love the sitka stuff I have..the Ascent pants I have may possibly be the best pant I have ever worn for early season and easily wear a layer under them for colder weather. I also have a pull over that fits extremely well and is super quiet. I am happy with it

I have a good friend that swears by Kuiu, however I dont like the camo pattern. I ordered a bunch of Sitka gear and I love it. Very comfortable and quiet. I really like the 90% jacket and pants.

Check out the new blog page on Kuiu.    Though I don't expect the fit to be any better for guys with over sized love handles like me I think the new green pattern is a winner :tup:  What do you think?

I just ordered a Guide DCS jacket in Verde as they just came in today. Hopefully I'll like it as much as the Vias pattern.

Nice work, the new Verde looks awesome.  Thinking about getting the rain gear in it.  May also end up with the same jacket you have - I have the Attack pants and they are the best pants that I've ever worn.  My hunting partner has the Guide jacket (non DCS) and it's better than my 90%.

Is the 90% set warm enough for winter hunting?

Depends on your definition of winter hunting and weather you are going to sit for long periods of time. 

I wear either the Cabela's Goretex bird pant or Sitka's 90% pant most of the time during late archery on the west side with Core pant or Cabela's polartec underneath.  Although I almost always refresh the DWR on the 90% prior to the season starting.  They work great unless the rain is pounding or the snow is very wet.  But, I don't often hunt in the late season by sitting still for very long.  Usually on a set of tracks and go, go , go!  I would definitely have a waterproof or warmer backup plan if I planned to sit for extended periods like I did back when we hunted the east side.
