Worth it in your opinion for sitting in a ground blind or spot stalking Colorado/Wyoming? Should I bite the bullet with the big sale going on or look at some comparable product?

Sitting in a blind and staying warm and spot and stalking and staying warm requires 2 total different kinds of gear. I’ve got kuiu and Sitka for on the move hunts. And then Sitka incinerator for cold blind hunting. That lightweight mountain stuff keeps heat in but you gotta move to build the heat.

I ordered the uncompahgre a while back and returned it for the sanctuary set. The uncompahgre would be better for out west when your layering for walking but for sitting in a blind look else where. It's just not gonna keep you as warm and also isn't quite as tough material. The sanctuary stuff is awesome! I've set all day below freezing with just that and a pair of thermals. Even took it to Wyoming.

Agreed-Not for tree stand sitting due to noise. I use mine for when sitting down to glass an area but wouldn’t ever hike in it. It also doubles very nicely as a pillow for backpack hunts. Check out the Catalyst soft shell; might be more appropriate and is quiet enough to wear in a tree. Haven’t tested out the sanctuary yet but certainly want to.

Sanctuary can’t be beat. Without a doubt. And it’s amazing how quiet it is.

I've heard nothing but good about it for insulation properties, but a lot about how noisy it is...
I have the Kuiu equivalent the Kenai and its pretty dang quiet, it's one of my favorite pieces of gear
The Sanctuary gear is nice, I have a prototype pair of the pants and I like them a lot. Almost as tough as Sitka Timberlines but much quieter
