Default Bowhunting outerwear........

I really don't want to get into discussion on patterns here. Honestly patterns really mean little to me, what I am most interested in is an article of clothing that will keep me warm, dry, functional, and allow me to layer whatever I need under it for 99% of my hunting conditions. If it's really bitter cold, I already have a good insulated coverall I can use so thats not important,I am most interested in a pants/jacket or bib/jacket combo that I can use for hunting in temps from the high 50's down to maybe the low 20's in temp.

Things that are important to me in order:

[ul][*]Less than $350-$400 total[*]Available to be in my hands before 9/15[*]Quiet[*]Durable (need to get at least 3 seasons of hard wear out of it)[*]Water resistant[*]Patterns won't fade[*]Available in a somewhat open pattern (not married to any one pattern)[/ul]
Brands I have looked at most are the Predator patterns fromGray Wolf, and the ASAT patterns from Sitka. I also like the Enigma products and the new Realtree AP roadtrips suit. Something I can order through the shop at a wholesale rate would be even better, but isn't my top priority.

If you have info on something that you don't want to discuss in public, feel free to PM me.

We hear great things about Gray Wolf, but does anyone have first hand experience with Sitka stuff?
