I tried on the incinerator suit at scheels and couldn’t leave without buying it. Much lighter than the fanatic suit also it’s quiet maybe not as much as berber fleece but nothing I would be concerned with. I’m on wearing my bibs in all unzip them all the way until I’m in the tree. But either way both bibs and jacket pack well. Thanks for the review I appreciate it good luck on your 2022 season, and thank you for your service I appreciate that most of all.
Another awesome review bud ! Thanks for sharing with us ! Congratulations on 10k supporters ! Heck of a milestone ! Very well done and extremely well deserved !
Finally after years of running the Fanatic and the Stratus system I was able to buy the Incinerator aerolite bibs and jacket on sale this year at 40% off. It’s a very important piece of kit for me for late season that I lacked for so many years. Even though the Fanatic is awesome it was never good in that cold, snowy, wet weather after hours of sitting on stand. Now I should be good to go! Love this system so far.
You rolling those up reminds me of rolling my gear up tightly to put in my ruck sack lol, bitter sweet memories. Best of luck to you this season man. Trying to decide between this or the Fanatic set. My stratus doesn’t cut it for me in the cold lol
Good review! I've been considering picking up a set. I wear mostly kuiu for western hunts. But they dont really have anything specific for treestand hunters.
First off Thank You for your service! I’ve had awesome results with the Sitka Fanatic jacket paired with Sitka’s (original model) Incinerator Bibs. Recently I was given an option of upgrading to the Aero-lite version of the Incinerator bibs due to the (stitching/rubber/weather taping) failing. I contacted Sitka CS and was granted 2 options..... REPAIR the older set of bibs or REPLACE with the new aero lite version..... I decided to go with a replacement.... I was initially concerned the newer model might not perform (be as warm) as the original but after watching your video I believe I made the correct decision. By chance do you own/use an Ozone generator (scent crusher) ? If so have you ever experienced damage to your Sitka gear after treating with ozone?
Thanks! Yeah, I do use Ozone. I try and keep things with elastic on shorter run times and try to tuck the elastic underneath the clothing so it doesn't come in contact.
Probably not any better. I just think they pack up better and should be warmer. Also, if walking with them on, they don’t collect the burs like Fanatic does. I use the Fanatic Jacket with Incinerator bibs.
Are these really as warm as the name implies? I have seen numerous others claim that they froze in them that they are no warmer than insulated jeans , this is the only thing that keeps me from buying this set up .
I wore them yesterday in 25 degree temps with a steady 10 mph wind. Had on 1 base layer and was warm for 6 hours in the stand. Also snowed on me most of the time.
How do you think they would hold up walking through thorns ? My cheap pair keeps getting shredded as I drag deer back to the main train or as I track them after the shot. I've repaired a ton and they weren't very warm so want to upgrade. The Incinerator sounds like best for warmth....but will they also get destroyed by thorns?
The fabric/material on them actually handle thorns pretty well. Now if it’s just tromping through briar patch after patch, it’s going to take its toll. Overall, they do well but I don’t walk through what I call a lot of thorns in them.
Yeah, to me they are. If they are cooler, I can’t notice it. Did some treestand hunting with them and wore them a bunch on cold coyote hunting all nighters.
Great video, thanks for the walk through. What advice/factors would you give someone evaluating the fanatic bibs versus these? From my perspective, obviously the answer can be "it depends" but the main point I have is with respect to warmth. The reviews on the Sitka site (specifically for the new aerolite incenerator bibs) is honestly a little underwhelming. Obviously this is the first season hunters have had, so maybe/hopefully more reviews are on the way. Regardless, I think the goal for me is to have the absolute warmest bibs out there. Period. I really like all of my Sitka gear, but being from Indiana (where it's a lot colder than where I'm at in the South), how did they perform when you were static for 3-4 hours? Have you owned the Fanatic bibs and could rate them for a similar situation against the incenerator? If you don't mind, also share what you wore on those sits. Thanks so much man, really enjoying your vids.
Thanks! I have never owned the Fanatic Bibs so can’t compare them. I would say the warmth factor is fairly similar between the two. I much prefer the Incinerator due to not picking up as many burs, repelling water much better and the pack ability is huge for me. With the Incinerator, I only wear the Heavyweight bottoms underneath and have always been fine.
@@HoosierHunter awesome. The pack ability feature seems to be pretty key…thanks for showing how to do that! I saw that strap in a local shop and couldn’t figure out its purpose. Merry Christmas!!!
what do you use for a mid layer with these or recommend? I bought these and been out with them 2 times and froze my ass off in low 20s, due to my own ignorance off course coming from using Woolrich heavy bibs for the past 20 years where all I needed was thermal base and jeans and was set for teens. Was thinking about Sitka equinox midi pants or Cabela's wooltimate pants.
I'm a big fan of Sitka Heavyweight Bottoms as well as a pair of these. You could even get two pairs of these and layer up even more. I wore these quite a bit while in the military and still use them. amzn.to/3rvv0MB
You think it’s worth the money or could I just run my fanatic suit with extra layers ? I would definitely buy it, but I just got the newer fanatic suit last year and my wife would probably be pissed if I dropped another 13 hundred on another suit
I have the newer style fanatic. How would u say they compare ? I got the fanatic for the fact I bow hunt 90% of the time. But now I am questioning getting these
@@HoosierHunter I’ll never understand people who troll. I can’t grasp it for the life of me… i love your channel and found all of your Sitka reviews overly helpful! 🤙🏻
Appreciate ya! People like the Brad Hall comment are just flat out punks. Never understand them either. They are the type that are just always safe behind their keyboard or cellphone. Weaklings! It’s sad.

