Default Best Camo brand for big game hunting

Looking for comments on the best brand / product for big game hunting for all seasons. Was told Sitka is worth the money.

There is no “best” brand. High quality gear will make you more comfortable and keep you in the field longer and on days when others are all hiding in the truck. Brands like Kuiu and Sitka make it easy to put together the pieces you need all in one spot. It is also very possible to do the same with more mainstream outdoor or mountaineering brands. This all depends on your hunting style as well, some are better served with more traditional wool and flannel.

Very happy with what I own from kuiu. Website makes sizing easy and bought at the right time the pricing is reasonable.

Non camo versions of same products are great.

Match your clothing selections to your style of hunting. You dont need to spend 2-3k on a light low volume back country set up vs being comfortable in a 500$ setup if your just doing day long truck hunts. I’ve used kuiu Sitka first light under armour cabelas basspro and a few other brands they all work none is the best in every single scenario.

I probably get laughed at for wearing a mix of Kuiu, Sitka (different patterns), and some realtree and mossy oak. I'm too cheap to spend 1K on matching pants and jacket. Pretty sure I've never missed out on filling a tag because my camo didn't match. Get what's comfortable and you can afford.

Comfort is more important. Used to wear blaze orange and was just as successful as in camo. If you move the game will see you regardless.

I did the same. I bought full set of hunting gear(mostly for mountains) with this two brands for less than a half price on sales. I love my Sitka-Kuiu gear for comfort and longevity and I don't really care about matching camo pattern.

The best camo pattern is the one you have the least faith in.

Well Said... lol

Never believed in Camo until one day etc. It was either the Camo or the animal was a huge dummy which is unlikely. If they can't see you or smell you it don't much matter but just in case theres' this stuff. Killing coyotes at 40°C feels like wearing nothing. Todays technology can certainly make it a lot more comfortable whichever brand you choose.



Cheers

Best camo/clothing brand for hunting?

The one that allows you to comfortably stay still when you need to, and remains quiet when moving. Doesn’t snag on branches and scrape noisily through brush. Keeps you dry when you need, and wicks moisture while sweating. Also doesn’t smell to high heck when it has been sweated in.

Brand and color/pattern have little to do with success. Smart layering and quality fabrics have much more bearing.

I have used Sitka and Kuiu, but find myself moving toward Icebreaker, Arcteryx, OR, and (gulp) Eddie Bauer. Not a lot of camo offerings from those companies.

I wear all white when it is snowy.
Grey if the tree I am in is grey.
Black if inside a black ground blind.
Other than that anything warm.
