Great

Great jacket. I’ve only worn it once in sleet/snow mix. A buddy of mine wore it on a separate hunt in similar weather when he left his jacket in the truck and said he needed to get himself one.

Sitka Hudson

Runs pretty big and boxy, I need a large because I have long arms and a long torso but it fits like a xxl in the body.

Unreal

When it finally decides to get cold in south Louisiana it is absolutely BRUTAL! The wind is almost unbearable! 20 degrees in a boat doing 30mph in the middle of the marsh and i felt literally zero wind with the Hudson on! This jacket and that day made my buddy a believer and is now wearing Sitka!

Great Jacket/Better Customer Service

I have been using Sitka gear for years and am a huge fan of layering gear to be comfortable throughout the hunting day in Eastern NC. I recently had a 5+ year old jacket with a zipper malfunction and returned to the warranty department. Upon receipt they quickly processed the claim and had me picking a new coat as a replacement. I called and talked normal weather patterns in NC and Sitka staff helped me choose the Hudson Jacket. It was a great choice to start the early morning boat rides and also allowed enough mobility to wear throughout long cold days. Waterproof, windproof and not overweight, I am glad to be a customer and to own this Hudson Jacket.

Wish I purchased this jacket sooner!!!

I originally purchased the Delta Pro Wading Jacket but returned it, as I failed to realize it was intended only as an outer shell. I was specifically looking for a jacket that was both waterproof and would provide substantial warmth for later seasons, and the Hudson Jacket has not disappointed in wet weather, cold weather, or any weather. For the fit, I can confirm it is true to size. I am 5'10", 180lbs, and I went with the Large, which has enough room for me to comfortably wear my Traverse Hoodie underneath for those cold morning hunts.

I have had this jacket for several years and I rarely wear it. Very disappointing. An XL was too big and a L unfortunately is too small. Arms are long and tight in the body. It is not warm and very tight if you wear extra layers. For the cost, even on sale it, was expensive for a "windbreaker" with a weird fit.

Hudson jacket

Jacket fits super weird. I wear everything in an xl as far as tops go. This is tight in the shoulders loose in the waist. It’s supposed to be flexible but feels like I can’t move my arms in it. In my opinion it is not warm at all once the weather gets 30 or less my Dakota hoody is warmer. And because of the fit I can’t wear it over the Dakota hoody. The zipper hangs up all the time. If you’re looking for a rain jacket it does that well but it is not a cold weather jacket in my opinion.

Not please

Horrible when it rains. The neck collar wicks the rain right down your chest. The hood should be like the new Blizzard Pro. It wraps around and connects with the jacket itself therefore allowing the rain to run down the outside of the jacket. And the wrist always leak down your arms. They don’t seal properly. This is my second Hudson. Even in a light to moderate rain, I’m still getting wet. 52 years of hunting the south Louisiana marshes and the fields of Oklahoma. I was thinking about getting this Blizzard Pro but I’m not convinced that it will keep me dry and warm. IN MY OPINION…

Lack of pockets, weird sizing

For the money, this jacket should be loaded with pockets for waterfowl hunting. The absence of lower slash pockets is hard to get used to. I also had to buy an XL and XXL to see what fit me better. I ended up keeping the XXL, but I've done the same thing with other Sitka items. Sometimes the XL fits, sometimes I have to get an XXL. If this jacket wasn't on sale, I'd have returned it. So far, it has been ok, as we have not encountered any bad weather this season. We'll see how it does with upcoming storms.
