Sitka Ascent for Turkey hunt AND Elk hunt in Colorado?

First post to the forum!
I am a new hunter and am gearing up for my first turkey hunt this spring. I live in Colorado and also hunt elk (fist time was last year) in the fall.
I am looking to buy some gear for my spring turkey hunt (camo outer layers) and have been interested in the Ascent line by Sitka. BUT I am looking to kill two birds with one stone and have my turkey gear be suitable for fall elk (and turkey) hunting. Do folks here think that the Ascent pants will be able to hold up to the weather in the Colorado Rockies come October? Any other suggestions? I don't really have the funds to have a spring turkey set up and a fall elk/turkey set up. I have great base layer clothes for my fall hunts... just need a hunting outer layer/shell.
On my first elk hunt last November I used my backpacking gear which was great but my hunting buddy pointed out that come harvesting an animal you don't want to use the same clothes that you backpack with.
Any advice is appreciated.
