What do y'all prefer between the two?
Over the past 10 years, I have accumulated a ton of Sitka. Currently, I have 95% of the Whitetail line up and 90%-95% of the Waterfowl line up. Since purchasing all of that gear, my time spent in pursuit of either (Whitetail and Waterfowl) has dropped off exponentially. I am to the point of being too deep into training/testing/hunting GSPs. I will still get out here and there to chase Whitetail and Waterfowl. However, the vast majority of my time now is in the upland fields.
Having said that, I am looking at who has the best line up for training/testing and wing shooting. Right now, I believe it is Kuiu. I have yet to purchase a piece from them that I do not like. Their Kutana pants are about the best thing going (except for briars/thorns). I've also tried gear from Orvis (some of which I like but they have gone down the toilet the last 3-4 years) and Bean. For me, in my opinion I think I prefer Kuiu over Sitka. At least when it comes to everyday apparel. I may venture into some Whitetail pieces.
That being said, Sitka will be releasing a line up dedicated to wing shooting within the next year. However, what that will consist of remains to be seen. I will say, the fishing line up looks nice. However, I am dumbfounded that they failed to put hip vents on their newest and lightest pants.
