Are you looking for a new complete system? Or upgrading some pieces? If budget is not important than I think hands down sitka is better. But its pricey and depending on the type of hunting your doing it may not be worth it to drop the coin if you wont reap the benefits. What season? Type of terrain? Miles covered play a role? IMO sitka merino is rip off. Absolute junk compared to other brands that cost half as much. Other than that I have been satisfied to very pleased with all their stuff I have owned.
sitka is good for early season i have it but late you get cold
With all the good words on sitka it looks like ill be spending the money on some new sitka gear for this upcoming year
.....but remember Sitka isn't good for late seasons because you get cold.

I suppose if you are wearing it as outerwear it might not last, but as a base I think it lasts just fine.
That's about 1.5 years longer than I have ever gotten out of merino. Must be some good stuff or not 100% merino I had some Red Hot Chilly stuff years ago they said had merino. It lasted a long time. Itched to beat heck so I'm not sure how much merino there was. Stuff was sure warm and resisted stink.
I have been blowing $ on UA stuff for years & have a lot of it. I think I'm ready to switch to another type this season if I can sneak it by the boss.
