitka don’t own any but this video would help me pick the right gear for sure 👍

Good video!

If youre a veteran you can get a 40% discount. Still wouldnt buy sitka tho lol

How does this guy not have 1 million subscribers? Lol

Do one with Kuiu please

Loved this video! Not much of a Sitka guy, but really well done. I wish someone would do this for first lite!

Dont forget the base layer so many people just talk about what pant or Jacket you should get but they all miss the base layer if you start there wrong nothing will make it up to it

Great video! Love the information on each layer.

Sitka is way over rated and where did they come up with that ugly camo pattern.

It all boils down to what type of hunting you do, either geared towards elk out west or deer in the northeast. Are you a spot and stock or a treestand hunter. 2 very different styles of hunting and totally different means of sitka gear. What you are wearing, i wouldn't wear that for the stand.

Ambient jacket is heavier, warmer, and more expensive than the hoody. You said the hoody was🍻

Poncho review!!

Core Lightweight, Ambient hoody and dew point jacket give you a heck of a lot of options. I wore that in pouring rain, 20mph wind and 30 degree temps while hiking the AT last weekend. I use different pants based on temps, but if 40/50s I'll wear the mountain pant. If not much rain/snow, the jetstream is hard to beat as an outer. When temps get to 20/30s I'll move to Stratus bibs and jacket.

Heavyweight hoodie is legit

Spend a grand on quality wool. You can actually sit next to a campfire and not melt. Then pass it on to your children save them $1000

All the poors in here thinking their cheap shit is the same 😂

If I have a spare thousand im going to reduce my mortgage and get a step nearer retirement. If I need clothes for hunting I'll get them from army surplus. It will cost ten times less and I'll still be warm and dry.

King XKG line gonna give Sitka and others a run for the money! Tremendous value and great line.

I have an opportunity to get get a Kelvin Lite Hoody from a local company, as they run stock down of the older model. How does it stack up to the new Aerolite?

I can get the same result with $60 at an op shop. And it'll all be made in Western countries.

Excellent snd informative.

Great video. Personally I find the mountain pant to be useless. Things need to be environment specific. For early season the equinox pants with leg zips are 100% better and can be worn with zip off thermals on cold mornings. For late season the timberline pants are unequaled.
