Features you don’t find valuable

Maybe it’s not done right, not worth the cost, doesn’t perform as advertised or causes some other annoyance.

The insane amount of pockets on all the jackets, pants and every layer. It's insane to me. When I'm hunting I've got a bino harness on with a new pockets, my pack & std front pockets on my pants, I just don't know what everyone is putting in the arm or chest pockets that NEEDS to be there. Please cut the cost off these pieces and let us save that money.

Back pockets on pants.

Bibs that don't have a two-way zipper.

Arm and chest pockets. Who is putting what in those?

I'd like for a company like kuiu to copy prana with an included lightweight "belt" but one that actually holds all day. Maybe even have material with holes like their Gaiters. That'd be a win. No need for hunting pants to have an additional belt

You haven't heard of Kifaru's new pocket protector?

How about overprice? I guess I agree that all the extra bell ans whistles add cost that I don’t need.

I'd like to add specialized pockets to the list, ala Sitka's whitetail clothing. Really, any gimmicky bs along those lines. Also, any "wind stopper" treatment or fabric that isn't Gore-Tex.

I voted as a hunter. If it were skiing or snowboarding I’d have a much different opinion.

 

[sodaksooner]

cargo pockets on pants are totally useless to me. Same with sleeve pockets, and drawstrings on hoodies. I do like the built in belt on my pranas. That is a system everyone should copy.

Most annoying “feature” I’ve found is the two way zipper on the crotch of my Sitka mtn pants. Always look like my zipper is down.

Actually the 1 thing I do like about Sitka pants…..if wearing a harness. Otherwise I agree.

Arm pockets are #1 for me. Chest pockets are a close 2nd. I can’t recall using either and I have many pieces with them. I guess I’d use the chest pocket before the arm pocket. But I’d get rid of all of them.

Less popular opinion, I can’t stand thumb holes. Makes the sleeves longer and my arms are already T. rex as it is. I do like the small elastic thumb strip like on the Sitka core lightweight hoody to keep the sleeves in place when layering. I wish more companies would do it that way.

I hate arm pockets, followed by chest pockets. Third is knee pads, but that an easy fix, don’t buy pants with those.

camo.
wish I could change all mine to earth tones.

 

[Ralphie]

I like one chest pocket on my left side in a mid layer for my phone when it’s really cold. If my phone isn’t close to my body heat the battery goes real fast.

I ran out of options in poll but neck gaiters. They are a good thing to have but damn they’re going for near $50 after tax and shipping for something that is likely scrap material quickly sewn into a tube. I’ll stay with a generic option.

Definitely and I hope everyone else did too. I have some stark contrast in my thinking depending on what I’m doing.

I love the chest pocket on my button-up collared Microtex Lite shirts. That's where I keep my rangefinder with the strap around my neck. Best and most convenient place I've found for it. Also love the cargo pockets on my pants. Between extra elk calls, wind checker, GPS, and my watch, I use them......frequently. I rarely have to get into my pack.

 

[bozeman]

Arm pockets......urgh.....

 

[Corvus Corax]

The tiny arm pockets on kuiu stuff are pretty useless. However I don’t mind a chest pocket.
