Bow hunting clothes

[MtnMuley]

Light weight merino from KUIU and Sitka, Core crew, and the Ascent pants, or Cabelas micro-tex.  The Ascent pants sweat quite a bit when hiking a lot, but are the lightest Sitka offers.  Zero complaints on the micro-tex.

Except it only fits if you're a 12 year old girl.

Kinda like the Sitka 90% pants?

They fit you just fine though dont they mtnmuley!?!?!

You'll have to judge that yourself, sweetheart.

Another vote for UA here.  The early season gear they came out with last year kicks butt!

Should we give you two some privacy?

heres an idea for you tikka, you should try every brand out there so you know what is best. or as you told me once,"figure it out yourself".

Just curious what you guys think is the best light weight camo to wear in the early season that is reasonably priced? I need new camo this yr suggestions??

Tavis...just go out in your skibs and roll around in an elk wallow...what better camo is there??

Wow you guys are something else. Grouse tracker a wears a bikini when hunting!

All cotton, due to the way it creates almost no noise, and can absord my cover scents very well.  If it rains, oh well I get wet, its washington.

Yeah, "oh we'll" I'm just 9 miles behind a gate with a dead ealk, im soaking wet in cotton clothing which is leaching any heat from my body. No thanks you won't find a single stitch of cotton in any of my hunting clothes. I hope your kidding around.

I really like the new micro fabric stuff that Predator has come out with, great patterns and lasts forever. Light weight and dries quickly, keeps you warm when it is wet. I got caught in a couple down pours last year in the late season before I could get my rain gear on and that stuff didn't hardly get wet at all. Great gear IMO.

[AKBowman]

Good stuff, I wore the pants last year for around 15 days in the field early and late season combined and they still look brand new.

AKBowman, how warm are those pants?  Are they too warm for early September archery elk?  I'm needing some new pants and will have to check these out.

I've hunted many times with blue jeans and a camo jacket.  As long as the wind is in your favor, limit your movement and use some scent control your going to be fine.  Tip: Washing clothes in a scent control detergent is very effective, but hang them outside to dry.  Throwing them in the dryer will get them contaminated with the perfume smells of previous loads. I found that out the hard way.

Cabelas Microtex Pants and Red Head long sleeve T or Mock T on top.  The Red Heat shirts are a lot thinner than Cabela's cotton T's so they breath really well.  I always carry some longies in my pack to throw on if I start getting soaked and cold.

The Microtex light doesn't have enough pockets for my needs or I would try it too.  BP Red Head has some good looking stuff, but the Microtex is tried and true.
