Just about perfect

This has to be one of the most wind and waterproof jackets I have ever worn. I've used it all this season for the boat ride and in the timber and it hasn't disappointed. The fit is excellent even when layered over my mid layer and waders. I did remove the call loops just because I prefer a lanyard, to each his own. My only complaint is with the length of the jacket the zipper can be hard to start, but that could just be me.

I have not used my Hudson Jacket for hunting yet but I did wear it ice fishing and it was awesome. A very light yet very warm coat that is everything as advertised. Duck hunting in Ohio is over for the season but i wear the coat any chance it is warranted.

Great over-garment

Knowing that I was using the garment as an outside layer I went up from xl to 2xl. It is pretty true to size so with that said I could have got the xl in extra long and been just fine but I prefer a little extra room for layering. Pockets are very well thought out! Zippers are water proof/resistant and high quality. I use the duck oven under this and stay crazy warm. Very solid product you won't be unhappy with garment.

This coat is absolutely the best coat I have ever owned. Completely waterproof comfortable big pockets, and extremely warm and windproof. Sitka may be more money than most, but it is absolutely the best product if you’re a waterfowler.

Huge design flaw

Everything about this jacket is perfect, Except Sitka in my opinion provided a feature that makes this product unusable. The chest pockets Sitka figured should be left open with no zippers or anyway to close. In a rainstorm you get to just watch them fill with water counting down the minutes to inevitable leaking in the future. Why were weather tight zippers excluded?

Awesome jacket, requires layering for temps 40 or less

As with all Sitka products this jacket is extremely well made. With the goretex technology it is highly water proof and relatively breathable. The rubber gaskets on the end of the sleeves actually work quite well when cinched down. The shell pockets are good sized and the chest pockets are a comfortable place to hang out. The cellphone pocket on the inside of the jacket is a little small but phone sizes are highly variable year to year. Biggest complaint is that for the money it is not that warm. Given the price point I figured it would be warmer. It is advertised as 3/5 on the warmth scale. I ordered this jacket online and did not try it on in store so there is ownership on me. I am 6’1” 215 lbs so don’t get cold easy but to be comfortable in the duck blind for 3-4 hours if its 30-40 degrees I am wearing my ambient jacket underneath with two other merino base layers as well. If you are hunting ducks anywhere where you experience near or subfreezing temperatures, which is most hunters, I would recommend a warmer jacket. Additionally, as all products are field tested it would be informative if Sitka could recommend a temperature range for products in a static setting in addition to the bar scale. Ultimately I wish would have purchased the Boreal Jacket instead of this Hudson. Once again, on me for not going to a store and putting eyes on it myself. Great product that works well on its own for early season hunts here in Western Washington and with layers for later on in the season. I will continue to recommend and exclusively purchase Sitka for waterfowl hunting gear/clothes.

Hudson Jacket.

The first day out with it it was pouring rain and was about 33 degrees. Needless to say that I was dry and warm with my duck oven base layer. It really is a great windbreaker and rain coat, I am out on the water most of the duck season on the NE coast and you know the winds we get here. I do not hesitate to go anymore in inclement weather in fear of being wet and cold. I am 5’7” and 185. I bought the jacket in an xl and wear with a base jacket and it fits perfectly with no draft issues. I will be outdoors 26 year old son with Sitka as gifts for his birthday and different holidays.

This is the best cold

This is the best cold weather outer layer that I’ve ever had! It stops the wind and rain; it’s durable, breathable, and doesn’t restrict range of motion. In subzero temperatures I layered it over merino 330 base layer and a traverse jacket, which kept me warm all day!

Hudson

Ordered the medium and has held up in this odd California waterfowl season. Lowest temp I have used in so far was high 40s light wind and heavy cloud cover. Just barely missed the rain on that day. No issues shouldering the shotgun with the jacket on over a midweight zip T and the 330 core hoody on under it. Wish the sleeves were not as long as the are but that could just be me having short arms. I usually have to look for it the night before hunt day since my boy seems to be wearing it too.

Impressed

After much debate of talking to other hunters and looking at other brands I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the Hudson. I’m impressed with the overall quality and look forward to putting it to the test. I hated to spend the money but wanted something that would last and would truly keep me warm. I’m glad I did it.

Replacing the icon

My Columbia omni-quad parka finally became unservicable igniting The search for a worthy replacement. I finally settled on the Hudson and so far I am very pleased. It is comfortable. It is warm and appears to be very durable. The one huge advantage this has over the old Columbia is the bulk or lack thereof. The jacket has a lot of features and so far I'm very happy with my purchase.
