    This was the best switch I've ever made in my hunting years. I've made a large investment with nearly the entire sitka line from big game to whitetail line. Do you need it? No.. is it a game changer? YES! This system is of gear that will make everytime in the woods a better experience. I cant say enough how its built for warmth and being the ultimate predator.

    The elements of the "cold weather set" presented in this video align about 90% with the treestand set I recently put together. I'm glad you confirmed my choice :)

    Excellent review john. I hunt mostly the late season for whitetail and strictly use the fanatic set. Everything you said about the fanatic, you are spot on. The only thing I might do alittle different is use a heated vest under the jacket when the temperature dips. You are so right about the neck gaiter and beanie unbelievable how warm that keeps you. I wish the stratus jacket had the side zip with the kangaroo pouch.

    I definitely wear my fanatic vest more than I do my jacket.
    I typically wear the Kelvin Aerolite jacket with Fanatic vest with Fanatic bibs.
    Good well into the teens with this set up.
    Once I get into the single digits, break out the fanatic jacket

    Excellent coverage of the best cold weather bow hunting gear made. Just wish the Stratus system was waterproof. Our weather never gets anywhere cold enough for the Incinerator system and the Thunderhead system is not ideal for bow hunting.

    Only thing I'd say is the bibs get cold at the knees when sitting even with long johns and other layers. I Stay warm other wise that.

    Genuine question, I’m sure you have lots of hands on experience, but why not go with the incinerator set to reduce bulk, eliminate the need of separate rain gear, and then just adjust under layers accordingly?

    • @SITKAGear
      @SITKAGear  7 месяцев назад +1

      Shane, great question. The main concern with moving towards an Incinerator only system is noise and insulation. The Fanatic system is designed and built for close quarters-- encounters where noise can make or break the opportunity.

    Getting dressed warmly is a small difficulty. How to shoot in the cold is the problem. To do this, you need snowboard gloves or mittens. And a special release that no one has. Except me. And the problem is not just to shoot, but to make a high-quality shot.

      Hey Isaac, the Fanatic fits true to size. We engineer gear with a specific fit and intended end use in mind. These functional designs provide you with authentic garments for the right situation. We can communicate outfit descriptions in 3 different ways (performance, standard, expedition). Keep in mind that each garment will allow for layering in accordance to the garments place in a system and described fit.

    If you notice the stocking cap he is wearing don’t cover his ears and I find most companies fall short on making the hat actually fit. I wish they would just do the easy stuff well.

    The problem I have with synthetic clothing is the fact that it is so bad for the environment. Microplastis are doing so much damage, not to mention the process it takes to make. As outdoorsman, we have to be more aware of the clothes we put on and what they do to the woods we enjoy. Alpaca, wool, and others are much better.

      Thanks for sharing your problem. I desperately want you to lecture me more on how my hunting clothes are obliterating the woods. I’m just going to go dump 95% of my gear in the trash and hunt in nothing but my alpaca socks because micro plastics.

    • @alejandrovillegas2812
      @alejandrovillegas2812 7 месяцев назад +1

      @jamesstrickland2707 it's not a lecture, bro. But it is education. Some people take offense to knowledge. Unfortunately, you seem to be one of them. Be a fan boy, don't learn or improve, it does hurt me any. I didn't say dump you hunting gear. I have plenty of gear that is synthetic. I have learned, and as a go forward, I am wiser with my purchases. Take it or leave it, and no one forced you to read the comments.

      @twincam103 buy what you can afford and what you feel is right. That wasn't my point. Just because someone does something good doesn't mean there is room to do better and grow. Hopefully, your growth hasn't been capped out already. I have hope for you, bud.
