Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket Reviews

Preliminary Review

I just got a day of view out of it, but doesn’t seem water repellent at all or durable. Already snagged once and I’m literally in a boat. The warmth seemed very nice, I’m just not sure this thing’s gonna hold up and for $230 I would expect it to hold up very well, especially in a boat.

Ambient is undefeated

I used the original pullover Ambient 100 for 3 seasons and loved it. Probably my most used mid-layer ever. Finally picked up the full-zip and it’s every bit as quality as the pullover. The warmth to weight ratio AND breathability is unmatched compared to any other mid-layer. Pick up the Ambient 200 to extend your season even further. Ambient is in a league of its own. I’m 6’, 185-195lb, broad shoulders so I wear an XL. Large in Sitka vests, but anything that has sleeves I need an XL.

Great jacket

Warm in the right way. Fits great too.

Ambient 100 Review

I liked the quality of the jacket and the mobility it possesses.

Great fit and amazing warmth

Great fit and amazing warmth to weight ratio. Super light weight jacket.

Ambient 100

Jacket fit great, but knew the Sitka sizing going into it. Very warm, light jacket for every day wear and the occasional hunting layer. Ordered a large

Ambient hoodie

Warm and soft and light.

Comfort & versatility

This is a great camp jacket. But I intend to use it while glassing too. Warm enough with wind blocking capability. Love it.

Runs large

Nice material. Runs large. 190# 6’1” and XL was pretty big on me. Could definitely layer under it but changing it for a large in hopes of having a slightly tighter fit to use as a stand along mid layer.

Amb 100

Great jacket love the material- fits a bit snug, would like more room in shoulders and longer in the back

Ambient 100 Hooded jacket

Hands down the very best jacket I have ever purchased! I like this jacket so much, this is my second one only in a different color. Live in Alaska and I wore this jacket all winter long!!!!

Ambient 100 Hooded

The inside lining feels amazing. It is a lining and not a backing so you do have two materials rubbing together at times. The overall fit is good. Im 5'8" 215lbs with a 28" draw. I got the xl. The sleeves are a tad long on me but must xl tops are. The cuff helps with that. The longer tall section is nice when sitting or bending. The outer material is not as loud as a puffy and only slightly louder than a fleece mid layer. It seems like it will be somewhat breathable also. The hood has more of a from fitted mid layer style with a stretchy rim on it. It helps keep your peripheral view unobstructed and works well with a ball cap. Its been summer time since I received it so no field experience yet just in my AC cooled home. Its to much to wear for my with just a cotton tee if I'm active in 62+ degree weather. I think this will work great early and late in the day for archery elk hunting and anything else when it's below 60. If it's still as good as i think after using this season then well get a solid color next year for day to day. So far it's one of the most comfortable/cozy jackets I have put on for any brand hunting or not. For now I would give it a 5 start for what it is and intend to be used for. That might change after this season but only one way to find out. Hope this helps anyone out and if not get one for yourself and be your own critic.

Ambient 100 hooded jacket

Awesome quality! Very lite and packable jacket. I'm 5'10 and 200lbs and the XL fits perfectly.

Amazing jacket!

Very light but still very warm

I have worn Sitka for

I have worn Sitka for years 10 plus and counting. I purchase a new article every year. I love the quality and I appreciate everything John Barklow has done over the years with raising the bar each year. It has been very impressive to watch and utilize the great quality in the field. I am a business owner myself with Jointeamhunt and cant thank the Sitka family enough. We appreciate you guys!! Good luck this year! -Cody

Great Product

The fit is great and the fleece inside is very soft. Will be a very comfortable jacket sitting in the tree stand on cool mornings. Is thin enough to layer well as well!

Big duties for Canadians

Sizes run big, massive duties for Canadian consumer. Not sure how to return or exchange and if I will have to pay duty again? Feels like I just wasted 600$ USD plus 180$ Cad for 2 sweaters that don’t fit

Versatility

The Ambient 100 jacket is the perfect piece for cool mornings, or using as a layering piece with the Stratos jacket.

