I have been putting lead on target for almost 30 years now through just about every type of weather we experience in Texas. Over the years, base layers have improved in tech and quality from the long johns I grew up romping around in. Gloves have become less bulky and now have scent control. Balaclavas are thin and awesome in windy conditions. I have discovered tons of great warm weather gear but come deer season, I find myself layering up when I'd really just prefer better gear.
I have definitely become a fan of under armors offerings but have yet to spend the big bucks on their jackets and pants. I also like some of the high end browning and scent lock stuff. This year I am committed to upgrading my jacket, pants and gloves. I am good on base layers, socks and boots. Do any of y'all big spenders out there think it's all worth it ? I am a firm believer in the "get what you pay for rule" but I have been burned over some over-hyped items that weren't worth the pricetag. What works best for you guys ? I am open to all brands and price ranges but would like to keep the jacket under a buck fifty and the pants under/around $75.
