Thanks so much for all the advice.

I’ve picked up quit a few nice layer options that are earth tones. Out gear is much cheaper than hunting gear as mentioned.

I can also use it in my everyday life which is awesome.

I would love to find some camo or otherwise bibs that are insulated.

Preferably that don’t weigh a ton and can be packed into my stand and put on once I get cold.

Does such a thing exist?

I love a bib for the warmth of sitting. And fleece for being quiet. But hunting bibs cost a fortune and carhartts are heavy as piss.

I come from a lightweight backpacking background so I’d love to stay light.

I haven’t found a bib from a non-hunting company with the features I want. The FL Solitude bibs roll up decently well for what they are and the full length side zips makes it easier to put them on while set up. I also like the uncompahgre pants when packability is important. They’re not silent but quiet enough for me since I don’t make much noise with my legs in the tree. If you’re patient and monitor the various buy sell trades and classifieds, you can find a deal on like new or gently used sets.

Look at getting a leafy suit for archery and layer in regular cloths added when funds allow, really in riffle season and muzzleloader camo isnt nessicy at all.
