@@joshjspice I really like the Fanatic bibs. They are really nice. My Asio bibs are really good too. As for the other comparisons, I am going to do a Huntworth Matterhorn comparison hopefully soon. I have only tried on the KUIU Proximity stuff and will have to try that one out in the future. Thanks!
I have never used pnuma, but i have used the fanatic and it is by far the best late season gear i have used, especially for bow hunting. The fanatic line was specifically designed for the bow hunter, wether you are a lefty or a righty it is designed for you, it is totally quiet and i love the hand warmer pouch, just put a couple of hand warmers in there and you are golden. Some people dont like the optifade elevated 2 camo, i am fine with it. For the trees i am in it blends in well especially if there is snow on the trees or on the ground. Good review keepnthem coming, very honest.
I have a question for you, im normally a early season elk hunter and go in September, but they stopped over the counter in colorado where i normally go, so this your im going rifle at the end of october in colorado, do you think that the highpoint pnuma gear would be good for cold out west hunting, or would the vintis be better
Thanks for the review - very thoughtful. I bought the Vintis, partially because of your review. I am very impressed with my first couple of sits in the low 20s. I love the jacket/pants/beanie and Gunnison Merino Wool Hoodie. Did not care for the Vintis gloves, you can't have Velcro (loud) on hunting gloves.
Yes it is. The winds and cold have been bad over the past week here and I was out with it and it does great. I tested their Vintis stuff earlier in the season in 28-32 temps with wind and it did really good too. I’m impressed with their new stuff. I had only tested early season stuff before and wasn’t that impressed, but this has been a very different experience.
Huntworth has the Matterhorn. It is their extreme cold weather hunting line. I haven’t tested it yet but I will be. I don’t know if it will be this year yet as I’m in the middle of testing some other items, but I am hoping to fit it in. The weather has to stay cold lol.
But worth is only worth it when you can catch them on a sale DO NOT pay MRSP for their gear wait for a sale and grab them up. Their heat boost is great
I picked up the Pnuma 3L waterproof pant and jacket after Christmas when they were 60% off. Was considering the Sitka dew point set, but even with their sale it was still close to double the price of Pnuma. Haven't put them to the test yet, but seem well made and I watched some other good reviews out there. Hopefully I don't regret not going for the gore-tex!
Everyone compares these types of garments for the features, their warmth and wind blocking ability, which is great, but what about the other aspects related to hunting. Cleaning blood, guts, mud etc. from them? The real parts of hunting. I have some outerwear garments that leaves, sticks and debris just seem stick to them, and you have to pick them off, some that are extremely difficult to get blood and gut stains out, which is terrible for trying to put hunting gear up for storage.
@@DennisGayness I did talk about stickies. With Berber fleece that is the trade off for warmth. Washing? No problem so far, but no blood to test unfortunately.
I have pnuma base layers merino and the merino gunnison hoodie. Nice products. I also have the rain pants and jacket. Both nice, and not too loud for rain gear. Oh yeah the hat I have a beanie is very versatile bc it’s reversible
The Pnuma Highpoint and Vintis were just on sale for 25% off which put them in the same price range as the Huntworth. I reviewed them all and bought the Pnuma Vintic set, I think the jacket was $174 during the sale. You are correct though, Huntworth has a lot of great late season gear.
@ The Vintis is great. It probably sits in the middle between the Huntworth Saskatoon and Matterhorn. I haven’t tested the Matterhorn so that’s an assumption. I think you’ll be happy with it. Plus, it is really comfortable.
Great review, thanks! Would love to see your review on the bibs and comparison to Huntworth & KUIU. Cheers!

Huntworth is sending me the Matterhorn jacket and bibs. I should have them by the end of the week.
Keep up the comparative reviews! Good info.
Thanks!

I think the Vintis would be better. The Highpoint might be too warm for that.
@@theeverydaybowhunter okay, thank you

@@davidoneill615 I like the gloves, but didn’t like the Velcro. I really liked the beanie. That being said, the Highpoint beanie is better.
Is the wind block in the pnuma as good as the gore ?
Yes it is. The winds and cold have been bad over the past week here and I was out with it and it does great.

How does the huntsworth line compare with these two items on their cold weather gear?

I’d like to review that too.
Sitka has the best zippers I’ve found. Super quiet.

This coat is insanely warm. The only problem with this coat is that the wind proofing in the pockets is like crinkling plastic. Very loud.
I didn't notice anything with the pockets. How is it making sound in the pockets? Are you talking about when you put your hands in? Thanks!
@ it seems like there is something in the outer piece of material in between the layers that is very noisy.
Haven’t tried any Pnuma gear but the fanatic is by far the best heavy jacket for a bow hunter. It’s gonna be hard to beat.
@@4kiro0331 it is a great jacket. But it’s got some competition here.

Good to know. Thanks.
Nothing but respect for sitka and pnuma but I'll stick with my Huntworth for half the cost and just as warm and functional.
They do have good stuff.
