Does anyone here use the fanatic jacket and bibs?
Please give me your opinions on them.

I really like mine for November.  I was able to eliminate two layers with the jacket and bibs.  The wind stopper makes a big difference.  The only thing I might change is make it waterproof.

Yep. Excellent. The cross wise zipper take a little getting used to but the built in hand warmer makes that well worth it.

I have many pieces of Sitka Gear and love it. I gave my Fanatic Jacket to my RH shooting son. The grunt tube pocket interferes with my bowstring because I shoot leftie. I thought about unstitching it and keeping but my son loves it.

:D   I would go insane trying to wear that jacket as a lefty, but my son does not even blink. I guess that is a benefit of being young and not quite so set in one's ways.

I too have several pieces of Sitka gear. Excellent hunting wear. Like hawk22 mentioned you can eliminate layers with there system and be less bulky.

I love it.  It has several useless pockets, but for warmth, It is awesome for late season bow hunts in MS

It's as good as it gets in my opinion.  Been a wool guy for many years, and still love it, but nothing has kept me as warm as the Fanatic set in a cold November treestand.  Lightweight, form fitting, super warm with perfect pockets...etc, I can't wait for it to get cold this season just so I can wear it again! Here is my advice though.  Take your size measurements and buy exactly what size they recommend.  If you switch to the layers that Sitka makes, you will need less layers.  I bought mine a size bigger than they recommended thinking I would put a bunch of layers underneath it and after hunting through November in it, I realized I should have gone with what they recommended.  I sold my large set, and bought a medium set.  I also bought the recommended layers to go underneath it, and it all fits me like a glove with minimal bulk, loss of movement etc.  It's really good stuff.

I like it so much I've even bought some pants in solids to wear as everyday clothing.

I wear a lot of the core long sleeves as outer wear during the early season.

I also like KUIU.

The only thing I don't like about Sitka Gear is some of the items, in some sizes, sell out often.

For right hand shooters the Fan Jack has a binocular pocket that holds them out of the way off the the right of center. Perfect for shooting downward from treestand. Mike

You know, maybe that pocket that's in my way (I'm lefty) is a binoc pocket not a grunt-tube pocket. My RH son is glad the jacket didn't work for me. It is VERY warm and quiet!

I'm a very thin guy so this system shines for me. Shooting in late season where it gets to -20 C quite often has always been a problem for me. This keeps the bulk down and still gives me the chance to sit the full 10-12 hours.
