I find myself wearing this jacket in a variety of temperatures. I usually wear it in the saddle as in outer garment in temperatures down to about 40 and then use it as a mid layer when temperatures get cold. What an amazing piece by Sitka. My only concern is its durability when walking through the woods. I am reluctant to wear it outside of the stand because it seems like it would get caught and torn easily by brush and briars. This has not been tested nor proven, I just don’t want to chance ruining my jacket. Either way, it’s a great piece of gear.

This layer is absolutely perfect for start stop hunts or active endeavors. I love that you can get some moving in and long stationary sits from the same piece. I use it skiing resort/ski touring and don’t feel the need to wear any types of layers anymore. One disadvantage is your gonna be wearing this thing everyday around the house so you will have to purchase other colors or patterns. This is costly but you will find ways to articulate why you need it so no worries.

Does an excellent job of insulating without getting uncomfortably hot once you start hiking hard or the temperatures start rising. This is probably my favorite clothing purchase of all time, it’s just unbelievably comfortable. I originally got one for hunting but I liked it so much I got a second just for daily wear. Also, as a taller individual, the LT is the perfect size.

This has become my favorite piece of clothing. So far have used it spring bear hunting, hiking, and salmon fishing. It has performed exceptionally well in all conditions. Holds warmth when stationary, breaths and wicks moisture when active and drys extremely fast. Can’t comment on long term durability but so far it is holding up well.

Love this jacket, its super light and packable. I used this jacket all turkey season and on a 12 day spring bear hunt and when used as a active mid layer or outer jacket on quick hikes its wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a lightweight warm mid layer jacket they can leave on during shorter quick hikes and glassing sessions. Don't expect this to replace your puffy jacket but as ultra light fleece layer its perfect.

For me this is by far the best Ambient coat/jacket, I have the other two. A full zip with a hood works best for me and the hood is designed perfect for visibility while waterfowl hunting. The only complaint I have is the fraying of the face fabric when under my Hudson or Nodak bibs. I want to give it a 5 though I'm concerned that after one year those two locations of fraying will be worn through and a $299 garment should last longer than that. Other than the fraying issue it is a great product and I have put it to the test since getting it for Christmas, around 25 days of hunting. Make it in the Marsh camo and I'm sure I would buy another one.

I am 5’11 195 lbs athletic build, I ordered large and it was perfect. I own both the older half zip and the full zip. I like the elastic at the end of the sleeves of the new full zip much better but I like the adjustable bottom of the half zip. Other than those differences both are fantastic and extremely warm. I have done many 5-10 patrols in the last couple years with both at any where from 15-60 degrees and it is my favorite layer by far. I have also been skydiving in it at -13 degrees it did surprisingly well blocking wind. They do start pilling very easy so if you want it to stay looking nice you can’t use it for it’s intended purpose but for me I use it hard and don’t mind the pilling.

Bought the regular Ambient in E2 for deer season and loved it. Ended up buying the Ambient 100 hooded jacket in black for everyday, and love it just as much. Crazy how warm they are without being bulky or heavy. One of my favorite pieces of Sitka gear. Does run a little on the small side even for Sitka. Ordered a large in both.

This is an excellent hoody, light, warm, and comfortable. However...I have to say that I like the Traverse better. It is just as warm, has a full zip, several pockets, a face mask, and the sleeves extend in to half gloves. I think the Travers is better at shedding light precipitation.

This jacket is super versatile and I haven’t found a situation where it didn’t excel. I used it through the late archery deer season in the upper Midwest. A standalone outer layer while hiking in to my tree stand or spot and stalk, it worked great and moderated my temperature. Very breathable, but holds in enough heat to keep you warm. When in the tree stand I would usually throw my stratus vest or fanatic vest over the top, depending on the wind and temperature, but this ended up being one of my primary pieces this late season. I love all the ambient collection but this jacket has a full zip with hood and front pockets, pretty much combines all the features some of the other models are missing. Avoid the thorns and briars; it is durable but will succumb to a sharp snag. Turned into my winter hiking jacket as well because of the warmth and breathability.

After eyeing the ambient collection for a while, I was excited when they released this full-zip hoody. After wearing it outdoors a few times, I don't think the material performs that much better than a much cheaper grid fleece. But the real issue is the fit- for some reason, the torso is cut short in front, and with the elastic hem the jacket constantly rides up during any active movement. For gear that's supposed to move with you, this is a design flaw, and at $300 every detail should be dialed. Maybe a tall would've worked better, but they don't offer that in my size.

I have worn this as an active layer a few times now. Starting in the mornings before dawn, in the high 20’s-30’s. I can hike just fine staying perfectly warm and comfortable without overheating until the afternoon 70’s. If I sweat a bit the moisture wicks right through it. If you see some thick brush coming along you’re going to want to be careful, it’s durable for how lightweight it is but I’ve pulled a few threads out already. It’s not made to bust brush so don’t try it. I am 5’7” and weigh 170, the size large fits me great.

