The redesigned 2019 Sitka Gear's Mountain Jacket, with its two-way stretch quiet brushed Polyester face over 3-Layer GORE-TEX INFINIUM with WINDSTOPPER Form Fit Technology, is considered an all-around mountain workhorse. The fully taped WINDSTOPPER membrane stops convective heat loss, while the DWR finish keeps the face fabric from wetting out. The 2019 Sitka Gear's Mountain Jacket is the perfect lightweight shell to keep you warm on your way to your stand in the crisp morning air, and then easily stowed away when the day warms up. The zippered hand pockets are strategically placed to be above a backpack's waist belt.

TECHNOLOGY

Sitka Gear uses premium YKK Zippers across their product line for their reliability, durability, weather resistance, and quiet operation. They also print many of their zippers with GORE OPTIFADE Concealment for added stealth.

The new GORE-TEX INFINIUM product range has high-performance solutions made to keep you comfortable. Designed for flexibility and functionality to support your active life and pursuits when comfort and performance are the priority and waterproofness isn't. GORE-TEX INFINIUM products' versatile performance and comfort are provided by best-in-class materials, constructions and technologies, from a brand you trust.

GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER products offer complete windproof protection through a durable, lightweight, water-resistant and breathable membrane, to prevent wind from robbing heat from your core. GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER products are available in a range of options from lightweight shells to garments with different levels of abrasion resistance, thermal comfort, stretch, and next-to-skin comfort.

Traditional mimicry patterns based on human vision are designed to look like a specific type of vegetation or terrain. GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is the only scientifically proven concealment pattern based on animal vision to optically fade a hunter into their surroundings. By using advanced blends of micro and macro patterns to fool animal vision rather than mimic a particular shape, GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is more versatile and more effective at getting hunters close to game.

SITKA DESIGN NOTES

Mountain hunting comes with its own unique challenges: cold temps, biting wind, rain, and snow. To tackle these varied obstacles, hunters typically have to carry many different items while trying to maintain breathability and more importantly stealth and traditional soft shells were too heavy and not compressible. Sitka's goal was to develop a single garment that would be fully windproof, water-resistant, lightweight and breathable all within a quiet face fabric. In short, Sitka Gear designed a jacket you can wear 90% of the time.
