Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Under Armour Ridge Reapers

I probably do a bit more hunting than you get to do (for deer) and ive owned a bunch of just about everything, and IME first lite and sitka are the bees kneees

to clarify tzone i do own a bunch of UA stuff, most of its golf clothes, although i have some 4.0 long johns and some hoodies, its great gear, i just prefer first light and sitka

I ordered one of the UA RR 03 shells about a month ago.

A size large was way too small, XL fits okay but the shoulders and arms are still almost too snug.
(I'm 6' and 200lbs)
The material appears to pretty nice and should cut the wind and block a decent rain. I do wish the hood was removable, might cut it off and add some heavy duty snaps.

Small logo, first camo clothing I have ever bought. Pretty sure I was drinking when I made the order.

Coop,

I have no doubt what so ever that the Sitka it top notch gear. I just can't bring myself to pay almost double for it when I get the quality Im ok with from UA. That said I don't have UA jackets, just base layers. The 4.0 base is almost too hot if you move around at all.

Sam, I agree the sizes run at least one size smaller than listed.

T, UA the hoodies I have run true to size, maybe even a little big, the RR jacket fits different.


The plan is to wear 1-3 layers of snug fitting merino under it depending on temps.

I have the UA 4.0 base layers. They are awesome for sitting in the cold. But like Tzone said, if you do any walking/stalking, prepare to sweat like a menopausal moose.

You've got that right!

We usually shoot 6~8 prone matches when the temps are at or below freezing. Wearing a base layer of UA cold gear under either a sweatshirt or a cammando sweater I'll sweat my aze off when shooting or pulling targets. The only time I throw on a coat is when I'm scoring.

I can see your point here; makes sense to me & testimonials here from people who REALLY use the gear make me think I may need to check em out.




Comparing UA to Toyota is like comparing a Hanes underwear tag to a billboard on the EWay.

As was mentioned NF & UA both became yuppie labels; the former lost its prominence by chasing just that over useful gear.

I really do like the looks of SamO's coat and like what I've heard from TZ & others re: other products of theirs. It demonstrates to me that perhaps I've committed the great sin of reaching a conclusion prior to appropriate investigation.

You lobbed up the softball there! haha

Best pair of boots I ever bought were I. Setters.

Best outdoor wear I ever bought was/is UA. It may costs a few bucks more but it last forever.

Like my first business manager always said...you buy a $99 suit then you get a $99 suit.

I doubt any UA boot will replace my Kenetrek

There is a UA outlet just outside of St Louis and I hit it every year for sales on long underwear

I love UA long underwear and socks

Which has Columbia logos all over the place. As does Cabela's, Mossy Oak, Carhartt, REI, Grudens etc.

Show me something other than cheap China junk from Wal-Mart without a logo. And even then....

Just silly! Like saying everything in your house and life are totally made in the USA!

Show me anything not made overseas

I like Graywolf wool for treestand

Kuiu and Kryptek for mountain hunting out west

UA long underwear with both styles of hunting
