Serious hunter camo setup

[MtnMuley]

I use core4element. Mariano wool boxers, element pants, assault long sleeve, mid mountain hoodie and or the summit jacket, selway beanie. I'll even throw in the Mariano wool base bottom if I plan on not moving much. But that's for temps 40 to 70 where I'm comfortable.

Rivera's undies??

WLS,

Do you have any of this stuff? Can you point to specific pieces or fabric combinations that they use that work for you?

I like the bigger open patterns like vias which was a big reason I went KUIU. But I really think multicam is a great pattern.

Thanks for sharing.

I have the Delta ACE jacket. Used it in weather under 25F with some base layers, and well...it's a warm setup. The outer shell is really lightweight, and it is a ripstop nylon. I can not wear this jacket in weather warmer than 40F while moving...it will cook me. FYI, it is NOT a hardshell, so it is not waterproof.

also sizes run small. I normally wear a large, and ended up ordering a 2X

Also have some stuff in Pencott Greenzone!!! Love that stuff, never used it in a hunting application as I hunt Modern Rifle, but in a Western Washington application, it works really well. for Eastern WA, Pencott Badlands would work well.

Not sure what you are looking for with respect to camo, but there is no "one size fits all" with respect to paterns and color pallets. You must use the correct stuff for your environment!!

Also, this stuff is not "famo" (fasion camo) like the kuiu and kraptek etc...etc. it is the real deal

Blue jeans and a sweater?

I have 1 layer cold gear compression and 1 layer of outer camo, works fine for me.

yep, that works too.

If I wore jeans they'd be water logged in minutes.

Good on you Plat for not buying into the hype.  I've already been sucked in.

Thanks for the input WLS. I agree that camo should fit the environment but if I had to buy multiple sets of stuff my wife would snuff me out in my sleep. So, I strive for versatility whenever possible and multicam/vias I think achieves that.

In the end, if you move, they peg you.

I run camo as an exception rather than a rule ive nailed down a pretty good system for my style of hunting ( out all day regardless of conditions).
Top: merino base layer (first lite is my favorite but I also have some smartwool and icebreaker that work fine) solid colors.
Insulating layer either synthetic puffy or wool sweater or light 1/2 zip shirt depending on time of year. I have a kuiu spindrift puffy for cold and wet, and kuiu 1/2 zips one wool and a tiburon for other conditions.
Shell- after trying a dozen or so rain jackets i landed on a goretex arcteryx shell. It was e,pensive but waterproof, breatable, light and packs small. I bust it out for showers only. Otherwise i rely on the dwr coating of my other layers.
Bottoms - merino long bottoms or exofficio briefs if its hot
either first lite kanabs or eddie bauer guide pants and most importantly for rainy day leg gaiters. Gaiters are the most underrated piece of clothing.
I also have a pair of full zip OR rain pants that I rarely wear unless its really coming down.
Ive pieced all this together for a fraction of what full matching camo from these quality of brands would be. And Ive not noticed a difference in how animals spot me with or without camo. Its more about comfort for me.

First lite merino and in ASAT and Sitka in ASAT and optifade for me. First Lite for warm weather, Sitka for pretty much everything else.

I don't think the actual camo print makes a darned bit of difference, to be honest. Weatherproof, quiet, durable material is indeed important. Not sure if that's what you were asking by "serious hunter camo setup"

Yea, I was looking to set up a layering system. What I have now is first lite corrugate pants, merino bottoms, llano long sleeve, Chama hoody, and my old rivers west stuff. I am planning on getting the stormtight pants/jacket combo and the puffy when First Lite has them in stock next year.

Sadly, none of my new stuff is waterproof so I'm still living in the rivers west gear.
I got everything in fusion so far.

As a review of what I picked up. The llano and Chama combined are great, no problem staying warm with the temps we have out on the coast right now. The Corrugate pants are my favorite piece, they are so comfy my fiancee has adopted them.
