Sitka gear

Just wondering is Sitka gear really worth the money? I have been reading good things about it but it seems a bit pricy.

Well i cant speak for their new stuff first hand. But i have read the reviews and my buddy in Colorado seems to thinks its great. But i can tell you there older stuff is not worth the money(but that has changed now with the new product line). A couple guys had it last year on our elk hunt in Wyo and it didnt hold up(old stuff though). The question here though is what are you using it for? From what my friend says is the new pattern is awesome (optifade)and the clothes are great for walking and moving around alot in bad weather, but not super cold weather. He did say its not good for treestand hunting as it is very thin and would not generate much heat. So hiking out west in early archery/gun for elk then i think it would be great. But sitting still in the whitetail woods i think wool or someother products would be better.

Great, thank you for the feedback. I would be mostly treestand hunting for whitetail so that pretty much answers my questions.

I got some '08 stuffs that I am going to try next month. I like the material and the way it fit for bowhunting. If you're in cold weather, the celsius line and some layering should be good to go. I don't like bulky clothes for bowhunting, and this is the reason to try them out.

IMO I don't think it is junk, it does fit well but I would not pay full price for any other there products...it is not worth full price, but if you can get it on sale comparable to other products of the same thing than I would get it.
