Layering can be broken down into 5 categories: Base, Insulation, Outerwear, Waterproof, and Accessories.

Base Layers:

The goal of base layers is to quickly wick moisture (perspiration) away from your skin and move it to the outside of the gear to be evaporated. Depending on whether you are active or stationary, it can also be used as a first layer of insulation.

Core crew (long sleeve, short sleeve, and Zip-T) – Made with the new Polygiene synthetic technology, these pieces wick moisture better than any other material. They are lightweight, utilize 4-way stretch, and impregnated with Silver to fight odor-causing bacteria.

Merino Core Zip-T – Made with 18.9 micron, circular stitched, super-soft Merino wool, this base layer provides a higher heat-to-weight ratio than synthetics and is naturally odor-free.

Traverse Zip-T (with or without the hood) – Designed as an expedition weight mid-layer, the Traverse material holds in heat and provides a wind-resistant, durable option for a late-season base layer. An anti-microbial treatment will also fight off odor-causing bacteria.


Insulation Layers:

Sometimes it’s cold when you leave the trailhead, but after 30 minutes of hiking you are warmed up or the sun is up and you don’t need as much insulation. Perhaps it doesn’t warm up all day on the stand and you need that extra insulation to help you make it through the day.

Kelvin (vest, jacket, pants) – If high warmth-to-weight is what you’re after, the Kelvin excels. Built with 170g Primaloft Insulation, they are wind-resistant and light. These packable pieces are designed to layer under an outer layer to hold heat in.

Celsius Vest – Discontinued this season, but in stock and shipping for just $99, the Celsius Vest is a perfect companion for active hunting when cooler temps are expected. Lightweight and designed with body-mapping technology, they add warmth where it is needed, but give you the option of shedding a layer when you warm up.


Outerwear:

Designed to be water-resistant, but not waterproof, this layer is what keeps you going in almost any weather. From lightweight, early-season pieces, to insulated, windproof shells for cooler climates, your outer shell is your main line of defense.

Ascent (pant, jacket) – Designed for early season hunts, the Ascent line is super lightweight and breathable, with highly durable and dynamic stretch capabilities.

90% (jacket, pants) – Adding micro-fleece insulation to the Ascent line, the 90% pieces are treated with DWR for excellent water repellency and are built to work with you on tough climbs. The quiet, durable soft-shell finish will keep you dry and comfortable in 90% of the situations you hunt in.

Mountain Pant – Taking the Ascent Pant to the next level, the Mountain Pants are designed with added durability, extra water-shedding capabilities, 4-way stretch for no binding, removable knee pads, and a built-in belt. The Mountain Pants are a bomb-proof hunting pant!  

Timberline Pant – Adding waterproof knees and seat to the Mountain Pants, the Timberline Pants are ideal for sitting and glassing in less than ideal situations.

Contrail Windshirt – Designed to be pulled on to ward off wind, the Contrail Windshirt is windproof and lightweight. It comes with a small stuffsack that enables you to keep it handy in your pack and convenient when you need it. A perfect piece for lightweight wind protection.

Jetstream (vest, jacket) – When you need warmth and Windstopper, you need the Jetstream. Similar to the 90% Jacket and Celsius Vest, with the addition of Windstopper to block even the fiercest winds. The Jacket comes with a built-in hood to hold heat, and pit zips to drop heat when active.

Waterproof Raingear:

When the weather turns ugly, you need a waterproof shell to keep the moisture out. With several options and features to choose from, Sitka’s rain gear utilizes GORE-TEX to ensure you stay dry in any condition.

Stormfront Lite: A lightweight option for 100% waterproof protection. The bells and whistles have been reduced to make a packable, affordable solution for a quality, technical rain piece. Perfect for stuffing in your pack to pull out when the hard rains hit. And as all pieces that bear the GORE-TEX label, they are 100% guaranteed to keep you dry.

Stormfront: Added durability and features are what take the Stormfront line to the next level. The abrasion resistant, breathable, 3-layer construction is designed to keep you dry while you’re on the move. With pit zips to dump heat and micro-taped, laser-cut seams, you’re going to stay dry inside and out.

Coldfront: The perfect marriage of insulation and waterproof. Designed for cold and wet weather, the Coldfront line also bears the GORE-TEX label in addition to micro fleece lining and pit zips.
