For the last year or so I have been wearing the LL Bean Big Game System. There are different weight liners for each season. So far I am very happy. It wasn't cheap, but you do get the LL Bean customer service with it. If there is ever a problem they stand behind it.
The more I read and the more experience I get the less fussed I am about brands or patterns. I'm more concerned with warmth, breathability, and waterproofing as well as the ability to withstand briars.
I'm currently looking to replace my camo with Cabela's MT050 Whitetail Exteme or their 7-in-1 parka. Basically it comes down to the fact that they seem like good values when weighing out the other factors I listed above based on other people's experiences. I frankly don't care what brand it is but the positive reviews and checking the boxes on my requirements are key.

I have scentblocker Spider Outfitter Pants as well as the outfitter jacket with trinity. When leaves are still on the tree.
I then add ASAT 3-D Camo over it when the trees are almost bare to bare. It breaks you up very well.
I wish they made ASAT Camo with carbon or scentblocker used the ASAT pattern which I believe is better than Realtree extra and Mossyoak Breakup infinity, although of the 2 I like breakup infinity better than realtree extra.

I've always been partial to Mossy Oak, although I have some real tree as well. I usually buy Cabelas brand. I dig sneaky leaf a lot, during early bow and spring turkey. I too wear Filson condoms, but only when I bird hunt lol. there's no substitute!
Camo pattern is nowhere near as important as fit, cut and comfort. Staying still and playing the wind is real camoflouge. I get my balls busted for wearing Kuiu, but not only is it the toughest, most comfortable and best fitting camo I own it also breaks up well in most environments. Scientists believe deer are colorblind, therefore breaking up your outline is what counts should a deer stare your way.
For warmth, there's nothing like wool. Too bad man was last seen on 206 North in Bedminster.

In the blind, I wear all black hat and face mask (orange vest) and against the black backdrop, I can move my head around and deer 20 yards away don't see it. Real Big Tree Max underwears.
I've been skiing and hunting and fishing so long that I have several layers to choose from. All must wick moisture and beyond that, I don't worry about brands too much. Most use the same fabric manufacturers like DuPont anyway. As for camo pattern, that is 100% marketing when it comes to deer. The old Woolrich black and red plaid still fools deer to this day, but buy what fits you and works best. I just layer up or down as needed.
That said, some of the best long johns I've ever owned were made by Patagonia, but I got them at cost and not at retail. I would never pay retail for brands like those. I have matching top and bottom Polar Fleece by Patagonia for my third under layer when it's very cold out. For my outer wear for deer in a stand, I have a bib overall set with a jacket in a jacket by Cabelas that has been terrific. Again, I can zip out one of the jackets if I don't need that extra warmth. The Cabelas are Real Tree, but any camo will fool a deer.

I have always just layered anything in my closet, but now that I have found that buying the right stuff really makes your hunting experience the most comfortable it can be.
I have been using Sitka in Optifade Forest. Best stuff I've ever tried.
I found the Cabelas brand to be the best for the money.
But I do love the Sitka gear! Expensive...but awesome.
