I have about 260 buck left in the kitty to purchase some gear. So far I have 2 pairs of ascent pants and a traverse zip. All in forest. What's my next move?
The stuff I think I want they don't make in forest. I was thinking about 2 SS core shirts and either a Jetstream vest in Gray or an ascent jacket in forest. What's the best bang for the buck. I need it to double for an elk hunt in 2 weeks and whitetail season.
Does anyone mix Kuiu verde and forest together? I really like the guide jacket because of the hood.
I have the 90% jacket and it is my favorite piece. But That being said I have the Jest Stream Jacket on my list. I just like a hood on my jacket for these cold windy days or lightly rainy day
I like those too but they don't make them in forest. I'm not real crazy about the fanatic stuff and its so heavy.
I'd get a set of merino and a Kelvin vest. I always have a kelvin vest with me. On or scrunched up all tiny in my pack for a night on the mountain. Their merino base layers are awesome.

Sometimes I will wear Kuiu Verde merino shirt with Sitka Forest pants...I prefer Sitka Forest for whitetail hunting from a tree stand.
If you're looking for a jacket with a hood, have you looked at the Sitka Stratus jacket, as it has a hood. Might be a little heavy for chasing elk, but I like it for whitetail hunting.
I have many pieces. I like my Core Hoody ($99) and the Kelvin Vest ($189)
I wear lots of the core items as my outer garment for much of the white-tail season.
The Stratus Jacket is great as well.
The Fanatic uppers aren't well suited for left-handed archers. The gear pocket on the right chest interfere with the bowstring. I bought the Fanatic jacket and found this out.
Mixing the patterns makes no difference to the animals-only to us. I am very impressed with the 'early season whitetail pants' I bought this year-very well thought out and well made.
I've got the Stratus jacket and bibs, very nice gear ! I will also be ordering more of Sitka gear soon !
Another vote for Stratus Jacket. It has windstopper in it and should work for both a late Sept elk hunt and of course whitetail tree stand hunting.