Winter Staple

Very warm jacket. Great for fall/winter use. Could be a bit more durable, compared to the competition. Zipper wore out from one one fall/winter season use. But Sitka warranty is top notch.

Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket

Very comfortable and warm. Is a great mid-layer but will also work well alone in the early season! It is very light and quiet!

Ready to try

Bought for a backing trip in the San Juan mountains. It was highly recommended for this trip. It runs a tad bit small so if you are on the edge of a size I would size up

Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket

Jacket is warmer and lighter than I had imagined. Although the large seemed true to size, it was slightly snug in the shoulders and I decided to size up to XL after trying base layer underneath.

Ambient 100

This is a great Mid-Layer jacket or a standalone in for early season.

Very nice

True work horse

Fits true to size. Super

Fits true to size. Super comfortable and easy to move in

Ambient hoodie

Excellent quality, fits perfect and looks great .

Love it

Warm and fits great. I’m 6-6/205 lbs and the large tall is long enough for my arms but still room for my shoulders. I’m excited about this one.

Ambient Hoodie

Man, I love this hoodie. I have two Ambient hoodies, one Ambient jacket and one Ambient vest and I must say that I love them all. Lightweight and very toasty. Pretty quiet also.

Its great

Best rain jacket i have.

Very comfortable jacket, I wear

Very comfortable jacket, I wear it all the time. I highly recommend it

Not what I expected

The jacket was light and thinner than I expected. It felt more like one of those loose warm-up jackets from the 80s. The outer shell would likely pick on everything and I thought it best to return it.

Ambient 100

Favorite piece from Sitka! So incredibly versatile. Can wear from cool 70’s with the chilly breeze, to low 40’s and be warm.

Great Product

I love this jacket it really fits nicely

Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket

Great jacket! Lightweight and very packable. Very comfortable and very warm. Great addition for early morning Turkey hunts

Intriguing piece, happy with it

The Ambient 100 feels like a niche top but after actually receiving it, putting it on, etc. I could see wearing it all. the. time. It is warm, super-light, and trim but not tight. I ordered a Large and it should be perfect inside waders, under a vest or heavier outer shell, and even alone during turkey season or cold mornings fishing, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I can draw a bow and mount a gun without it feeling tight. For reference, I have a 45" chest and 38" waist (32. 5" sleeve in dress shirts), putting me right in between sizes on the size chart (5'9. 5", 210lbs). Before it arrived, I was worried I should've ordered an XL but for what I am looking for - a high performance, non-bulky mid layer that can be a light outer layer in shoulder season conditions and go on every trip with me, I'll stick with the Large. I wouldn't wear a button-down shirt or anything underneath that would bunch up, but with a shear-fitting long sleeve base layer like a Core 1/2 zip, as I'm planning, it should be great. If I have an initial complaint, the hood stands a little tall but snugs down if I pull it down a bit in the back. Is it dead quiet? No, but it is pretty darn quiet and sufficient for my intended uses.

Awesome jacket, perfect mid layer

Awesome jacket, perfect mid layer and the coziest daily wear. Had an issue with the zipper, sent it back and received a brand new one the same week.

A great utility hoodie

Great hoodie for hunting or work. Comfortable, lightweight, and effective to keep you warm.

Perfect for turkey and early season archery, light and comfortable

Outer material easily tears in

Great Value

Great jacket

This jacket is perfect for early mornings in the turkey woods! Light packable and breathable. Looking forward to using it in bow season as well!

Nice addition to the lineup

I have a Kelvin Lite Down and the old Kelvin Lite Active, and bought this to complement those pieces. This coat is more like a light fleece than a jacket, is lighter than the original Kelvin Active, and is very comfortable. I wear it alone when walking the dog on cool mornings or later it under the Jetstream for cool mornings on early to mid season hunts.
