You put together a great list. All of these are awesome pieces of gear. The only thing I would change is I would have to put the incinerator muff over the fanatic gloves. I’m just not a huge fan of wearing gloves while shooting a bow. I much prefer bare hands. The muff allows me to keep my hands toasty even in freezing temperatures but ready to make a shot on a deer. I really like the fanatic gloves for walking to the stand in cold temps though.
GREAT LIST! I have the Top 3 and would agree. I would change the Tool Box to the Tool Belt, as I’ve never needed a backpack hunting. Everything I take can fit in a waist belt. I would ADD the Equinox Midi Pant. The PERFECT pant for when temps dip. You can wear them alone or layer. Heck, I wear them around the house like sweat pants!
The hoodie is awesome..Def the #1--Can't beat the Stratus..I have a tool bucket and love it. The best feature for me is the way it opens up while hanging--not too open where things fall out but open enough to access everything quietly...Great lineup!
Love your reviews man! Quick question....what Core Lightweight do you layer under your Fanatic Hoodie? Do you wear just the Core Lightweight T or the Core Lightweight hoodie?
I know they have the science behind each pattern based on animals vision, angle of sight, etc. However, being in Georgia, do you think timber could be a turkey deer do everything pattern?
Hey man I have the stratus jacket and honestly it cuts wind but I don’t find it that warm.. are the stratus bibs warm? And what do you layer underneath the bibs with? Also, thanks for making these videos I’ve made a lot of purchases based on your videos
This season I’m running the fanatic hoody and ambient jacket under my Stratus Jacket. Then heavy weight bottoms and Equinox Midi pants under the stratus bibs. It’s been in the high 20’s each morning here and I’ve been warm.
Great video. I am a first year bow (tree stand) hunter in Central New York, with temps from 10-60 oct-dec. Would you recommend the fanatic set instead of the stratus with three layers?
Improve your camera to 4k, and get a directional mic. A canon 80D sitting on a tripod with good glass, L-Series stuff, with a Rode mic at the very least. There are better mics, but that'll get you started. Also, diffuse the light and shine it away from you directly, with a reflector that hits it so it shines back at you everywhere. That should improve your quality by about 400 percent. Good video otherwise.
@@jonanna980 I believe he uses a summit climber, I have to say I use a summit climber too and I absolutely love it! There are many pros and cons to all stands but the summit viper is my absolute favorite!! I'm not sure if that's the model he uses, but I love mine
It’s my first season with them. Not to concerned with it. Just wondering if it was a known issue with them. I have invested in a lot of Sitka gear this season and I’m overly pleased with all the layers I have bought so far. This is the only issue I have had with any articles of clothing.
Love your videos. I come to your channel first before buying anything. Keep it up!
Fantastic hoodie, October 1st to mid-January here in Illinois. Every hunt. Good call.

I love the tool belt and MIDI pants.

I love that fanatic hoodie so much I bought another one on sale for $120 last March for a back up.
Thank you for the video
🙏
could you do a review on the New Merino line vs. synthetics thx...great stuff
I agree with your top 5. It is my top 5 also.
You should do a video for all of Sitkas gear. Awesome videos been watching your stuff for a long time
I’d be broke if I owned all their gear! 😂
@@fieldseriesreview as you grow your collection of course!
Have you tried the traverse pants? Would you rank those as being pretty close to the equinox pants
Love your reviews man! Quick question....what Core Lightweight do you layer under your Fanatic Hoodie? Do you wear just the Core Lightweight T or the Core Lightweight hoodie?
I wear the long sleeve crew.
my debate.....Fanatic pack is better than the tool bucket! Give it a try!

Ignore my comment, I just watched the video in which you explained this.
You should do a five piece system for the waterfowl line
It’s coming soon.

Hey man, I like your content. It’s definitely helped me pick out my Sitka gear. But do you only do reviews on Sitka stuff ?
I’ve reviewed other stuff but people watch the Sitka reviews way more.
@@fieldseriesreview that makes sense. You mentioned your climbing stand. I’m in the market for a new one. I’d watch a review on that

There should be a timberline style pants in the whitetail lineup. Saddle hunters need pants knee pads and waterproof backs too!!!!
Anybody else had a problem with their fantastic gloves coming unstitched down the thumb seam?
Season 4 with mine, no issues. See what Sitka CS says?
Yes I also have . Happened this passed week. I’m only in the second season of use. The seem just opens up and the gloves are practically useless.

Just buy Kryptek for a fraction of the price
