Traverse Hoodie Reviews

5’11” 200 lbs size L

5’11” 200 lbs size L fits perfect. I’ve had this jacket for a couple years. Brought it along on a late season rifle hunt in Montana. Temps ranged from -17- upper 20s with snow and wind. I wore this over the top of a core lightweight and heavyweight hoody. Can’t say enough how comfortable I was. When I did sweat I dried out quickly with this system. Sitka is expensive stuff but man does it work. Highly recommend this hoody.

This is a great hoodie,

This is a great hoodie, well made and fits nicely with not a lot of extra material to get in your way. The face mask is a nice touch and stays out of the way when not needed. Can’t comment on longevity or how it handles precip yet but time will tell. Definitely worth the money.

One of the most used

One of the most used pieces of my Sitka gear !!! Very comfortable and a great base layer! Highly recommended

The Traverse hoody is easily

The Traverse hoody is easily one of my favorite purchases from Sitka. It is warm enough to wear in freezing temperatures if you are moving and works as a great base layer if you are stationary.

So far I have been

So far I have been very happy with my Sitka gear. Light weight, warm, and breathable. I went one size up because the clothing seems to run one size smaller than normal. Only reason for not giving it 5 stars is because I wish it was a little better on the waterproofing side, other than that, it is my go to jacket for hunting.

I’m very impressed with the

I’m very impressed with the overall design of the hoodie! Very good October to early November, it’s not the best for late season gear but so far I’ve really enjoyed the gear, I bundled up under it and I stay warm, instead of buying the higher stuff I recommend getting another jacket or vest and you’ll be set for the year in all conditions! The traverse gear isn’t the best for rain or snow, the rain soaks into your pants and is not waterproof. Then you have to wash it or make sure it’s dry! Overall I can’t really complain about the gear! It is very durable and comfortable gear! I really recommend getting it overall!

This thing has been used

This thing has been used way more than I expected so far this season. I’ve been wearing it as an outer piece with proper layering to the low 30s. Incredibly quiet. So far handles thorn patches decently. No snags yet. I’m in between sizes on Sitka tops. This one in large fit snug so I sized up.

Awesome gear kept me very

Awesome gear kept me very warm in 20 degree weather went to Illinois for bow season on public land and not complaining 1 bit 100% satisfying

Great sweater, had to exchange

Great sweater, had to exchange for a smaller size, hoping to see the new one soon.

Great jacket. Bought 2. One

Great jacket. Bought 2. One in black for blinds and one in camo for stands. Warm and comfortable great fit. You guys need to make more items in 3x for us larger fellas please!!

Took this out today and

Took this out today and kept me toasty in high 40's. I paired it with the mountain jacket and I was warm all day.

This is my new favorite

This is my new favorite jacket from Sitka. First impression was the comfort. This is also extremely quiet. The hood and face mask fit great and do not alter your vision when rotating your head. I did size up from my normal size after reading the reviews and I made the correct choice. I’m 5’ 9” 190lbs and the XL fits me perfect. I could say good things about this jacket all day. Definitely will be getting a different color soon.

I’m new to Sitka Gear,

I’m new to Sitka Gear, and I’m happy with the results of the hoody. I wore it in Indiana this past week with temps varying from the low 30s to 60s. The warmer temps i paired with stratus pants. Colder weather it was paired with the fanatic bibs. A base layer, a normal long sleeve shirt and this hoodie kept toasty in 33 degree mornings. Fit is great. I had several deer over the course of the week within single yard distances and none of them were ever on alert. I was fortunate to kill a great 10 point buck and was extremely comfortable doing so. My only thing I’d like to see is a pass through for a harness. The fanatic jacket was too warm for me, and I want the option to wear the harness under the hoody

Love this hoody, great cool

Love this hoody, great cool weather option. Super quiet and plenty of warmth.

I am a bow hunter

I am a bow hunter and this jacket is perfect for the average bowhunter. It has a nice fit.

