O.K..... I was thinking about getting some Sitka gear recently, until I got a case of sticker shock! I believe in paying good money for good gear, but almost $1,500 for the whole wardrobe? To put things in perspective my d.i.y. Elk hunt in Colorado cost me $1,200. And yes, we got 5 elk. To be honest I have never even held this clothing in my hand, but I also have worn my G.I. issue polypro and Columbia wool bibs and parka for the last ten years hunting deer in Southeast Ohio and Elk in Colorado and I have been fine. Is this gear worth the price of a custom rifle? Maybe someone has a decent amount of experience with this gear can fill me in? Can I stay warm still hunting with this gear in Ohio at 20 degrees? Is it really waterproof, thus eliminating the need for rain gear? What about alternatives like "Russell Outdoors" APX2 gear? I will be looking forward to getting some reviews, until then I will be the one slipping through the pines in my $200 camo set, with $1,500 still in my pocket!!