I never write product reviews "EVER!". But I have to on how impressed i am and it definitely well over exceed my expectations! i will now say I am proud Sitka Fan and forever customer. The Ambient Jacket (Black) in a large. This is my first ever Sitka Gear I bought. I will definitely say Sitka made a name for themselves heard great things and wanted to see what the hype was, and when people say they love their Sitka gear and how great it is I see why now. I'm in Law Enforcement and I also just got into hunting this year. So I was looking for gear and I've been looking for better cold weather gear. Been a big underarmour fan got tons of cold gear etc you name it. Including their hunting gear, well it really doesn't cut it anymore, it doesn't keep you as warm. Your still cold and quality isnt there. But I tested this out on my shift in 32 degree weather with 5-10mph winds. I had this under my uniform between my uniform shirt and ballistic vest as a mid layer it was not bulky at all. You couldn't tell i had this on underneath. It's so light and comfortable and its so warm, I fell in love with it, i forgot I was wearing it! I was out of my patrol car and on foot for awhile I didnt need my junky dept. outer jacket which is heavy and bulky cumbersome and isn't really warm at all I just hate wearing it, its doodoo. but the Ambient kept me warm and cozy and when in my car i actually got hot to where i had to open the windows and turn the heat down or off. if your worried about price. This product is worth it! Sitka made an amazing and outstanding product and is worth every penny. I will continue to buy the Ambient jacket and I hope Sitka keeps this product line going. You will not expect how awesome this jacket is when you pick it up for the first time cause its thin and the feel. I don't know how to describe it, its just a different feel to it, ive never had anything like it so i cant give an example but it was made with love lol. But Its definitely high quality and can see lasting me a long time Its so light weight, soft and warm and just feels amazing wearing it. Its nice and stylish and can be used for everyday life, from running errands, hanging with friends to hunting, camping, Mid layer etc. what ever you can think of its now my goto. its definitely worth the money and it's money well spent. So glad I got the Ambient hoody jacket and definitely will be buying another one when I get paid and will be getting more sitka gear. I just love this thing Might not take it off lol. I was skeptical at first because of price and never bought Sitka gear before so i didn't know what i was getting. but I pulled the trigger and grabbed it, which was the best decision i made so JUST BUY IT! You will not be disappointed at all! I would love to see this in a ranger green color as well.

I am 5’11” and 195 lbs. I am a big fan of Primaloft, and this new sherpa-esque insulation is really nice to wear. It has been great for everyday wear, but I recently took it out on a scouting trip to test how it worked under rigorous hiking and cooler weather with a chance of rain. I had a synthetic baselayer and Mountain Evo Jacket for the ascent. The Mountain Jacket performed very well, although I was very surprised at how wet my back was when I removed my backpack and put on the Ambient 100 for when I was glassing. I now had a baselayer, Ambient, Mountain Evo Jacket, and it started raining lightly. I was at a perfect temperature, and the moisture on my back seemed unbothered when the Ambient 100 came in contact with my shirt. The temps dropped, and the layer system did really well as I hiked further up the mountain. I didn’t get too hot or sweaty and felt very comfortable in the low 40s. As we hit 8800 ft, it began to snow, and I put my Dew Point Jacket on. Now, I had a layering system of baselayer, Ambient 100, Mountain Jacket, and Dew Point Jacket. It all fit very well and didn't feel bulky or constrictive. Temps were now wet and cold; low 30s with a bit of wind. Hiking downhill was a win, and I never felt overheated or wet. Final thoughts—Ambient 100, Black (Size Large): I truly love it. I wish the male part of the zipper was a little larger. Sometimes, it is hard to get it engaged. This is a minor issue, but the jacket is supreme. I wonder if there needs to be some sort of stitching on the jacket, as the Riptstop face feels like it is floating away from the Primaloft. It probably enhances breathing. Mountain Evo Jacket, Subalpine, and Deep Lichen (Size Large Tall): The arm lengths are different on both jackets. My subalpine is too long, and a simple sleeve roll-up is a perfect fit. I wish the Deep Lichen color were the same as my Dew Point Jacket. The Mountain Jacket has a bit more yellow, while the Dew Point has more black. The fit is great, the performance on the back is awesome, and the windproof technology was a win for me. This pairs very well with my kit. The hood could have a little more reach, but I have a longer neck, so it didn't fit perfectly, but it was satisfactory for me. Dew Point Jacket, Deep Lichen (Size Large Tall): Amazing jacket. I have had my run-through rain jackets, and this jacket is very nice. I love the color, the performance and the ability to keep me dry. I have tested this in some serious rain and even some snow. One critique is that the zipper at the top by sternum catches on an inner flap, but other than that, this is a stellar piece of gear for my kit. I also love the deep pockets that work well with my backpack.
