Low Bulk Hunting Clothes

[dh.hamilton1]

I know most people will say Sitka, First Lite and Kuiu but would you consider those to be low bulk when layering up for mid to late season when it’s cold to frigid?

Are there other brands that could be considered low bulk that can be layered well like the above brands?

Especially for saddle or tree stand hunting.

You're looking at this totally wrong. The days of being the "michellin man" are over. Get yourself a heated vest, throw a puffy, or soft jacket over that, and you're done!

Are you concerned about bulk when sitting so you can draw a bow? Or are you concerned with bulk when packing? Both legit concerns, but the answer may be different depending on what your focus is.

Most (all?) of the brands you mentioned make clothing specifically for dedicated tree stand hunting that is made to be very quiet, and super warm when sitting all day. They also make western hunting gear that is focused more on light weight and packability, than it is on quiet fabrics or low profile when wearing it, and may be bulkier when wearing (ie a heavier down puffy). Pick your poison, quiet, and Uber-warm for sitting all day, or lightweight and packable, which may not have the quiet face fabrics and may be a little bulky or when wearing big puffy pants and jacket, but will weigh half as much and pack a heck of a lot smaller.
I’m not aware of much that combines the two for frigid wx.

Mix and match to find what you like. For later season i like an asbell pathfinder to go over everything

Pnuma has some good heated clothes.
