Pnuma clothing is pretty good, sentlok is nice also . I've used both and is really durable. Its not cheap but will last.

 

I try to wear anything I can get a good deal on that is merino. Outer layers I’ve had quite a few tops that were from badlands that have worked out great and held up well through some nasty environments. Badlands does have a lifetime warranty on all there stuff as well. My newest jacket is from stone glacier though, stops the wind well on those frozen mornings.

 

Midway usa has pretty decent clothes also that want break the bank.

 

Kryptek is the best I’ve used in 37 seasons

 

Just picked up the Kryptec Dalibor jacket and it’s pretty nice. Super quiet and great as an outer layer. I dig the obskura transitional.

 

I really like Duck Camp's stuff (ignore the name, they do deer stuff too). Their midland camo pattern is perfect for the environments I hunt in at any time of year.

 

Awesome responses so far. I’ll definitely be looking into some of the other brands listed. I just seem to get the big 3-4 pushed to me in ADs a lot

 

If you are looking for warmth, comfortable, and quiet Sitka is going to be hard to beat.
Sitka was made with bow hunting as the focal point of their clothing imo.
All the pockets and everything just seems to be in the right place. Longevity is not a problem with Sitka either. All my Sitka gear will be going into its 4th or 5th season next year and besides a few blood stains it still looks and performs like new.
My favorite pieces are the lightweight hoody with the built in face mask. The fanatic jacket, the fanatic vest, and the stratus bibs.
All super quiet and very comfortable and compact when drawing my bow.

Everything I see and hear about Sitka seems to be positive except the price is a little steep for “first timers” like me

makes me wonder if I should try to get some second hand stuff

 

Hard to beat Mossy Oak. Good people and a great brand

 

I have a bunch of camo that was acquired over 46 seasons of bowhunting. Much is older clothing with ASAT or Cabela's Outfitter, but I also have some Kryptek that is really nice for early season that I got from the AT classifieds. Last year at this time, I was looking for a wind blocking set and learned that Scent-loc has a year end sale, so the top and bottom were priced as a set what just the jacket was a couple weeks previous. That was part of my '21 Christmas gift from my wife and worked out really well for early to mid-season. I should have a Nomad Harvester jacket showing up under the tree in a few weeks to try out for late season and next year. Huntsworth base layers have proven very worthwhile and others have their full outfits. Some speak highly of Nat Gear, Under Armor and Badlands as well.,,,,so you are not limited to the brands on hunting TV shows that cost $800+ for a jacket and bibs.

 

Nat gear is fair priced and quiet for early season

 

IMO predator camo have the best patterns but their garments are not the same quality as your kuiu, sitka, etc. They do make some great clothing though and i have about the whole catalog but they tend to run small.

 

I second this. I really like thei Fall Gray pattern, but it isn’t with the cadillac camos.

 

I love my Scentlok

 

Edit: I misread some of the original post.

I’ve really enjoyed First Lite and Kuiu wool garments. I’m a western hunter mostly, so I buy in layers. Outdoor Research makes some great clothing for reasonable prices as well.

That said, the big hunting brands all make some really nice clothing. Wool is great, so are some of the synthetics available now. There’s some great stuff out there from other “non-hunting” brands that work amazingly well.

 

Check out Code of Silence products, available through Scheels. Great stuff at about half the price of Sitka. I would highly recommend.

 

Predator, code of silence, and huntworth

 

Bought Pnuma just because they have longer lengths for tall guys. Good stuff and takes a beating from past 2 years👍🏼

 

$38- $55 on camofire
Insanely awesome pieces of gear at that price. Heated vest with 2 batteries on killer promo as well

 

I have had good luck with natural gear. Theres quite a few companies out there. Huntworth, Asio gear looks amazing, Non typical,Element camo,skre gear, Treezyn. Sure theres more out there sure they all have sales this time a year. Camofire has daily deals.

 

I like winter camo from asat blends great

 

You cant go wrong with Kuiu or Sitka, FL is fine but lower quality IMO. I also want to throw out Forloh and Gulch Gear, both companies offer made in America camo which I cannot say for the most of the other brands. Personally I think the Gulch camo design is awesome in the field, but might not look that great at first glance.

I got sticker shock as well looking at some of the stuff these companies offer, but you can usually find lightly used stuff in classified sections of various hunting forums or AT.

It was already mentioned but the quality you get from the high end camo companies cannot be understated. For example I recently was on hunt in deep south TX which involved alot of bushwhacking through mesquite brush and other various thorny plants and cactus.

After 5 days the Kuiu, Gluch and Forloh pieces looked almost brand new, with only a few pulls and one microscopic tear. Compared to the "main stream" camo brands which where full of pulls and small tears a rip or two.

Theres a ton of thicket and whatnot where I hike so the durability is definitely something I'm looking for. Also glad to hear I'm not the only one who got sticker shock

If you have a Scheels near you check out their line of clothes. I have two sets I bought last summer and so far after two seasons I've been happy with them.

I was going to order a full set of Grey Wolf Woolens but just couldn't get myself to spend almost a grand for an early and late season set.

None near me but can always order online and return/exchange what doesnt fit.

 

Kryptek has been my go to for the past few years. Picked up a bunch of brand new demo stuff from a local dealer for less than half of what I would of paid new. The Vellus fleece line is one of the best pieces of hunting clothing I’ve ever had with it being wind/waterproof.

 

Another vote for Sitka here. I’ve been using it for the last 6 years and it’s phenomenal gear. I have just about every piece they offer in the whitetail line up, a lot of the casual everyday wear and love every bit of it!! Hell, I’ve bought my wife and daughter a couple jackets and they love them. I’ve put my hunting gear through the wringer and it holds up and still looks great. Very good customer service as well. I’ll never use anything else but Sitka. A lot of my buddies always gave me crap for wearing it but once they tried it, they were hooked. Give it a shot, there’s no doubt you’ll love it too.

 

I like the Kuiu I have and yes, it was a bit pricey, but it is worth it as I look at it as an investment that will last a long time. If you are looking to get a start and don't want to spend the big bucks initially look at Under Armour. It is good and you often times can find some good used items on the classifieds here.

 

Scentlok is a good value. Very comfortable and well made. If you keep an eye on their website sales, you can get a good deal.

 

I just bought a set of scent lok this week, the Gila pattern, 50% off my 15 year old scent lok set was getting wore out. I bought the mid weight in a size larger then I wear so I can layer things under with out binding

 

Thanks for all the responses so far guys. Looks like I got plenty of new companies to dig into

Not sure what you are looking for camo pattern or companies that make hunting clothes?

lots of companies use Mossy Oak and Real Tree patterns on thier clothing

others make clothing with thier own patterns, Like Bass Pro or Cabelas, Huntworth KOA etc...

 

Don't overlook Badlands Camo, Great quality and features.
