Let me just start by
Let me just start by saying that I’ve never once written a review on a product, but felt obligated to on this one. Do not buy online without trying the gear on, Sitka does a great job of making their gear fit a specific way. As far as the hat goes, this is the first piece of Sitka gear I’ve owned, and though I’m a huge fan of them and think they are ten steps ahead of the competition, be careful if thinking to add this to you collection. The material this is made out of us extremely nice and durable, but there is a catch that I can’t believe Sitka would let into production.. where the hat sits on your ears (the mesh) is like sand paper. I wear this hat every time I hunt because I’m a die hard, but it makes the area where my ears attach to my head very raw. Read the fit on their apparel (I own the Celsius jacket too and i went a size up and the arms are still tight on me) and try the gear on at a retailer.. the jacket is a 5 star! Hope this helps someone make a better decision than I did so you don’t click buy online! Good luck this season and Sitka is still second to none!
