Sitka Jetstream Jacket

[F250]

My wife and I are looking at buying these jackets. We have never purchased any "high end" clothing like this. I enrolled in the Pro Program and can buy two jackets for the price of one. Anyone have experience with this model jacket ?

I have really like mine. Can't think of any concerns to be honest. Mostly a cold weather outer layer.

Yes. In my humble opinion, its the most versatile jacket in the Sitka line up. It's surprisingly warm for the weight, wind resistant and though not waterproof, it will shed a light drizzle. I have mine on virtually every hunt.

I’ve had mine for about six years now. Love it.

I’ve got a first generation one. It’s great! I haven’t kept up with changes to them as mine hasn’t had any need for replacement

I have one I bought for an Alaska Cruise. The weather was dreadful, sleet, rain and wind. It was the only jacket I had, but it kept me warm and dry. Other folks on the Cruise with us wore heavier clothing, and were complaining about being cold and wet. I stayed warm and dry. I bought another one a year later in a different color (Black). You won't regret the purchase of the Jetstream.

I’ve had mine for 4 years now. Couldn’t be happier. Well worth the money.

I love mine. I’ve worn it hard for 6 years and it’s holding up great.

Not to derail, but do they layer well over the Kelvin jackets?

Over a thinner puffy, yes. They won’t layer well over a heavier puffy unless you really size up.

Good question ! Glad you asked.

They're a good jacket as a mid or outer layer. My wife and I both have one. The women's one doesn't have a hood, FYI

I like mine, size is true and semi relaxed fit with some layer room. I expected little more warmth for the weight of it but really great all-around coldish weather jacket. I primarily wear the mountain jacket(wear hell out of it!) but if sitting still or in cold weather grab the Jetstream, which also was a prodeal purchase.

I've had mine for 3 years now. I'd definitely recommend. Like others have said, it's not waterproof but water resistant. It great at stopping wind. It's lighter than I was expecting. I sized up to fit layers under it, and don't feel it's "too big".

 

[F250]

Thanks to everyone who responded. We just pulled the trigger and ordered two.

Yes. I typically wear medium in all Sitka tops with the exception of the jeststream jacket which I have in large. I layer the medium kelvin underneath it no problem.

To the OP, I’ve had the jet stream jacket 3 years now and love it. It’s held up really well and is highly versatile depending on the layers you put underneath it. Hands down the best hunting jacket I’ve ever had.

 

[MLaird]

Yep, its a great jacket. It changed the way I layer underneath.

Best jacket I own by a long shot, you will love it.
