Grindstone Work Jacket - 2024 Reviews

Great Jacket

I love this jacket very light very warm. My only complaint is the hood doesn’t fold enough out of the way it hits on the back of my neck when I don’t want to wear a hood. I’m 6’ 230 and the XL fits perfectly.

Best Jacket

I like to wait awhile after I get something from Sitka to write a review but this jacket is an exception. It fits perfect, is warm, and very durable. I’m a fit 5’7”, 175lbs and the medium sits great on my waist and sleeves are spot on. Living in WI, we’ve had some super cold days so far the jacket has done its job. I will say, this isn’t a jacket that you can put too many layers under, you can probably wear a shirt and a sweatshirt under it but once you get too bulky, the jacket gets a little too snug for my liking.

Work jacket

Love it

Nice Jacket

It looks good, the fit runs true to size. Great as an outer shell, windproof, easy to layer underneath.

Great jacket

I wear this every day to work. Very comfortable and warm. Also, very durable. Definitely worth the investment.

Comfortable

Best Jacket on the Market

Absolutely love the grindstone work jacket line!!! Fits perfectly!! Cuts the wind like no other coat I've owned. My girlfriend is salty because there isn't a woman's version. This jacket isn't for early fall though. . . For me it's too warm in early fall.

Expensive Carhartt

Not their best product. Onyx Black is also not black at all. Wind blows through the seams, arms are longer than other XL sized jackets. The torso is very large and cumbersome.

Grindstone work jackt

My new favorite lightweight jacket. Don’t let the light weight fool you though. Due to it being insulated and wind proof it is a lot warmer that Sitka gives it credit for.

Grindstone work Jacket

What a great jacket. I purchased one for all of the guys on my crew and they love em. Perfect jacket for working out in Michigan winter weather.

Great Jacket.

Framer/ carpenter in Upstate NY. I’ve been wearing this as my winter work jacket, so far this winter it’s been awesome in temps down to 5°, it’s warm and does a great job cutting the wind. My only complaint about the jacket is the zipper, it seems like it’s going to be highly potential point of failure. You’d think that Sitka would had beefed up the zipper a bit for a work jacket. I’m 5’9” 170lbs, athletic build and a medium fits me perfect and has some room for other layers and bibs underneath.

Nice jacket

Bulletproof

2 seasons in, this is a very very good work jacket, i'd give it 6 stars if it was gore-tex level waterproof. The windstopper fabric is bulletproof. The overall quality of the components and construction is above all Simms, Burton, Patagonia and other comparable jackets I've owned. Buy it on sale and you will be happy for a very long time. The primaloft will cover you down to 35-40F with a flannel underneath, wear a fleece or fancy aerolite layer for colder temps. I am 6'0" and 200lbs and wear a Large. The wrists are a bit snug like other Sitka jackets (trapping warmth). No pit zips so dress light if you're stacking wood. Again the fabric is bulletproof.

Great jacket for mn winter

Great jacket

Keeps you warm in freezing temperatures without making you too hot.

Runs large

Great jacket but definitely runs large, had to exchange for a medium

Poor construction

Ironic that I get an email to review my new jacket. After only having this for 2 weeks, I'm incredibly disappointed. The inner chest pocket zipper is poorly designed. The zipper caught the inner lining making it impossible to open or close. It actually tore into the thin pocket liner. This is not what one would expect for such a 'premium product'. If I could return it, I would.

Stiff, noisy, cold and undersized

Purchased 2 colors for black friday. Price was still over priced for the quality. Jacket is thin and cold in 30 degree weather. Fits about a size smaller in the waist and chest but a size longer in sleeve length. It's stiff and noisy, the hood is very annoying since it's so stiff it doesnt fold back or get out of the way easy so it forces you to wear it or figure out a way to get it off your neck. It is not movement friendly like you would expect for a "work" jacket. Overall very dissapointed but may swap out for a size larger to try, really like the design but everything about this jacket so far is awful just like their customer service.

Grindstone jacket

Good work jacket. Keeps you warm enough.

Exactly what I wanted!

I’ve got three of the Grindstone vests, (two for work, one for play), and I love them. Bought the jacket to add another layer on cold days in construction. Works perfectly! Blocks the wind, has plenty of pockets, and is tough. Will be buying more for employees.

This jacket is very nice.

This jacket is very nice. Keeps you warm and dry. Fits true to size and is very comfortable.

Best Jacket on the Market!

The Sitka Gridstone Jacket was my first Sitka Purchase. This jacket is extremely warm, comfortable, and practical. For anyone looking into a comfortable, warm, and waterproof jacket this is it. I love mine! I purchased a size L and I would say it runs true to size. I have plenty of room even wearing a sweatshirt.

great all around

it’s a sitka jacket that’s all that needs to be said!

The jacket is light weight

The jacket is light weight and warm. The pockets are well thought out and useful.

Sitka Grindstone

Warmest jacket I have ever had on.

Grindstone

Great coat warm

Warm and Attractive Jacket

Bought this for my hubby who was in need of a winter jacket but wanted something other than the traditional Northface/Columbia look. He loves it! Only complaint is that the arms/sleeves are a little long on him but the rest fits great.

Sitka Grindstone - 5Star windblocking greatness

Love the coat Love the style of fit Only thoughts would be to have a deeper black as Obsidian is somewhere between black, brown, gray

Great jacket

I was surprised at how tough the exterior of this jacket was which makes it great for everyday use. It keeps you warm even when the wind is blowing.

great jacket

great fit. warm.

Great Winter Jacket

I was looking for a new warm winter jacket this year. This jacket did not disappoint at all. Quality material, REALLY warm.

Great Coat

The was exactly what I was looking for in a work/utility coat. The outside is tough and absolutely wind proof. The inner lining is soft and warm. I have no complaints, but if I had to make one, the hood doesn't lay down very well in the back, but I'm sure that'll break in over time. It's comfortable and fits well. I'm 6'1", about 275, and fat around the gut. The 2XL fits me well. Haven't tested it in wet weather yet but given the fabric, I have no worries about that.

I bought this jacket for the winter in ND. Best jacket I have ever purchased!

Favorite Jacket

Best jacket ever. Fits true to size. I’m 5’11” and the large fits great. Any thick layering underneath it might make it tight, but I have been wearing it with a t-shirt underneath in 10-20 degree weather and been comfortable.

Nice and warm

Very Nice!!

Very well made, triple stitched, heavy canvas like material. Very warm as advertised and stops the wind really well. Takes a little time to break in, but worth it!

Amazing! True to size, love it!

Amazing quality

The coat fits nicely and is super warm and not bulky. The material is high quality and the wind proof and waterproof exterior are amazing.

It finally got cold enough

It finally got cold enough to wear my new jacket to work this week. It was 30-40F this week. So far I’m pleased with it. I like that fact that it is not bulky but still warm. I wore a long sleeve tshirt the grindstone jacket and stayed comfortable. I also have the grindstone vest that I can put on for an extra layer if needed.

Great coat

Great coat, fits very well and I like the upgrades. The zippered pockets and new cut is a big improvement. The fabric is kind of stiff but water runs off and the wind stopper is wonderful. Highly recommended.

Incredible Work coat!

And completely windproof this work coat is a perfect fit for the North slope Brutal environment

Sitka Grindstone Jacket

This jacket is phenomenal. Like a North Face-Carhartt hybrid. Super warm, no wind gets through & not too bulky. The recessed wrist cuffs are a nice touch! Fits exactly as expected - I was worried as I have had other Sitka full-zip pieces that run small, but no issues here! I am 5’10 240lb and bought an XL. Buy this jacket - you won’t regret it!

New favorite coat!
