Any one used First lite Fusion pattern during hunting season? Pros or Cons much appreciated

Haven't used that specific pattern but as far as elk hunting clothes go the fabric integrity is far more important to withstand the elements over your camo pattern.

Agree Elknut1!!
What product do you like that withholds its integrity the best?

Dont know which product youre buying but the kanab pants arent exactly bulletproof. Tore a small hole in mine quite easily climbing over a fallen tree. Hole has stayed small after repeated washings though, and despite their relative delicate nature i really like them and ordered a second pair. Plan on getting a third pair too so i have one in camo. And i think the sizes might run a little big. So if youre kind of right in the middle on their sizing chart i would suggest going with the smaller.

Not sure if there really is a "Best" but there are several companies that have very adequate products! I've been wearing Core4 gear for the last several years, it's done well & is very affordable. Lately I've been slowly creeping over to Sitka gear, I have several items for top outer layering but no bottoms because I haven't found anything better for Sept hunts than the Core4 Higline pants. If in later Sept it cools down I then use the Core4 Element pants, that combo does very well. I wear a merino wool base layer top but for bottoms I wear cotton longjohns under both both no matter the temps! I have several pair of merino wool longjohn style under layer but never seem to wear them even in the wettest weather, I like the cotton ones much better!--- Some won't agree with this but it's because they read somewhere it's not that good to do it but most likely they've not tried it for any length of time!

Dr. no I didn't know that, thank you for the heads up! By the way camofire is a great place to find great deals on various brands of camo gear! It's where I purchase most of mine!
