Zipper is junk

Jacket is great and i was looking forward using it during hunting season as a mid layer but don't wash it. First wash and the zipper came off in the wash. The teeth just seem to fall off.

Traverse Jacket

Purchased several pieces of Sitka gear for this fall for whitetail hunting and elk hunting. Overall, extremely satisfied. This review is for the Traverse Jacket. The jacket performed very well, warm and quiet! Great for layering under a Stratus jacket. The one thing this jacket needs is the safety harness port like the Stratus and Fanatic have. The one thing I love about all the Sitka I've purchased is the fit, so far I have not found a single piece that is binding in any way, climbing, shooting bow, etc. There are 2 pieces of gear that Sitka really needs: 1) the old Celsius Shacket with WindStopper added 2) A Shacket style in the Fanatic Series (add the half sleeves to the Fanatic Vest) this would be a great piece!

Great Jacket

This is a great jacket that is perfect for the early fall hunts. I wore the jacket with a vest underneath and Fanatic bibs in temps below freezing with no issues. I will be wearing this under a Stratus jacket this year when its windy or below freezing.

A very good fleece lined

A very good fleece lined jacket. I wore it under a hard shell jacket, sitting in a blind, for a week, in Northeast Scotland. It kept the warmth in. I wore it to dinner a couple of nights, without the hard shell. 15 knot winds cut through it. It repels water for brief periods of time. It will not keep you dry in rain, or extended periods of heavy mist/fog. The hand pockets and breast pocket are the right size. The thumb hole on each sleeve is a big plus.

Everything great except no cuffing

Everything great except no cuffing at wrist or anyway to make tighter. Making it useless. I’d pay extra for that. Even if it was like the ambient wrists it would be 5 out of 5.

Excellent jacket. Fits very well. great under a coat or by itself if over 30 degrees. Only complaint is that shipping took waaay too long. Almost 2 weeks when I paid for 2 day shipping which tells me it took Sitka several days to even process the order.

I purchased this Jacket years

I purchased this Jacket years ago as my second piece of Sitka gear in the arsenal. I now have a closet full of Sitka gear and other performance hunting gear and this is still a goto foundational piece. Its on nearly every waterfowl hunt, deer hunt, even everyday wear, its comfortable, warm, breathes well, very durable and its thick enough that a sprinkle or light rain doesn't get you wet. If someone told me I had to only keep 2 piece of Sitka Gear this would without a doubt be one of them (the other is the boreal aerolite jacket... they should have some type of textile awards for that thing its incredible). I can see someone using this for Big Game hunting too but I'm a ultralight backcountry guy and this is a little heavy for my liking .... I have the Kelvin Aerolite Jacket for that application.

Wanted a jacket that would

Wanted a jacket that would work for multiple hunting applications and Sitka hit the mark with this one. I have had mine for over a year now and it has held up to the deer woods, river and swamp for ducks and even use as standard coat for everyday life. Keeps the wind and light rain off you and i find it suitable for temps into the 40's with just a tee underneath. Lower than that i use a mid-weight base layer and have been very comfortable. Mobility is key for me, and this jacket allows paddling of a kayak and swing shooting birds on the fly without binding. True to size, i feel, with enough room for a good layer if needed and not too loose either. One of the first items I got from Sitka, and it's made me a believer in the brand. You get what you pay for!!

Really wanted to love this

Really wanted to love this jacket. Materials and build seem great, and definitely warm. Unfortunately the large was huge on me. The medium fit great, except very tight in the underarms to the point of chaffing just testing it out around the house. Would love if Sitka offered it in Tall sizes to fix this issue.

This is a great piece

This is a great piece for bridging the gap going forward into colder temps where a Stratus or Fanatic Jacket take the spotlight. I would have thought a harness port would be nice for this piece in EV2, as the successor to the equinox hoodie which didn’t have that feature either.

Great hoody. Kept me warm sitting in 32° weather. Only complaint is a lack of a harness access hole so that I can still wear the hood when in my stand. Seems like a pretty blatant oversight for the price.

My second piece for everyday

My second piece for everyday wear (Storm) and as most Sitka gear is very well made and comfortable. Great for those crisp mornings in October and also for wearing around the house when it isn't cold enough outside to turn on the furnace. 5'10' at 185 pounds and the large fits well. I am able to wear this under my large Jetstream Jacket (Tidal/discontinued color) for those windy days when the extra layer is needed. This combination is a little snug on the elbows, but not enough to hinder driving or most other 'everyday' activities. I also own a Traverse Jacket in Subalpine for Ohio Spring Turkey, and its outstanding performance is what prompted me to buy one for everyday wear. You won't be disappointed.

Well made like most of the clothing. For the life of me I cannot figure out why over the years SITKA cannot put a safety harness on their jackets. One of the last brands to do so and now these are offered in EV2 which tells a person that most of the use will be from a tree stand. For the cost of the clothing a design flaw like this is unacceptable.

Awesome jacket for the cooler temps ahead. I love how quiet the jacket is. You can wear it as an outer layer option or use it as one of your base layers and pair it with one of your wind proof outer layers and you will be warm and cozy for when the temps drop.

This piece is my outer layer during Missouri's bow season in October over the Fanatic hoody. I am 6'2 185 and I got the XL out of fear that it would be too tight with the fanatic hoody and it is perfect. I have full draw range with both layers on and am very comfortable in it. It is not a loud material unlike the Traverse pants that 'pair' with it. Usually packed in so that I don't get too hot then is thrown on after it cools off when the sun starts to get below the trees. It is plenty warm for myself even though I tend to sweat a lot and am a warm person in general.
