I had the waist button on Kuiu guide pants separate after easy use. They tried to charge me to repair it. Only after raising hell, they sent me a prepaid label.
After much thought and research, I bought the Kuiu guide pants last November. Wore them a handful of times- easy use. No hard hunting. Waist button broke loose behind the belt- as I was headed out of the house for a turkey hunt this year. I’m a skinny guy so I wasn’t even pushing the waistband...
Heard gobbling from the truck, 35-40 minutes before first light. After listening to this Tom hammering all morning and then watching him put on a strut show, this dude came running to my dekes at 7:15am.

The Sitka Fanatic glove has been my goto glove for when the temps drop. Exposed index fingertip and thumb, great dexterity. Might not be as weather repellant as what you’re looking for. I haven’t tried them in the rain yet.
I purchased a vortex crossfire as a replacement for my old Bushnell that gave up the ghost. I’m very happy with the crossfire’s red display- coming from a black LED display that washed out in dark backgrounds. Even used it in rifle- ranging whitetail no problem.
