Warm, form fitting hunting jacket and pants??

[Sbarkowski]

Looking to get some better hunting clothes for this fall. I'm looking for something warm but not too big and baggy. I spend a lot of time on the move and need something that wont be holding me back. I've been looking at the Sitka Gear line. Anyone have any input on this or maybe recommend another brand? Looking for warm, waterproof, breathable and well fitted.

up to which warm or temps you need?

waterproof and breathable for rain or snow?

Kuiu or Sitka are maybe good but they re not better than any mountaineering clothes (pick up all the well known brands) honestly nothing new except the camo side ...

Stay well away from "Rivers West", it is well made, tough , quiet, and 100% water proof. Major problem is it doesn't breathe. I never noticed until I bought a pair of there best pants and there good Sawtooth coat. Noticed I was getting wet from the inside, h'mmmm. Read there literature again, sure enough no where in there could I find where they say the material is breathable. So if your doing alot of walking etc. this brand is not for you.

Layers are your friend. A good base of Marino wool and work out from there. I keep a puffy jacket in my pack at all times for when I get chilly or if I have to spend the night out.

I have a Shivershield Jacket. It's only 1/8th inch thick but you cannot keep it fastened if you are moving around or you will sweat like crazy. Expensive but well worth it. Watch the Video. Google is your friend.
