I have the Sitka Stratus bibs and the Fanatic jacket. What a combination. This is my first year using Sitka and I am amazed. Base Layer tops and bottoms (cheap duofold mid-weight), Fanatic Hoodie, Equinox Pants, Stratus bibs and Fanatic jacket. A couple of weeks ago it was in the low 20s and I stayed so warm it was ridiculous. You can't walk to your stand wearing the bib and jacket but that setup kept me very comfortable until I got out around lunch. Worth every penny to me.

I was skeptical about the Elevated II pattern, as the colors seemed very light. I have been hunting a spot that the deer really come out close to my stand and last year they busted me moving often. This year I haven't been busted once. The clothes are really designed for hunters too. The kangaroo pocket on the Fanatic jacket is the best thing since sliced bread.

If it isn't below 40 degrees, the fanatic hoodie and equinox pants keep me comfortable.

Needless to say, I would go with Sitka.

Here's to champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends.

Roll Tide!
