i feel for the price of stoney creek the quality is average. ridgeline is the same possibly worse. If you want a hunting 'brand' jacket then the swazi would be the only choice. otherwise look at macpac etc.
i only wear shorts for hunting when its cold then just put long johns underneath. i have some of those microtough trousers that get raved about but frankly i think their shit, horrible to wear if you are brushing through wet foliage and i find they bind around my knees when climbing. the adjustable waist belt/belt is crap you would be better off wearing a proper leather ( or other) belt. definetly not worth the 150$ or so. stoney creek definetly have a long way to go in terms of the way a piece of clothing actually fits when being used.
have bought some sitka gear recently and thats the only gear i will be buying from now on . you dont need hunting brand gear to do the job, its more important to be comfortable warm and safe than really worried about spooking a deer because you should have had tussock camo on instead of bush camo