I love this jacket, it’s

I love this jacket, it’s comfortable, a good layer, and extremely warm. The materials on the inside feel amazing and the fit is extremely good, would definitely recommend this jacket

Although I’m yet to wear

Although I’m yet to wear this product outside it is clearly very high quality and very well made. The XL fits me (6ft 5”) very well. The only thing stopping me from giving this product 5 stars is the fact that the face mask can’t be worn comfortably whilst wearing ear defenders, which is a shame as I much prefer ear defenders to ear plugs as ear defenders help hold up my glasses. But this will hopefully get lots of use over the years to come wildfowling in England.

Great quality. Runs a little

Great quality. Runs a little small. I recommend to size up when ordering. I am a 14 yo weighing 170 lbs and had to get XL so I could have a little growing room.

Just one piece of gear

Just one piece of gear that I have ordered over the past few months. Really glad that I did and wouldn’t think about purchasing any other brand! Great product!

Great for Texas weather. Layers

Great for Texas weather. Layers great for those colder days. Quiet and comfortable.

The new design of the

The new design of the traverse hoodie is awesome compared to the old version. The hood is way better.

I have a lot of

I have a lot of Sitka gear and this may be the only product i’ve been iffy about. I ordered the hoody in my normal sitka size and for some reason this was small on me. I normally order mediums and they are a tad big on me. So i was surprised this in a medium was too small. It also has a weird fit. It’s long which is fine with clothing that is flexible but this hoody is stiff so they length bunches up at the bottom. But, it’s very warm. I want to love it, so I may have to return and get a bigger size. I wish they still made the gradient hoody. It was a much better fit.

My new favorite piece (

My new favorite piece ( well maybe a tie with the waders). Love the full length front zipper. Getting older and shoulders not working as well as they used to. Also security of zipper pockets for keys, wallet, and appears to be a bigger chest phone zipper.

I love it and think

I love it and think it’s a great mid layer, I would recommend to most people possibly going a size up I usually wear a large in all my Sitka but had to go to an Xl because of how snug the large was

Amazing jacket. I didn’t think

Amazing jacket. I didn’t think it would be as warm as it was but the jacket does fit kinda small.

Awesome jacket. Ordered a size

Awesome jacket. Ordered a size XL and the fit is great. Fleece lining is warm. Will be a great outer layer for when its not windy and I dont need to wear the Stratus jacket. The XL hoody also fits well underneath the XL Stratus jacket.

Love this piece, will be

Love this piece, will be replacing my Equinox Hoody. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that I wish it had the hole in the back for the safety harness.

This jacket has exceeded my

This jacket has exceeded my initial expectations in its versatility. The tight weave of the exterior sheds water and wind more than expected and its quiet too. It won't stand up to downpours and really windy conditions but it performs well in most conditions. The warmth is exceptional and will work for mid-to-late season western weather. The fit is great and not overly bulky due to the body mapped fleece. Overall this piece integrates well with the system I use in the northern Rockies.

I got this for hunting

I got this for hunting but I liked it so much, I wear it everywhere. Not a windbreaker for sure but works as a great insulating layer.

I bought the white solid

I bought the white solid for snow goose hunting warm & comfortable. Only 3 stars as the zippers are all grey and the only solid color version of this jacket that the zippers do not match. A snow goose has amazing eyesight and pick up movement. The white is supposed to conceal the movement but I kid you not they can see the grey if you move while laying out in the field.

5' 9' 175 pounds. This

5' 9' 175 pounds. This hoodie fits perfect and blocks the ND wind perfectly. The only thing preventing 5 stars is the face mask. I wish it was made with heavier material.

Awesome mid layer for cold

Awesome mid layer for cold hunts or outer layer for crisp mornings without wind super comfortable and extreamly quite only down side is the built in face mask is about useless it’s so tight on your face it’s uncomfortable other than that I love the fit and function on those not to windy sits

This item is warm and

This item is warm and comfortable for me at 55 - 60. I would not go below that especially if there is a breeze. Wind cuts threw it. Very soft, quite, fits snug. Most definitely archers buy a size bigger. Feels slightly looser than long John/ thermals. Can climb easily. Blood did not stain it.

By Far my favorite thing

By Far my favorite thing I have gotten, extremely warm, quiet, vey comfortable

Great hoodie overall, works great

Great hoodie overall, works great as an outer layer in 50 degrees. Once the mercury plummets, this hoodie thrives under a pullover or jacket. Extremely quiet and versatile.
