If you can get past the sticker shock of Sitka gear it met every one of my expectations on my sheep hunt last year. I never got wet but there was a day that I never could get warm. It was 13 degrees in the AM and never got over 28 deg. all day. When I got back to the truck at the end of the day I discovered I left the pit zips open all day after opening them for the 3 mile hike in, in the morning. So I guess with considering the pit zips allowing cold air in all day it was not the gears fault I was cold! It is very durable also as most of the time I was sitting on very course and sharp lava type rocks with sharp little points and it held up great. I cannot see any signs of abrasions to the fabric. I would recommend to anyone that has the cash to invest.
