I’m gearing up for a 7 day whitetail drop camp in the Upper-Midwest this October. I’d like to retire my hodgepodge of Realtree camo and put together a decent clothing system.
My first concern is obviously performance. The average temperature for this hunt will be 30°-50°. I’ll be packing ~6 miles into base camp and from there I’ll spend most of my time in a saddle. the area is known for gusty winds.
My second concern is patterns. I think Sitka offers the best selection of garments, however I’m worried the Elevated II pattern is too light for October foliage, and Timber is too dark for whitetail in general.
First Lite Spectre is just about perfect but they have a very limited selection of garments. First Lite Fusion seems to strike a nice balance off whitetail options, but I’m worried about their reputation for lack of wind protection.
I realize this is a unicorn, but I’m looking for a system that’s light and breathable to pack in, yet capable of sitting static in 30° weather with wind…Extra points for scent control.
