[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2893161, member: 97050"] No. You don’t “need” it. Then again, the people who like to say our grand and great grand fathers did it in flannels and jeans are a poor example too. There’s two aspects, the camo and the hiking. The camo is easily addressed. You want something to break up your outline, but the color doesn’t matter much. The hiking is where things get different. Yes you want synthetics or merino. You want to avoid cotton. These are hiking basics. Most who are serious hikers don’t like brings the couch and the kitchen sink, being smart with your layering system can make you comfortable for the various conditions you’ll find on the mountain, while reducing the amount of things you need to put in your pack, and ultimately your total base weight. Generally speaking of course. As far as Sitka specifically; it’s not my thing. I think they are overpriced for being Chinese products, but they DO work and work they do for many. It’s easy to find issue with all the brands in someway or another. The pros are the availability, and the diversity of their line up. They do have a ton of layering, models, patterns, puffy’s, grid fleece, whatever. [/QUOTE]
