I have em all, Kuiu, Sitka, Kryptek, Nat Gear, Kings, FL, Russell...I'm a gear junkie. Budget, versatility and performance matter so you need to tell us a few things about yourself in order to tailor an answer specificcally for you. Are you a bigger guy or do you have a leaner, athletic fit? Are you looking to build a layer system appropriate for a variety of hunts? Do you need rain gear too? What temp ranges will you be hunting? Will you be able to dry out your gear at night or must you completely avoid getting em really wet? Are you big on multiple pockets? Is there a weight limit? How much $ are you prepared to invest?
If you want more input instead of the usual "I like such-n-such brand" from guys trying to justify their own purchases...we must understand your unique wants, needs and preferences. Otherwise you get a bunch of responses from fanboys that may not apply to you. Often a mix and match is the best way to go.
I second this^^^^. You’re build may determine different brands for different pieces. Just put together a layering system that fits you.
Quality isn’t perfect for any brand. None of them are bad. Customer service is the tie breaker.
Don’t worry about the pattern. If one is found on sale buy it then put the savings towards other things.
