Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Sitka or other expensive clothes - are they worth the $?

I have a lot of the pricey gear and use it hard. I do have to say that I really liked the 1st gen sitka mtn pants for example,I still use a pr after 8 yrs of hard use, but the newer stuff often seems to have too many silly doodads on it. I do use cabelas microtex, I find cabelas gear hit or miss but the microtex stuff works great. Recently got a pair of LL bean north weave pants, they are really really nice and only $60, and they come in green as well as camo. note they do run really small, I wear 35 jeans and needed 38s.

Like others have said, there is a world of difference in the gear I need in remote high el country when I am backpacking or need to plan to spend and survive a night out .vs. on my visits to my Buddy's ranch...
