Gradient vs Dakota vs Traverse

[MTriplett]

Can somebody let me in on the difference (if there is any) in these 3 pieces?

Pretty sure the Dakota are warmer than the other two. It’s my favorite pants I wear all the time from bird hunting to deer hunting to ice fishing out here.

Same for the hoodies?

I've only owned the gradients. Which i love for deer hunting. There made for waterfowl with the foot stirrups to fit into your waders and not pull up. It works great with rubber boots or even leathers they are just tucked in. There very form fitting and have a tapered leg. There a heavy fleece lined sweat pant. Just soft and comfy all around. Great mid layer.
Looks the the Dakota is more of an actual fleece lined pant with more of a stiffer tougher outer material. More of an everyday wear pant or bird hunting and such.
Traverse seems pretty lightweight. Dont know much about them though.
Id say the gradients would be the warmest and a mid layer. And Dakotas would be a great outer wear fleece lined everyday pant. Traverse just a lightweight thin warmer weather everyday pant. Hope this helps. Check out YouTube for reviews. Seems to be the best way without seeing them in person.

Not what u listed but I have the traverse cold weather hoody. Very warm, great mid layer or outer layer when it’s not bitter cold. They are discontinued but u can still find em. I like it so much I bought a second one in solid green for wearing to kids sports when it’s cold out.

Dakota has windstopper material. Not sure about the other two. I have 2 Dakota hoodies and love them for Midwest duck, turkey and deer hunting.
And for walking the dogs currently in south Florida.
I don’t think they make the Dakota hoodie anymore. I’d buy one if you don’t have one. I freaking love it.

I got a pair of Dakota pants, used them mid to late fall bow hunting, and spring turkey in Wisconsin with no complaints. Kept the wind off of me and seemed to hold up pretty good going through some brush. Not too heavy that you instantly sweat when walking to the stand.

Not much difference at all between gradient and traverse, pretty much same thing. Dakota has windstopper and will be a little more noisy, tougher outer fabric. The gradient and traverse would be an amazing pant/jacket combo if they had windstopper.

Sitka has changed names but many of the products remain virtually the same. I am almost 100 percent Sitka for waterfowl, so here goes.
The grinder series are the equivalent to the traverse series in the big game lineup- so much so that the traverse line now has the waterfowl colors in it. Think early season breathable, 4 way stretch or mid layers.
Gradient are Berber lined soft shell material. The my gradient pullover is similar material to the traverse cold weather hoodie. I think of my pullover with half zipp as bomb proof sweatshirts.
And the Dakota series are lined with windstopper. We have the original dakota , the newer ones are still lined with winds topper but aren’t as stiff as the original. Great when you need a windproof shell, and the older version we have can handle a pretty good rain, but I doubt the new version can handle as the original,
