I have the solitude and love the set up of the pockets. I love having the pouch that sits up top on my chest and pockets on the front of the legs. Those come in handy in a tree stand!! But I'm finding out wind is not my friend. I was in a stand this weekend. 41 degrees and 15-20 mph winds. Was fine for a couple hours but started coming through. I had the furnace base layers on bottom coupled with some UA pants and bibs. Top was kiln, furnace, solitude jacket. I felt the wind in my legs and was kinda surprised. I know that's a good bit of wind and completely exposed.
So I'm wondering should I go for the sanctuary? I don't like how it doesn't appear to have the same pockets and sits lower on chest. Can anyone confirm? Which kinda led me to the fanatic but I have nothing else from Sitka. I thought about getting just some pants to break the wind but for the price of pants I could sell the solitude and get the sanctuary bibs or add some and get the fanatic.
