Another point that should be made... take some time and research that fabrics and materials themselves. What is there intended "mission" ? What are they good at? Once you have a better understanding of what the fabrics are actually doing for you, you can then determine if it's even needed, and you can start shopping the clearances and outlets more for specific materials, it starts to open up a lot more choices. If you are buying a head to toe setup of Kuiu just to sit in a tree stand in the southeast US, then yes, it's not worth it. But if you are going deep in the back country in the mountain west, Alaska, BC, then the materials offered in brands such as Sitka and Kuiu, are well worth the investment.
