- SITKA, Stone Glacier, KUIU, King's, and Kryptek. All of these companies make great products, and different users will prefer different pieces from each. In this podcast, Forest, Jake, and Brady talk about their ideal apparel setup from multiple brands. It is an unspoken taboo in the hunting industry to mismatch Camo brands, but we're here to talk about why it doesn't really matter.

I once got caught wearing Kuiu and Sitka. Got told I was in the wrong neighborhood, was jumped and stripped down to my First Lite base layers.
I agree with Jake on the KUIU pants. I didn't realize athletic fit meant you didn't have balls. I've checked the tags multiple times on mine to see if it said womens. My KUIU pants are a good way for me to sing high notes. Forest is right about the pants, Stone Glacier have been treating me extremely well, plenty of room for the boys & comfortable.
Kyle, you're a modern day hero.
I wish I could wear different camo patterns together. My OCD will not let me!
Ha! This is a very real problem isn't it.
I agree that hunting clothes are expensive! For years I went the cheap route buying cotton pants and shirts that didn't breathe and stretched out obnoxiously over time. A "clothing system" for hunting is definitely an investment but there are several times throughout the year that hunting websites have sales. I bought a bunch of sitka closeout gear last year and love it, especially for early season. As soon as mid-season hits I prefer my first lite pants (corrugate foundry)and whatever top combo the weather requires. I refuse to pay full price for top brands, especially when I know there will be a sale around the corner.
I’ve been loving mixing and matching different brands, I get the best of everything and design a system that works exactly how I want. Great video guys!
Need y’all to buy a super down pro to share and then come back to the puffy discussion, I can only seem to find the SG vs Sitka
I've used the Super Down Pro before and it is definitely up there for favorite puffy on the market. They do a great job!
I've been wearing the Kuiu Talus Hybrid pant from early season right through January with layers underneath. I ground bowhunt the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains in New York. The pant is athletic, breathable, waterproof in the knees and bottom, and very tough.
I haves used the Talus in a ton of different situations and have been very impressed by it as well. I wish they still made it in a solid color! -Brady
Love what you guys had to say! Thanks for the great content! One question… have you guys ever used firstlite if so, what do you think of it?
That is one brand that I don’t think many people on the team have much experience with. They went consumer direct a few years back so we aren’t able to sell them either.
@@gearfoolThanks! I kinda forgot about the direct to consumer. Love all your gear reviews. You guys speak highly of stone glacier, I’m exited to try some out in the future! Keep it up guys!
I almost have to mix because I am picky about what I like and I keep trying different ones. My favorite pants are the forloh allclima pants.
I’ve been curious about their products, glad to hear you like them! -Brady
Walmart to the Woods could be an entirely different podcast 🤔
All you need is Walmart
I look forward to listening to this video. I think having matching camo discourages people from buying expensive gear because they feel like they are obligated to stick with that brand from there on out.
Absolutely. Hunting is the only industry I know of where sticking to a single brand is so promoted.
Yep...no point in having a set of expensive stuff that gets a few weeks a year out of the closet.
