HyperDown Jacket Reviews

Overall good but it could be better.

Overall I am satisfied with this jacket. It is light, packs well and seems to have good construction. I like that the insulation extends below the wrist cuff and bottom drawcord. It is wonderfully warm but I've only had it out at freezing and not well below yet. Most recently a northern Washington PCT section hike. Even though they say it is sized to fit over layers and a bino harness my typical size was a little tight. I usually wear a large and I'm glad I sized up to XL. An overcoat is not something to skimp on size. I do have some wishes for improvement with this jacket. I wish the hood had additional adjustment on the back so that it could be better fitted. I don't always want the hood so cavernous. Also I wish the down was treated and had some overstuff. I get the idea behind a synthetic mix but at 90% down and just a nylon shell, a little bit of primaloft isn't going to miraculously make the jacket just as resistant to clumping if it gets wet. (And it will eventually in its use. ) Even if it isn't the same down as their sleeping bags, there are many responsibility sourced treated down options and the performance loss is pretty minimal.

Great overall

I purchased this jacket to have something to keep in my pack for late season glassing. The jacket it warm! It's very thick and pretty lightweight. I ordered a large and it fits well, I could wear this over long johns and a hoody or a light coat. anything more and it would be a bit too snug in the arms. I am 6'1" 170lbs athletic build.

Sitka HyperDown Jacket

The Sitka HyperDown Jacket is incredibly warm and lightweight, offering outstanding insulation without bulk. Its packability and durable weather-resistant shell make it perfect for demanding backcountry adventures.

Hyperdown

Fits on the larger side compared to other Sitka jackets, comfortable and warm.

Other than sizing (XL), which

Other than sizing (XL), which is challenging for me if it is not a Large Tall, this jacket is fantastic. Super warm, super puffy, packs down fine considering the size. Tough to layer under rain gear, which is not really what it was designed for, but can work in a pinch. Really more of a 'belay' style jacket to go over your kit depending on size, or simply as warm outerwear. Well done; I will be adding the pants eventually.

Looking forward to glassing in the mountains and staying warm this year! Very nice jacket

Super nice build

Very lightweight, and warm. The perfect jacket for late season glassing

Best puffy out there

Best of the best. I’ve ran this jacket for a little while now. I have all the other major brand puffy jackets. While this one is a tad heavier, it is by far warmer and more durable. Sitka absolutely nailed it with this jacket. It may weigh slightly more than the others, but it also keeps you from having to pack an extra mid layer. So the weight evens out. I can say that there is not a jacket that is warmer on the market than this.

Super Warm!

I’ve been wanting a “heavier” puffy for a while, hunting in Alberta late November we can see some really cold temperatures (-40). So I wanted something that could fit inside my pack and was light and easy to carry, but also warm enough when the temperatures dip down. This Hyperdown jacket is exactly what I was looking for. Im almost inbetween sizes as I am 6’3” 250lbs…. I ordered an XL because I read they run a bit big, this jacket fits overtop of all my other layers. I tried it on over top of my Ambient 200(XL) and Jetstream(XXL) jackets. At first I thought it was too big but I can’t believe how well it packs down. Can’t wait to try it out this winter!

Hyperdown Jacket

So far the quality of the jacket looks really good! Can't wait to try it out this hunting season!

Excellent Jacket

I had a hard time finding out the construction type of the barreling but admiring finding a review that you could see it was box baffled I purchased it. It is incredibly warm and the construction appear stout and will offer more warmth than a traditional sewn thru. It is a little more loft than the older kelvin down jacket. Looking forward to using it for guiding on long cold sits this fall. The green is a little dark, but it’s a pleasant color for all occasions.

Hyperdown

I have tested these pants for around 2 weeks. I have a mtn goat hunt in Alaska during the middle of October. These pants are super warm and fit nicely in my system.

Great addition to my arsenal

Extremely light, packs small, fits true to size and keeps you warm. What else could you ask for?

Love it

Super warm and comfortable !

Best down packable ever!

This coat hit all the things I need. Light weight, packs very small and super warm!

Good first impression.

Havent put this coat to use but my first impression of it out of the box is that its what i was looking for. Super light weight, high loft and good fit. The hood is sized large enough and dimensions of the body and arms allow for the two wool layers that i would typically wear underneath while hunting. Im 6-03 200lbs and purchased the Large In lichen. I looked at several similar down coats from competitors and selected this one based on features, sale price and the high level of satisfaction that i have had from the other sitka garments (pants, vest, gloves) that i have from them. Always super high quality products, practical design and good fit. I plan to wear this coat daily and in the field as needed.

Hyper down jacket

Great fit really warm overall great product.

Warm jacket and super light

Nice jacket that will keep you warm for sure and feels very light on you but has warmth for the cold weather

Love the jacket! Comfortable, Good

Love the jacket! Comfortable, Good pockets, well constructed.

Down Jacket

Purchased this jacket for this upcoming elk season in Idaho. It’s noticeably thicker than the areolite version. Seems a little larger than my other. Can’t wait to use it.

Hyper down gear

I have both the uber-warm hyper down gear and the medium warmth sitka gear. Both are fantastic. For normal puffy gear while sitting on the mountain glassing, the medium warmth is perfect. But in super cold or even Arctic level temperatures, the hyper down here is amazing. The hyper down gear, of course, is thicker and does not pack as well as as the medium strength gear, but is still relatively easy to shove in a backpack without taking a ton of space.

