So last year I purchased Scentlok's early season camos and it was still pretty heavy. I am looking for the lightest camo out there. I was looking at Kuiu, but wanted to poll the members before making any purchases. Thanks in advance.

There are lots of light weight pants out there. I forget the name but I've got some First Lite pants I wear when it's hot. Or, shorts under leafy pants works great too. My goto top is the Sitka core lightweight hoody but again, a mesh leafy top could serve you best.

Kryptek pants are pretty light, I wear jeans just about year round so as long as the pants aren’t insulated doesn’t really bother me, the top is what I keep super light and breathable.

I'm trying out Origin's NYLOC™ FIELD PANT, go with the long in the crotch, and a matching TETRALOC™ LYTE CREW LS. Either way it's ball's hot in October!

I have no idea what you're saying or if that's some type cajun creole that I'll never understand but I grew up in South Florida hunting swamps for 20+ years where it's balls hot in December at night.

Nevermind thought you might have been someone from my hometown with a high fence operation I've been to.
No worries!

Florida camo is some of, if not the best warm weather hunting clothing available and the hammock pattern will match any terrain in the south east US from Louisiana all the way to NC or possibly even Virginia. I was talking to the owner the other day and he said guys from Washington/Oregon state are starting to order from him as well because they told him their woods stay green pretty much year around and they really like his pattern. Those customers in the North west are why he started making the fleece lined cold weather clothing.FL CAMO - Florida Camo and The Southeast’s Premier Hunting Camo

The high pine is an amazing elevated pattern and the SNS shirts work well in warm weather but I’m not a fan of their pants. There are some possible changes in the works for the high pine camo for next year though. And if those changes do happen, I will wear that camo every time I hunt in a tree no matter where I am…
I will edit this to say I owned the scent lok early season and I am not at all a fan. I have some Redhead stuff and I also have the early season and transverse stuff from sitka. They are comfortable and light but they don’t touch FL Camo when it comes to lightweight comfort and breathable. No one is gonna design a better warm weather clothing, than a group of guys that hunt Mid August in South Florida with temps in the 100’s and a humidity factor of greater than 90%.

Sitka Traverse pant is probably the lightest and most comfortable pant I ever had. I just got a pair recently, coming from only ever wearing my Army issued pant to hunt...I get it now, there is a big difference.
I wear the wrangler pants and dri fit type shirts and the fla camo and the high pines material are both more lightweight and breathable than what I got....Its like mesh kinda. It's really lightweight for sure...I've never bought it cause I'm a cheapskate and I worry that it isn't the most durable. Id rather rip up cheap clothes and replace every couple seasons vs get upset I tore up something expensive

I use the Corrugate guide pants and one of their foundry series pants from first lite and a light weight merino wool base layer sometimes for hunting here in LA especially early season. First lite for me is definitely a buy once cry once purchase. The pants I have are the best I’ve used and are alot more rugged and breathable than they feel. Also the pants with the side zips to really open up your legs are money too. Note too the foundry series tend to be a tough built pant reinforced knees and what not and can be alittle louder for some people.
My main focus with clothes purchases is how fast it'll dry off. I'm getting soaked in sweat no matter what and early season u can bet on an afternoon rain event pretty much everyday. If I had the means I would go with the fla camo. I can tell by handling it it's gonna dry off real quick.
The wranglers pants are good for the money....u can get 10 pairs for the price of 1 of some of the cool kid camo brands They last a couple seasons walking thru the palmettos so they are fairly durable and they dry off pretty fast. I also wear some of those zip off ripstop type "river" pants. They are kinda noisy but once up in the tree I make them into shorts
For shirts the drifit/fishing shirts u can find camo patterns. I like the 1s that have face gaiter and hood built into them and if they have thumbhole cut outs, even better. Last year sportsman's guide house brand had a shirt like that in bottomland for cheap and I got 4 or 5 shirts....but I also wear the regular old Hanes quickdry shirts solid colors. Blue, gray, white... Color don't seem to matter if u climb into cover.i do wish the material didn't have the sheen/shine to it.
I bought a natural gear quickdry shirt and it was horrible....it absorbs sweat and doesn't breath well at all. I was surprised cause it's like a mesh type material kinda like flacamo.
Liner sock and good wool sock. Thin merino wool socks can be found pretty fair pricing if u look at military surplus. And pack in Crocs or flip flops.....
this tip kinda silly with a little back story....I was scouting preseason and found a fan...like a fan u would associate with victorian era women...folds flat and opens up into a 3rd of a circle with frilly lace and festive colors and u fan yourself......yeah I take that with me hunting hahahahHa
Like this but mine is pinks and reds...laugh it up.. but that thing is great when it's balls hot

I've heard bamboo undies are the way to go there but I haven't tried...quickdri Hanes dry fast but they sure get stinky
The easiest/cheapest way to go I think shorts and a wifebeater and something like an asat suit....I think that like 150$ and that's all u need.
Admit it....if dano sold those in bottomland or asat u would buy 1
If that buck got ya pegged....wave the EWO fan, then that old buck thinks that's a squirrel tail wagging and calms right back down.. every, single, time
