Sitka fanatic bibs/jacket

[muzzyhunter]

Thinking about picking up the fanatic set,anyone use this stuff and is it warm enough for late season bowhunting.
I spend my winters in Carhartt extremes and as long as i layer and stay active can work outside in comfort.The carhartts cant compare to my Striker climate suit while sitting on the ice,bad thing is to bulky and noisy to bowhunt in.All clothing seems to serve a purpose and shelling out the bucks for clothing to keep comfortable is fine with me,buy once,cry once.But before I do would like to get some feed back.
Thanks!!

I got the incinerator set because I wanted wind and waterproof. Haven't put it to the real test yet in the cold but it is waterproof. I have heard good things about the fanatic.

I also looked at the incinerator set, also like the idea of waterproof but thought the berber would be quieter.maybe a mix incinerator bibs, with fanatic jacket.But also like the fact incinerator jacket has a hood, really like that to keep wind off back of neck.
Looking at reviews on thier site everyone talks about hunting 20 degrees, I'd like to see what they say down to -10.
I do own a few pieces of thier lighter gear, and the ability to keep the wind out is great, but thats only one part of staying warm in the cold, insulating factor being the other.

I have the fanatic set. Really like it. Be prepared to be hot if you have to hike in them much.

When it's 40 below zero, I don't worry too much about waterproof clothing. I just brush it off.

I bought my girlfriend a new jacket here a little while back and looked at some of that Sitka gear. They sure have a high opinion of it. We went with a Scentlok set and while I've NEVER been a fan of their scent control philosophy, it's a quality setup. I don't remember if it was the Sitka Fanatic or more probably, the one just below it that has that funky damn zipper that starts at your ass cheek. That was actually the deal breaker and sent us to Scentlok.

It probably is a little louder than the fanatic. I got mainly for late season muzzleloader, waterfowl and coyote hunting so sound is not as big of concern for me vs bow hunting

I have both and the fanatic is quieter but not as warm but has the sideways zipper and built in hand muffs in the front, good for not having to wear gloves. The Incinerator set is down filled and I still froze my ass off Thursday night in the snow, treestands seem to suck the heat out of a guy pretty quick, I've been looking at those heater body suits since I'm becoming more of a pussy as I get older.
