Sitka gear

[at1010]

For those of you that know me, you probably see I am not “up to date” on the latest trends in the industry. Most of my clothes and gear are older - not that I can’t get newer stuff, it’s just been tried and true for me.

Anyway - over the last few years mom and dad buy me Sitka clothing. One item, each birthday or Christmas.

I am no fan boy - and not sure how they even heard of Sitka other than mom is pretty good on a computer and I suspect she googled it up.

long story short - I hate the camo pattern (not sold that even matters). But boy do I love the quality and warmth of the clothing. I hunted tonight in wind, rain,snow and I was toasty warm.

Didn’t even think about getting cold. Idk if I’d ever buy it for myself but after trying it a couple years. Damn. I am sold!!

ok. Hope this helps someone who is looking for an honest review.

I have two Sitka pieces. They get a lot of use.

It isn't just that brand. A few companies have really stepped up and are making quality clothing and gear now. It is great when you can be comfortable while doing what you love.

Maybe for deer hunting ,no way I can justify there waterfowl clothes as little as I go out , at least they don’t have small game hunting clothes …yet

Hi, my name is Jim and I own an unhealthy amount of Sitka.

i got one of their hoodies this year. It is warm as hell and really comfortable. I have their winter jacket - it has like a cross zipper, not sure which one it is. It’s the warmest sob jacket.

with a electronic heated vest and that jacket - I think I could hunt with minimal layers in teen temps.

I have heard this! I still love some of the old school Cabelas base layers I have. They were great. Probably 16 years old!

I also own “some” Sitka gear. I usually use it for late season/ cold weather hunting. It has not let me down even when it’s single digits outside. Expensive…. Yes …but worth it IMO.

Good quality gear is worth every penny in my opinion. I made the switch to FirstLite 5ish years ago and do not regret it whatsoever.

I'm a full on First Lite fan boi now and am very pleased with the latest editions of the Solitude bibs and jacket. I couldn't bring myself to spend the extra $ after some early success with First Lite and feeling they make something that's "good enough". That said, the Sitka Fantic system is the most well-designed hunting "outfit" of all time.

i am not sure which stuff I even have other than Sitka. Is there multiple systems within their line or is mine likeky the fanatic stuff?

Asio is suppose to be some nice gear to. I still rock the nomad I'm a mossy oak fan boy, my buddies all where sitka but I don't think I can make the switch after telling them how gay they look wearing it.

They have an entire layering system with the Fanatic being their main outerwear.

I have the sweatshirt and Fanatic bibs. Could use the jacket. Been hunting with about 5 layers and could use a "good" jacket. I have good late season/gun season jackets but they're too bulky for compound bow. I think I'm going to bite the bullet today and order the jacket. Pay once. Cry once. Generally if we spend money like this, it ends our season. Example: buy a new gun for gun season and you will inevitably tag out a week before gun season. Maybe if I buy the jacket I will tag a buck before the jacket arrives.

I bought my first Sitka under layers in 2008 I believe soon after they came out. Its a undershirt but can be worn by itself as well. Has the thumb holes built in which was awesome for me because I always had cut thumb holes with scissors in all my other under shirts. Anyways, I am still wearing it today, literally right now lol. Great quality, just now starting to rip and I have wore the shit out of it for 13 years. Not as big of fan of the rest of the sitka gear I own for the money. But this particular shirt has been awesome.

First lite fan boy as well. Love their layers and the compressed fit. Super warm and very functional.
