  • I talk through a few of the option Sitka has available for the waterfowler. This is how I intend to layer myself soft teal-later goose and duck season here in New York. It gets bitter cold and I really think this is the most effective layer system you can buy. Check out the websites below to get discounted gear but act fast when they come on sale to get your size.

    You're the first person I've seen a layer setup for NY waterfowl and I'm new as of last year to waterfowl and like hunting in the timbers as well. I appreciate you showing a set up so I can configure one, thank you.

      I hope it can help you pick out your pieces. The only thing I would say is a no-brainer our the Pirma loft bibs in Delta waders everything else is mix-and-match

    I’m curious, do you hunt flooded timber? I got a marsh Hudson jacket two seasons ago that’s great but I can’t help but feel that the timber is more versatile?
    I hunt the Chesapeake bay salt flats and have started hunting some swamps and I’m curious to know how that pattern works for you all up in NY.
    Great video!

    • @Craft518

      I will tell you this we often hunt of shore and in the timber. Wouldn’t call it flooded Timber but absolutely standing in water amongst trees and cattails. I love it because everything here is dark. Lay down blinds close up so it’s inconsequential why color you were IMO. I am thinking about getting a Marsh layer like a Traverse pant and wader jacket for panel hunting in the fields that I’ve been doing recently.

    How well do the waders paired up with the gradient bibs keep you warm late season?

    • @Craft518
      @Craft518  Před 2 lety

      Liked both options for under layer and honestly couldn’t tell a difference at 30°. Once it dropped below that you could tell the permaloft bibs did have an extra warmth and glad I had the option for super cold weather.

  • @Ryder0890
    @Ryder0890 Před 2 lety

    Curious as to why the 2 insulation pieces? (gradient and DO) kinda defeats the purpose of the 2..

    • @Craft518
      @Craft518  Před 2 lety +1

      I don’t use them at the same time. It’s just to show all the options. I use the DO as a daily jacket and really don’t use it to hunt. I have the Hudson for late season and is the wafer jacket early season

    • @Craft518
      @Craft518  Před 3 lety

      If I’m honest I feel a bit “Christmas Story” if I put everything on. They layers you really need though fit perfect if you’re not comically putting all your gear on. Base, heavy and outer layer...No problem!

      Went with the large and size 11 boot. I can fit the duck over under it with a bit of tightness in the chest but not enough to be uncomfortable. It’s actually perfect. I also opted to get her Hudson jacket as well for all year use and the duck oven is just an everyday jacket bow

  • @TJQuirk
    @TJQuirk Před 2 lety

    That gradient under the D.O. looks bulky. I go with a core lightweight, grinder (buy one, you'll love it), duck oven, then a Hudson jacket for extreme cold and replace the D.O. with the gradient hoody for mid 30s+. You should bulk up on base layers, not mid layers.