Man, can you give a short review on your project incinerator set? How warm are they, especially compared to the fanatic?
Another awesome review bud ! Thanks for sharing with us ! Congratulations on 10k supporters ! Heck of a milestone ! Very well done and extremely well deserved !

They are awesome! This was my first season with them. Very warm. The only problem I have with them is, they collect alot of burdock!
I love mine! They do collect burs, but nowhere close to the Fanatic line.
Lightweight and warm. Love the little extras🤙
For sure buddy!
Those look warm. My fanatic is my go to when its cold. Is the incinerator better, or just for super cold.
Probably not any better. I just think they pack up better and should be warmer. Also, if walking with them on, they don’t collect the burs like Fanatic does. I use the Fanatic Jacket with Incinerator bibs.
Im the same for weight and height as u would go to a XL to bend easier or stay with a large
Oh and great review!!

No problem!

After using them, are they as warm as your other bibs you had? I've read they are cold. Looking into buying them or the fanatic bibs. Thanks
Yeah, to me they are. If they are cooler, I can’t notice it. Did some treestand hunting with them and wore them a bunch on cold coyote hunting all nighters.

@@HoosierHunter Thanks for the response, ill grab a set and try them for the price, if not I will probly go sitka.

It's definitely worth the money, but if you have the Fanatic suit you will be good. Just layer up a little more.
Once deer season wraps up, let's go smack some yotes!!
Let’s make it happen 🤙
Unbelievable how small they roll up. Looks like they thought of everything as far as pockets, leg zippers and the rest.
Best of the best!
Nice bibs brother
Thanks for watching buddy!
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Is the outer material same like last gen?
Yep. Same material.
I have the newer style fanatic. How would u say they compare ? I got the fanatic for the fact I bow hunt 90% of the time. But now I am questioning getting these
Never used the Fanatic bibs so I can't compare those. I use the Incinerator Bibs and the Fanatic Jacket.
I love mine
👍👍
If you had to guess what do you think they weigh?
Thanks! Weight is 49.5 ounces.
Other than weight, any difference? I bought a used set and I'm not sure if I have the aerolite set or the original
Incinerator jacket hand pockets are useless waste of money 💰
Never used the Incinerator Jacket but love my Fanatic Jacket
Get to the review already
I did already

Looks like no more military discount from sitka .
