This topic has probably been covered on the forum in some detail but there is so much information when plugging in search terms it just isn't very productive. Linking this to an existing discussion may help me out and may be the best way to proceed so, if you wish, link away!
Otherwise, here are some thoughts I'm having about clothing gear in no particular order of priority:
* Reliability - don't want to be in the field and have malfunctioning gear
* Price point - don't really want to take on a 2nd mortgage to buy clothing
* Layers - trying to determine the best/number to use and how to integrate into seasonal use, not really wanting to wind up with multiple sets of gear if layering covers seasonal need/use
* Camo pattern - am wanting dual use for rifle and future archery
* Buying for others - will probably end up buying for wife, for sure for my son
Been looking high and low for discounted gear and various vendors like Cabela's, Krptek, Sitka, Badlands, UA...pretty much up and down the line not wanting to leave anything out. I know Sitka is thought of very highly here and for good reason but maybe my bullheadedness has the better of me and I'm just not comfortable yet with this new area of outlays needing to be made.
I would very much appreciate feedback from anyone who cares to make comments, thank you.
