Sitka Gear Review

As mentioned in the previous post about my thoughts on technical hunting clothing, this post is essentially a review of the Sitka Gear clothing pieces that I own.  I didn't want to bore everyone with a long drawn out post on the inherent qualities of a hat if someone is only interested in the Mountain Pants.  I have broken out the Sitka Gear items by category (shirt, pants, jacket, etc) and then listed out each item and included weight, pros, cons, and comments/thoughts on the individual piece of gear in a table format.  I am calling this my Sitka Gear Matrix.  (When I have had a chance to fully utilize and test out the KUIU clothing I have, I'll add it to the spreadsheet for comparison to the Sitka Gear.)

My thought is that this matrix can help out someone who is interested in buying a new piece of Sitka Gear, or possibly picking up a used piece off of eBay and wanting to read a review of the item before they buy it. 

Click HERE for a link to the Sitka Gear Matrix which will bring up a spreadsheet of the below screen capture images from the spreadsheet.

Glossary of Terms: MM1.0=Mountain Mimicry 1.0, MM2.0=Mountain Mimicry 2.0, LT=Large Tall, OSFA=One Size Fits All
