First Lite Camo | How to Build a Layering System

Merino wool has been around for a while, and if you pay attention to hunting gear (which you probably do since you’ve found yourself on this site), you know that people are singing its praises. First Lite in particular has built quite a name for themselves as the finest merino in the business. But, is it really worth the cost? Should a hunter really head into the field with camouflage that costs more than the rest of their every day wardrobe? Is this sort of high-tech hunting gear truly necessary to find success in the field?

Quality gear won’t make animals walk out and surrender to you like the French in WWII, but it can mean the difference between staying out another day, riding out a rainstorm so you can hunt those magical moments after it passes, or heading back to the truck early because you’re just too cold, wet, and miserable to keep going. More time in the field = more opportunities with animals = greater chance of success…it’s math. So, I bit the bullet and finally invested in a full set of legit, top of the line hunting gear from First Lite. I spent six days straight in these clothes, putting in about 40 miles and more elevation gain/descent than I even want to think about. So, the big question: IS FIRST LITE CLOTHING WORTH THE MONEY???
