I normally tend to gravitate to a darker camo and I’ve been running bottomland before I switched to Sitka. For ducks, my outer layers are timber. For geese, my outer layers are marsh.
For me to make it a 1 system for everything, I’d have to swap the grinder pants for the equinox guard pants and add the equinox guard hoodie for those hot bug filled early season hunts, and then also add the kelvin aerolite jacket for extra insulation on those really cold late season hunts.
Thanks! I run similar setup with a few mods for Rocky Mountain big game late season. Excited to test ambient jacket. Had good experience with Patagonia Nano air otherwise. +Timberline pant, gunner gloves, blaze vest.
In wi I use the waterfowl line. Gradient, Dakota jacket etc and once the temp dips only whitetail line I own is the fanatic vest to wear over the top to bow hunt. Gonna be 9 deg opening morning of gun dear this Saturday. I know I’ll be fine
I really wish the Ambient was as durable as their 4 star rating states. Had it a couple weeks it already had several snags in it after fairly light usage.
@@fieldseriesreview it will definitely snag and rip. My Patagonia Nano Air did the same thing. I plan to later with a mountain jacket when not cold enough for jetstream.
I agree with everything you said except the outer layer Jetstream jacket. I think you should go with the Delta Wading jacket because it is 100% waterproof and windproof. If you needed more insulation than that, the Hudson is the same jacket as the DWJ, but with primaloft.
Depends on where you hunt and when your season comes in. I hunt the Deep South , so Timber works well. But if you’re hunting where things are pretty green, Sud Alpine is very versatile
Thanks for your reply! Really appreciate all your videos! I live in Central Oklahoma so we have leaves until pretty late in the season…thanks again, keep up the great work!
Wooot!!! Awesome video. Please continue making this videos!! I’ll watch every Sitka video you make

Hey I enjoyed meeting you and your wife at the NWTF in Nashville yesterday. I love my hat by the way.
I have a lot of pieces I use for everything living in Nevada. A lot of it definitely is useful for western big game

Yea I definitely thought the 4 star in durability was a little suspect.

It’s not exactly meant to be a outer layer
Can you do the Rover Down Jacket? I haven't seen any videos or reviews about it anywhere.
Super helpful! This was exactly what I was looking for!
Now if you have a do-it-all bow hunting system? I’d be set ;)

While I love the Delta wading jacket and the Hudson jacket for ducks, they are far too loud to turkey hunt and bow hunt in.
@@fieldseriesreview nailed it. Same with dew point. You only use fully waterproof stuff when you absolutely must. 😅
For the PNW I would swap to the DWJ for the shell
Could you possibly do a comparison of the traverse pant and the equinox pant? I’m debating on which one to go with for whitetail.
I don’t have the traverse but I’ll do some research
What kind of Sitka hoodie is that you have on? It looks more like of a performance hoodie instead of the normal icon hoodie
Can you post the list for reference.
How would you rate Subalpine for Turkey? I am switching to alpine from EvII primarily for the option to use for turkey

I hunt in South Carolina ! What pattern do you see works the best for early season and late season whitetail for our area of hunting ?
Elevated II
@@fieldseriesreview oh ok! Just wanted to ask, i figured subalpine would work good early season around pine trees and stuff
