Hi everyone,I’m putting together a versatile hunting setup for early fall through late-season hunts in varying terrain.Looking for advice on base layers, mid-layer insulation, quiet/durable outer shells, and must-have accessories like gloves or gaiters.Open to any brand (Sitka,Kuiu,First Lite,Kryptek) or good budget options.Thanks for any field-tested recommendations!
 
Pants
Hot- born primitive lite pants
Do all- Kuiu attack
Cold- Sitka timberline

Base layer
Synthetic Sitka
Merino first lite
Or just a poly cotton t shirt

Mids
Hot to cool- Sitka core lightweight
Active insulation- kuiu kenai
Cool to cold - a light/medium fleece quarter zip or just a poly sweatshirt. I’ve been wearing a UA cold gear sweatshirt in realtree for like 8-9yrs now and I’ve killed so much shit in it from sept to December. Don’t over think this stuff.


Insulation
Stone glacier Grumman or kifaru LPP
I’m a synthetic puffy pant kinda guy so FL puffy pants or beyond clothing. iMo I want them synthetic bc I’m going to walk through snow or wet sage or grass or sit in snow and I want them tough and fast to dry.

Rain
Pick a three layer jacket and pants if you’re only going to own 1 set. I run kuiu but I mean if it’s kuiu, goretex or e-vent I don’t think you can go wrong.

Acc
A light wind layer like a stone glacier dehavilland is nice to layer over the active insulation or my mids depending on temp and activity.

Outdoor research croc gaiters

Gloves and beanies is a wild world look to brands like outdoor research. Get a pair of mits, insulated gloves, that are water proof. Then grab some mechanical type gloves for cool days or the milsurp merino liners are good to. a minus 33 merino beanie in earth tone and orange. Best beanies made

Everything I mention is stuff I’ve used and replaced with the same thing or I haven’t found a reason to replace it bc it works. I’ve tried a lot of gear in the past 9-10yrs and it takes me from spring bear to summer scouting to cow hunts in December.
