I am slowling switching my stuff over to Sitka, I want to buy one cry once and not buy again for awhile. First, I hunt public in Wi with long walks and or canoe in access. A mile is not at all uncommon, sometimes 2 miles. I dont want that to sound like I am bragging or anything like that, I am mentioning it because I will be walking a long ways and I feel like that factors into what I probably need to purchase.
I bought a kelvin lite hoody last year which I LOVE. Its basically a very thin insulation layer that folds up pretty small for carrying in, so I dont think I need an insulation layer for the top, but perhaps the bottom.
I just purchased the timberline pants, which I am hoping will work for early season and mid season.
So, I think my next purchase needs to be a base layer , but I dont know what to get since they have so many. I would like to be able to not sweat profusely on the way in (why I mentioned the long walk before), but I dont want to be changing clothes other than an outside layer if possible. During the rut, my average temps are probably 25-55 degrees, so I would like to be comfy in that range. I would also like to stay as thin (not bulky) as possible and lightweight.
I looked at the fanatic set, but I am thinking it will actually be too warm and might do more harm than good, plus I am sure it will be a burr magnet.
So, what would be some good items to get, to help round out my setup. I am thinking more mid season thru the rut now, because I have a set of lightweight under armour stuff thats pretty light that I can get a few years out of for early season if I need to.
Can anyone help me with this?
