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