Warm jacket

Super happy with the jacket , I like the puffy ness of it 😊

Excellent product

I absolutely love this coat for cold morning scouting. True to size and weight to warmth rating is awesome

Lightweight warmth

The hyper down jacket is extremely lightweight for this calibre of weather and extreme cold protection- I had the Kelvin lite down prior and loved that jacket - the hyper down brings it to the next level and I used it as a daily wear now even during windy and cold Canadian spring weather in the mountains. The the other surprising thing is the movebility it has, to go to full draw at bow practices easily or just freely move stuff arround when I’m in the woods of our mountain farm - I feel like wearing a “tshirt” and being cozylly tugged away. The inside material is super soft and comfortable, also the had warm pockets are great. I love the technical approach of the inside pockets to heat up gear - maybe a next version of this jacket could have also an inside zipper pocket as I use this a lot for my wallet and phone. Overall I think there is nothing like it on the market currently in that lightweight and warmth category especially for the outdoors power user that transports gear and equipment where every gram counts. 💪🏼

Love it!

Love it!

Was worried about sizing

I wear a medium in the ambient hoodie (my favorite Sitka item) was worried the medium would be too small. Fortunately it’s a perfect fit I can put it over a lighter weight down and it fits great. The purpose of this jacket will be for sitting and glassing in -30c and I think it will work perfectly.

Sitka has always made a

Sitka has always made a great product! The hyper down jacket is a game changer!

Extremely warm

Very warm would need minimal layers if plan on walking a lot. True to size with room for layers. Great jacket.

Outstanding

The one jacket to always have in your pack. Warmth to weight ratio is ridiculous. 6’2” 190. size large

HyperDown Jacket

Good quality.

Hyperdown

Warmest jacket ive ever had

Amazing jacket

The most comfortable down puffy jacket I’ve ever owned. I won this jacket, thanks to a raffle, and so thankful I did! I have the solid color and wear this around town, to the mountain, ice-fishing, and it’ll definitely be in my pack for spring bear and late season deer. It’s comfort and down warmth literally feels like a sleeping bag and is lightweight. It has very impressive loft capabilities in the design and the baffles are all full, there aren’t any flat gaps in the down, and I’ve been plenty warm in it. Sitka made this jacket bigger than what they typically size for jackets, so I would recommend for ppl to get the same size they wear in a shirt. It’s made for layering and not super tight, for example, I’m 210 (currently) and 6’0 and have a Large. You’ll enjoy!

Warm Jacket!

Jacket is very warm, great quality, really nice gear.

Very warm, really like it

Very warm, really like it on those winter ice fishing days and chasing predators in the winter in BC

Hyperdown Coat

Super warm coat, warmest I have ever worn. Wore in -38 in Minnesota and was toasty warm. Only recommendation I would suggest is upgrade the zipper. It is a lightweight zipper on a coat that is worn usually with heavy gloves or mittens. It is hard to get a hold of even without gloves. If zipper was heavier it would be a 5 star +

Warm, Light, Well thought out

This jacket is pretty perfect. So many little details that are well thought out. It is extremely lightweight and packs down small, so it won't take up much space in your pack. Solid zipper. Really nice cuff design. Large interior pockets for quickly stashing gloves or other gear. Draw cords were you want them. They aren't trying to reinvent the wheel, this is a simple design with attention to detail. I got a large so that I can layer it over all my other layers and outerwear.

The ultimate down coat

Light and packable for long trips.

Amazing warmth and lite weight!

Recently got this jacket and put it to the test shed hunting in Alberta in -35 with extreme windchill and the jacket performed outstanding. Found it very similar in warmth to the discontinued Kelvin Windstopper down, (which is my favorite warm jacket of all time) but the hyperdown jacket is at least 10 ounces less! Will be using it as my new late season sheep hunting down jacket!

HyperDown Jacket

For a jacket this warm, its lightweight and pretty packable. Runs large, as designed to go over bino case. Seems decently water resistant, worn in the rain for an hour and no problem. It's not Goretex but pretty good anyway. Very comfortable. Large hood to go over hats. Fairly simple design but not much I would add for bells and whistles that would be worth the weight. Great product so far. NOW MAKE ME A FANATIC BALACLAVA

Loose fit

I went with an XL and it could definitely be a bit smaller. I have the old kelvin lite jacket in an xl and it fits perfectly so I was surprised this one was on the bigger side. The jacket itself is flawless, as warm and comfy as it gets.

Nice but not as warm

Nice but not as warm as the Kelvin Down WS Hoody, which this jacket was suppose to be a replacement for a faulty Kelvin Hoody.

Super warm

Great Puffy for glassing. Definitely runs on the big side. I’m typically a large and probably could’ve went with a medium and still fit with my my bino pack on. The fabric does not look very durable, but I am only using this once I am in camp or glassing. For me, it has a purpose in my kit

Excellent product. I like how

Excellent product. I like how it is lite, packs small and is warm. Fit is excellent and allows for layering.

This jacket is fantastic. I

This jacket is fantastic. I was on an Ibex hunt in Spain 🇪🇸 and the weather changed drastically to wind and snow and I pulled hyperdown out of my backpack and it saved my hunt. No wind or moisture got through and it dries in minutes.

Favorite jacket ever!

I have had a chance to wear this jacket in extremely cold conditions and it is so lightweight and comfortable, it is almost like not having it on at all. It will keep you warm without the bulk! In addition to the hood being perfectly designed, for warmth and wind protection, the pockets are insulated on the inside of the jacket also. (Most are not) If you prefer to not wear bulky gloves, the pockets will keep your hands warm and protected from the elements. No need to purchase a larger size to go over clothing. It has ample room.

Warm & light

Great piece of gear that does everything as advertised. Would buy again.

Nice hyperdown puffy coat

This is a super insulated, compressable and very warm and comfortable jacket. It works great in wyoming. . I'm gonna go give it a run in northern alaska. Great job you guys. .

Fit

Fits well and keeps you warm and dry
