Is Sitka gear really worth the hype for the coin? I'm fortunate enough to get a hefty discount from them due to my employer so jackets and pants are basically $100+ off. Former coworker swears by it. Told me it'll be the last camo I ever buy. But I want more input, most people I know that hunt don't have Sitka gear (guessing due to the price tag). I started going through my sets of camo I have and want to go with one line, rather than the multiple brands/patterns I currently have.

Sitka and Kuiu are good stuff. I own a lot of the whitetail and big game Sitka line and kuius big game line. It’s gear that keeps you alive when the conditions are tough. It’s gear that you can put on and forget about. Tough material, quick drying, great mobility, and there is a piece for dang near every situation. Kuiu seems to be a little better made, Sitka has better sizing and more options. Favorite items in Sitka: timberline pant, dew point rain gear, Kelvin WS down jacket. Kuiu: axis pant, kenia jacket, superdown pro jacket.

Kuiu has been great for me. The tiburon pants are awesome early season pants. The insulation layers like the Kenai Is plenty warm for western states. And the Gila hoodie is an awesome piece for keeping you cool and out of the sun. Their merino wool is also great. The zip off bottoms are a game changer.

I found all my Sitka gear to be extremely comfortable. I figured it made sense to splurge a bit for clothing I’ll be in multiple times a week for 14+ hours sometimes. It has held up well durability wise. I’ve also found the subalpine camo pattern to work really well in the areas I hunt. With this being said Sitka is the only high end hunting clothing I’ve had so I don’t have comparison. There’s head quarters is also in Bozeman MT my home state so I have some allegiance there. I also always waited for a sale to pick anything up. As I just can’t justify the retail prices no matter how good the product is.
