yes, you are good to go.

Yep, just make sure you shed layers on the way up the mountain so you don't drench everything in sweat.

 

[Jape]

Looks good to me. Use the layering system and enjoy the puffy jacket while glassing. Life saver.

 

[The Hedgehog]

Nope. That won’t work at all.

If you think you are going to kill anything wearing UA pants over BO boxers you are dreaming.

Jason Hairston offered to sell me some limited edition KUIU boxers knitted from Land Tawney's stolen beard trimmings but I turned him down.


Seriously though, I'm not a fan of UA, but those pants fit great. So far, I'm very impressed with BO merino; time will tell.

I hunt the same area and I got by last year in just Sitka Ascent Pants and Jacket. And then we got a foot of snow on Sept. 14th (?). Then it was Sitka Mountain pants and FL Cirrus Jacket! Your list looks good. I'll keep an eye out for you down there.

The only thing that looks weird to me is using 400g merino for your blaze orange requirement. I'd replace that with a light weight poly mesh but that's just personal preference speaking.

Nice kit. One up on FL gear. My spouse and I wear their product as well. I have a couple base layer items (merino) from Sitka I’ll admit. You should be good on your entire list. Good luck!
