  • So warm
Extremely warm and comfortable. Smart design for easy access to other layers. I bought the entire Sitka system and hunt in northern Wisconsin. It keeps me warm and quite as a mouse.

  • Great product!
Was hesitant on price but well worth it. Really warm and super functional with all the pockets. Definitely recommend!

  • As advertised
One of the warmest with good wind blocking outer layer vests that I have tried. I was afraid that the fabric would be a burr magnet but pleasantly surprised- not a problem. Note: It's not very packable unless you have a huge backpack.

  • Sizing is a problem
Size: Medium Color: Optifade Elevated Ii
Like all Sitka Products the vest is great. I’m not sure what’s going on with their sizing but I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of sizing issues. I’m a 44 chest size. The XL would fit a 50” and the Large probably would be a good fit on a 42” size chest. In the end I sent both back only because of the fit. ... show more

  • Nice outer shell and comfortable!
Size: 3X-Large Color: Optifade Elevated Ii
Nice layer to keep warm on a cold November morning. Has cross zipper so the hand warmers are together not separated, has inside storage pouch to put your call in and phone.
