Egli's? Was it wool?

Skre?

Jackfield maybe? They’re based in Quebec though, not Ontario.

Stanfields is in nova scotia.they have stores across the country.

Wonder if it’s this Chinese-made “Sitka style” brand called AinFad?

never heard of it, but to be honest i buy all my hunting camo from the discount bins at walmart.

x2 for Skre....most likely. My friend bought some and I thought it was Sitka as well.

Skre looks quite a bit like Sitka. Never heard of the other name.

 

[winruger]

yes that is it i think....i think the guy didn't realize that it is made in China and imported to Canada....all i can find on the internet is at aliexpress ... so ok, then there is sitka that is made in Vietnam.

One thing I noticed right away is how loud the fabric is. If you crank the volume (video post #6) and ignore the sound of the zippers, whenever he puts his hands in any of the pockets or rubs them against the pant legs, it is terribly loud, like a ski jacket or snowmobile suit.

I bowhunt late season deer and that clothing material would be unacceptable. The cold air makes sound travel much farther than in warm air. You can get away with small movements but you can’t get away with unnatural sound.

Compare with actual Sitka, and the difference is night and day:

They have the outlet stores and a list of other stores that carry their clothing.

I can’t help with hunting specific clothing cause I use wool pants, shirts and sweater, flannel when warmer…. But one thing for sure is buy something you can actually try on! Something you can move around but see it the fit is good and if the noise isn’t over the top, especially with pants, pants legs that rub against each other can make quite the racket!

The Skre stuff is really nice. I've got a bunch of it. It's really easy to move around in.

Agreed, I like their stuff a lot. Nice having a decent company in Canada producing top quality gear.

I have purchased Ash Brown Hard Scrabble Jacket, Pants and Long Sleeve zip shirts ... I wanted stuff for other than hunting and it's pretty nice, and I waited for the recent early Aug sale. I have Sitka Marsh Hudson stuff for birds and Sitka Open Country stuff for big game hunting, and some Kuiui for in-between sports needs.

Its all good! I always tried to purchase during sales but sometimes just needed it so made the plunge. I do find the Sitka stuff a tad more robust... where as the Skre Hard Scrabble is more for early season and/or lighter weight - but meets what I wanted.
