    Like Gunner said, I don't know how we ever killed anything wearing carhart and jeans. But I can also say that I was always one to bash Sitka and other brands for their high prices but after 14 days in Alaska hunting for Dall sheep I can say that the Sitka gear that I bought was worth every penny. UA is starting to make some pretty good gear, and as far as the camo pattern goes, all your trying to do is break up your solid silhouette into a more obscured pattern, that's why mossy oak works just as well as prairie ghost and Sitka Optifade.

    I'll second the Sitka gear. I don't think the camo pattern does anything for me at all, but the 90% top and bottom had me comfortable in temps ranging from 25-68 degrees. Never chilly and only a little sweaty. That and the stuff is incredibly durable. Pokes and jabs from pine and a couple of small slides didn't leave a mark on the clothing.

    I probably could have gotten 12x the articles of clothing for what I spent, but I wanted to buy the last thing I'll ever fall hunt in (assuming my addiction to craft beers doesn't cause my waistline to expand TOO much over the coming years). It is good stuff. I believe it is over-priced by about 30%, but it really is good stuff.

    I would encourage others to snatch some up if it drops in pricing in the next couple of years.
