As usual, this is another great piece from SITKA.

Circa always produces the best gear. Fits me so well. I’m 6 foot one, 210 pounds extra large is a perfect fit.

My favorite grab and go

My favorite grab and go jacket. Keeps out elements. Great for me cause I run hot most of the time so this adds a little warmth without burning me out. I wear XL in everything and this was true to size.

Ambient 100 optifade

I think this jacket will really perform for early cold mornings on an elk stalk and tuck away without taking up much space as the temp comes up.

The ambient is a great insulation layer; warm when you’re still and breaths when you’re on the move.

Versatile jacket

This jacket delivers on its promise to operate across a wide arrange of temperatures. You must know how to layer properly and when to adjust those layers as your physical activity increases or decreases. It is a core item that I bring when hiking and hunting.

Somehow light and warm all at the same time. It’s easy for layering but I also wear it on its own for those mornings in the low 60’s. Great piece of gear.

Sitka Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket – Versatility That Earns Its Spot in Your Kit

There are pieces of gear that you wear because you have to—and then there are pieces like the Sitka Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket, the ones you end up wearing because you want to. This jacket has officially earned a permanent place in my truck, my pack, and pretty much anywhere I go when there’s a chill in the air. What struck me immediately was how breathable and lightweight it is without sacrificing warmth. It’s not your traditional puffy jacket—it’s smarter. The 100g PrimaLoft Evolve insulation regulates body temp better than anything else I’ve worn. I can hike in it without overheating, then stop and glass without reaching for a heavier layer. It just works with you, not against you. The fit is dialed in. I’m 5’7”, 180 lbs, wearing a large —and it’s spot-on. Athletic enough to move with you, but roomy enough for layering when conditions shift. The hood is sleek and functional, and the whole jacket moves quietly—none of that swish-swish you get with cheaper synthetics. It’s the kind of jacket you forget you’re wearing until you realize you’ve been comfortable for hours. What really sold me, though, is how adaptable it is. This isn’t just a layering piece for the backcountry—it’s perfect for everyday wear, early morning scouting, mid-season sits, or even grabbing coffee on a cold Saturday morning. It looks good, feels great, and performs even better. If you’re building out your system and you want something that punches way above its weight, the Ambient 100 is it. It’s not flashy, and that’s the beauty of it—it’s just a workhorse that shows up every time you need it. Sitka got this one right. Again.

Best Jacket Ever

This is the best jacket I have ever purchased. It is perfect. Stops the wind and keeps me warm despite being really thin. I can also go from outside to inside and feel perfectly comfortable. It packs up really well and is a great base layer when temperatures drop below 45. Everyone needs this jacket.

Versatile!

I have used this jacket for deer hunting in both Washington State and Texas and duck hunting as part of a layering system as well as a stand alone item and don’t honestly know how I lived without it! It’s also my go to every day jacket! It’s by far the most comfortable jacket I own! I am 6’1” 220 pounds and bought an XXL which allows for some layering.

Ambient 100 hooded jacket review

Love this jacket! Used it this weekend for scouting turkeys and it kept me warm at the same time being breathable. Surprisingly more wind protection than expected. I did get one snag in it from thorns but not terrible. 100% would buy it again and may do so in a diff color. I’m 5’10 and weigh 230lbs originally ordered an xl but exchanged for 2xl being where I like my jackets not to be too snug.

The jacket is great. Works well in the wind and colder weather with layers while also functioning with temps around 40/50 as a light outerwear. Highly recommend it for areas that have large seasonal swings.

It's a great under layer.

It's a great under layer. It's cozy and fits well. It's super light which is great for my archery set-up. I've been wearing it for rifle season in the winter and it's been awesome underneath my other sitka layers. I haven't been able to test it in September yet, but so far it's been great. It's quiet, light, and warm for what it is. I'm 6'1" and 195lbs, I purchased a Large and it's a good athletic fit.
