early season backcountry clothes

[dreamingbig]

What do you guys think about the under armour evo long sleeve t? It's super lightweight and suppose to help with staying cool.  I was also looking at the cabelas microtec but it seems like its pretty heavy for early September where the temps hit 80's where I live. Any input? The only concern I had was the durability of the material of the under armour.

Okay if day hunting. If you are going to go out for 3 or more days than you would be better off with merino wool.  The odor reduction is amazing!

I use the kuiu merino wool top, and just bought a pair of their Tiburon pants. 
(Same cut as the attack pant but lighter and breaths).  Supposed to be excellent for early season and considering I've been using army bdu's for everything I'm guessing these will do fine even a little later in the season.

I was at cabelas yesterday and found some hiking pants that are forest green and almost feel itentical to the sitka ascent. They are a bit different in cut and pockets but material is very similar. Think they were $55 or 60$. Could be pretty good. If I didn't have plenty of sitka pants I'd have triedthem out.

My girlfriend bought a pair of hiking pants made by Koppen, Ill tell you right now these pants are better than my Sitka pants and less than half the price. They almost feel the same ans stretchy, the huge difference was out shed hunting, I was soaked thru in minutes, her pants were bone dry shedding water, super quiet too

I bought some core4element clothing this year, this last weekend i put it to the test. I went in w/ marino wool bottoms, marino wool 1/4 zip top, the switch back pants, pivot long sleeved, element vest, assault long sleeve, and the torrent rain gear. When i was on the move just had the switch back, vest, and pivot shirt on. Was warm around the core but wasnt sweatin like a pig at 6am. As the day moved on had to remove the vest but for the most part i was comfy, kept cool.

I wore my Sitka Mountain Pants yesterday on a +/- 5 mile on and off trail hike in the e-wa heat and they were awesome.

Microtex comes in regular and lite. I have both (pants). Lite is better in warm weather. It is good stuff; best unlined/non-insulated pants I have used.

They're on sale:

Sitka is way cheaper if you get it in the beginning of Jan, if you don't mind waiting. It is also WAYYY worth the price. But, if you haven't got the dough, then no matter how worthit it is it might in fact NOT be worth it, get it?

[sboada]

Another vote for Core4Element. Used their stuff exclusively last year and it worked out really well.  And their stuff can be had for alot less than Sitka on Camofire.com and BlackOvis.

I love my bdu's lightweight army pants, no burr's, light and fairly cool on hot days.

I just bought some Kryptek gear for this upcoming season. I haven't had a chance to test it yet but it seems like good gear.

[CAMPMEAT]

Whites Smokejumper boots, Levis and a hickory shirt. Orange too, when needed. That's all you need. 

[Sliverslinger]

If you have to pick and choose, I suggest Kuiu or firstlite merino wool base layers.  They are the perfect backcountry shirt.  You can wear them into the 80s F and they stink much less after 4-5 days than anything else will.  I also love the firstlite kanab pants or Kuiu attack.

Happy shopping!
