The more I read about these high end clothing lines, the more I get interested. Have yet to read a bad review. Never thought I would consider that kind of investment in hunting clothing. What peaks my interest the most is being able to keep warm with less bulk. I have yet to find a place that carries the Sitka gear in stock where I can put my hands on it. My concern is durability. Will it stand up to the briar thickets and Devils walking sticks found around the swamps of the southeast?

I have used the equinox so far and it is great for warm/hot weather. Keeps you cool and is great at wicking andndries quickly. I haven't gotten to hunt much this year so haven't broken out the stratus but that will be a good set down to 40 or so I would guess, probably down to 30 with the right next-to-skin layers and fanatic hoodie. I have the fanatic jacket and bibs but that is unlikely to get used much outside of my Midwest trips.

I have the delta wading jacket for ducks and it is awesome. No complaints with any sitka gear I have ever used. Buy once, cry once but you have clothing that works as it should and will last forever.

I've given my Sitka a run for the money, it's not nearly as cosmetically appealing as when I first bought it but every bit of function is still perfect. These cold snaps we've had starting the mornings in the high 20s and I've been so warm and comfortable sitting 20 ft up

Works great in the South. You have many options for all Temp ranges which is nice especially with how I temps go up and down so much. If you have any questions about it please let me know and ill be glad to help you . Plus I can give you a good price on it.

Woods & Water in Tuscaloosa did carry Sitka I'm not sure if they still do. I also like the high end clothing because grandpa's flannel just don't cut it for me, hunting in the southeast can be wet and cold, get the best you can.
