as much as you can get away from cotton. I have no idea who is paying all that money for sitka, cabelas has some stuff that is priced at least as much. For pants I wear what I normally wear everyday, tru spec 24 7 cargo pants, coyote tan, which actually blends decently in the rocky terrain I normally hunt. I also have the same pants in multi cam, which is a pretty darn good all around camo pattern from mountains to sage brush desert. my pants are comfortable, functional, tons of pockets and dry quickly when wet. if I am hunting below 25 degrees I put on a compression type 100% polyester long john under them. If I am hunting below 15-20 degrees I go with a cabelas outfitter wool pant. I don't normally do much hiking when its that cold so a heavy pant works just fine.
for tops I run a polyester thin shirt, then a polyester hoodie, then a cabelas wooltimate coat. the wooltimate coat is amazing it comfortable from 60 degrees riding around in the truck to around 0. I have packable rain gear if needed. I think someone mentioned wet hunting conditions is where sitka works great. thinking more about it thats probably correct. I actually don't normally hunt in wet conditions much. a summer cloud burst is all I have to worry about.
