BumpI'd like to hear about that as well.
So I am either going to buy the Stratus pants or Fanatic Lite bibs for this season, and I have a few questions for you guys. Do you feel bibs work better with the being in a saddle because of not having to worry about having to put your saddle over your belt line and being uncomfortable? I was also thinking the bibs would be easier to carry to stand and put on without taking my boots off first since the legs zip open. Is there anyone with experience with the bibs that can share how they like them?
LEO outdoors has discounts, but other than that, its pretty hard to get new sitka at a discount. I tend to try the stuff on at the store and then tirelessly watch the classifieds in rokslide and Archerytalk. i can usually find like new used stuff at 40-50% off and since I have already tried it on at the store, I know what sizes i need.
I already have the fanatic heavy set and I figured it would be my under 35-degree set. I am looking for mid season around 40's and 50 degree days. I have a fanatic hoodie and vest and thought the lite bibs would work well with them. I tried on the stratus today and I think I would sweat way too much to wear to stand but love the idea of the Windstopper.What temp ranges will you mostly be in? Stratus will be the most versatile. I use my Stratus pants for just about everything except the hot early season. The Fanatic Lite is nice but without the windstopper it doesn't do as well in cold weather.

How does the fanatic lite compare to the stratus? I have the fanatic heavy and the stratus. Is the light somewhere in between?

Sitka clothing;
Is it really worth the $$$...?
As I get older its harder to keep warm on extended sits during bitter cold .....also with age and many thousands of dollars worth of "this will keep you warm" statements....I also become skeptical.
So I'm asking members hear thier opinions on the fanatic jacket and bibs...
So I have been using the Sitka equinox line this early season. I will say for it being described as a light line of clothing it is still pretty warm. I was thinking of trying some of the ascent line of gear and colors still should work well (i should say pattern). I will say that I have logged 33 hrs to date and have not washed these. I have been sweating like a pig but that have no BO type oder at all they go off and back in an air tight container. I have not spooked any game with these more or less just need a better clear shot for success but overall the clothing has exceeded my expectations and is durable.
