Stand hunting layering/clothing

[SCSwitchback]

It is your money but for the 99% SC hunting, I believe you are overthinking it.

Get caught with the wrong gear during that “1%” and you’ll never think that way again. Happened to me on an Illinois trip in 2014 and I swore it would never happen again.

Like I said……for the 99% of SC hunting. I have seen cold weather in the Dakotas and Montana and it can be vicious. Merino wool layers, fleece, gore Tex and a little common sense will take care of the 1%……it ain’t nothing but money. Spend away and don’t forget the stickers for your truck.

Can't believe none of you SC boys have mentioned ASIO gear yet. I have used it this year and couldn't be more impressed. Down to 28 degrees with the late season pants and a CHEAP base layer and t-shirt, mid season hoodie and then coat up top and didn't even think about the temperature. Not much wind but you can get the bibs and layer for real cold and wind. You can't get more quiet.

I don't know how many of you know Joe that started it but he is from Camden and I doubt many on this site have spent more time in a tree stand. Not saying the other brands mentioned aren't great, but for me it stacks right up there. Definitely not the cheapest available, but from my experiences so far, you couldn't get me to trade what I have from ASIO so far for any of the other brands.

I have the following and layer as needed.
Sitka pro grade 140 and 350 top and bottom
Equinox pants
Stratus bibs and jacket
Fanatic hoody
Celsius midi jacket (discontinued)
Stratus vest.

Combining those I can get into the mid 20’s. Any colder and you’re going to need fanatic. However it’s way too warm to use in sc 90% of the time.

I am sponsored with Sitka but was a long time user of other brands. However this list is a good one to go by here. The additions I would add are the ascent jacket and the heavy weight hoody. Both will give you light weight and or layering options.

Black Ovis for base layers. Half the cost as Sitka and the exact same product.

[Southernduck]

I’ll having trouble figuring out how I’ve killed all these deer in work clothes.

Me too. Most of y’all sound like y’all could complicate a blowjob.

ETA 20deg with a 20mph wind ain’t shit. It ain’t cold til your eyes are watering and the tears are freezing in your eyelashes.

You’re sponsored and they send you free gear, or do you have the discount that half of America has if they work in the outdoor industry or a first responder?

Yes the Asio stuff is legit.

The best thing I’ve bought for SC hunting is the Milwaukee M12 heated hoodie. Takes the 12v battery, get Cold? Just push the button and warm up, then click it back off. Keep an extra battery in my bag with the M12 flashlight.

This right here. I got a $90 heated vest off amazon. It will run on low for at least 8 hours and keep you warmer than youd like.

I haven't understood a single word in this thread.

They dont know about Rattlers and Levis.

Which one did you go with? Thought about getting one for my boys.

Man they are all about the same. Some just have a little different heat zones. That’s about it. Some weird name brand

I’ll having trouble figuring out how I’ve killed all these deer in work clothes.

I am sitting in a deer stand right now wearing a 25 year old pair of Walmart camo pants, a 30 year old SCHP fleece half zip, and a 20 year old light jacket from Clothing world, bought on sale.

My wife will probably bury me in this get up, hopefully no time soon.

People got more money than good sense.

I am befuddled by folks that think they need to wear camo head to toe to kill a deer.

Milwaukee I just got one and love it.

I bought a Sitka Delta Wading Jacket in search of a reliable rain coat. Spent 4 days in the rain last week in S. Louisiana, I was impressed. I bought an XXL so I could fit my Sitka Duck Oven jacket underneath.....if I ever see cold weather again in my lifetime. The Duck Oven jacket is obscenely HOT.

Sure beats that Kmart sweater don’t it lol

I just spend a week on Kodiak and spent more than I'd care to admit on Kuiu gear. It's legit. So legit I had no idea on how to dress and my first trip up the mountain had me soaked with sweat. Rain, 40mph winds and 20 degrees were brisk but comfortable with jacket, pants and a merino base layer.

Kuiu camo in SC is silly. It's like shooting a 75lb yearling with a 461 Ribgy.
