Who would it be and why? Kuiu, Sitka, skree, first lite, etc

Sitka. But only when I find it on sale. I’ve had first lite, Kuiu and now Sitka gear. Sitka seems to hold up the best, best weight to warmth ratio and the best warranty. Just my opinion.
 
Why would you want to stick with one brand? No way I would limit myself like that.

me neither. i look for fit and function first, camo pattern is just about irrelevant. all my stuff is different brands and camo but everything fits and works perfectly for me. If I had to do it all over again, I'd run solids in what I have and an asat leafy suite jacket over the top.
 
I've come to appreciate the technical aspects and performance of my clothes more than any pattern. Id shop around for peices to fit your specific needs. There are outdoor sporting companies that have been using performance fabrics far longer than alot of the hunting brands. That said I have been impressed with all of my FL, sitka and kuiu pieces. My most used layers however are the black ovis 230 hoody and the wrangler nylon pants. Too many options to come to a hypothetical answer.
 
The answer would have to be based on the type of hunting it's used for, including things like species hunted, climatic expectations, individual build and so on.

And the whole question of "if you had to choose one" is simply rhetorical and not at all realistic.
 
The pattern is the last thing I look at when choosing clothing when hunting. My seasons are generally in early spring, late fall, or early winter so I am looking for something that will keep me warm without being to bulky. I want clothing that fits me and is also a good value. (I did not say cheap either) The last last thing I look at is pattern. I "my" situation I look for something that has a lot of brown tones to it. To stick to one manufacture with so many different choices out there is just limiting yourself leaving a lot of good clothing on the rack. But then again that is what the manufactures want is to convince you that their product is the only one that will make you successful.
 
I’ve been using First Lite and have been impressed with most of the items but durability could be better. This year I plan on running Pnuma.
 
I mix and match and think you could be very well appointed in any of the top brands but Sitka has you covered for big game plus water fowl to white tails.

Also, I do find their designs to be a touch more sophisticated than the FL and Kuiu designs I own. Just well thought out and well executed. They charge a fair bit though so you pay for it.
 
Hunters look cuter in Sitka. Better profile pics, selfies, etc...

Clothing brand or camo pattern? I don't stick to just one of either, but note that some brands offer multiple patterns, and some patterns are offered by multiple clothing companies. Like multicam, Crye doesn't make much clothing for the hunting market, but plenty of other outdoor companies license the pattern and make their clothing with it.

With that said, I prefer a mix of solids. I don't like looking like I'm at work when I'm trying to enjoy myself. And I think it helps minimize the looks I get at gas stations or stores I might stop at before or after hunting. Not that I care what people think, but why draw more attention than necessary.

Solids also blend just fine if you use surrounding veg or terrain to your advantage. And I don't have to worry about the pattern or brand matching. A green jacket from Outdoor research, looks fine with mud brown pants from Prana. No matching or mismatching concerns. Just a cleaner neater appearance that is still very functional in the field.
IF I wear camo, I still don't worry about if it matches.
