Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket Reviews

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

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.

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.

A great utility hoodie

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

Ambient 100

Perfect for turkey and early season archery, light and comfortable

Great jacket

Used this jacket as part of an overall system with the Jet Stream vest. Very comfortable was perfect for the early turkey mornings. Did not over heat walking out to turkey spots. Quiet matter very nice for hunts. Will be adding this to my early fear season system

Love how it fits, can’t wait to test it out this weekend on opener of PA spring turkey.

Great Value

Love this jacket. My new favorite!

Favorite new jacket

The second I put this on I knew it was going to be my new favorite jacket. It's incredibly light and comfortable but also surprisingly warm. I took it on a bear hunt this spring and was impressed how well it worked through a large range of temperatures. I was also able to hike with it on at mid temps without it being too warm. Awesome jacket.

Very comfortable and warm!

Fantastic for every day use

Fantastic for every day use or for a mid layer on a chilly morning, 150lbs 5”11 medium fits perfect

Need a 3XL

I'm a huge fan of the ambient series. I have an ambient 200 jacket and it's amazing, truly. But I need this hoodie in a 3XL

Great technically… durable as Kleenex

This jacket is meant to be worn under other layers. But even if that’s the purpose just know the face fabric is about as durable as a Kleenex. This will pill if a rough surface even glances in the direction of the jacket. If you were to be around a blue collar person and heaven forbid you are one simply rubbing this with calloused hand would cause this to nearly fall apart. I actually love this jacket for warmth and it is quite versatile but there is something I loathe about high end gear that has to be absolutely babied or replaced after even the lightest of uses if put to the test. Gear has this sliding scale that begin at dirt cheap and also incredibly fragile, then moves to good durability and solid price (ie justified), then it hits the Sitka/Arc’teryx level where you get this high end gear with almost obscene prices however the sliding scale of price and durability instead goes at Mach 1 in opposite directions. This has to be absolutely babied to keep in good condition and could never be worn as a stand alone item. This is use after about 1. 5yrs but zero hard uses and honestly was primarily used as a jacket in winter while commuting. Not sure how this can claim the face fabric adds durability because it just ain’t. If I were them I wouldn’t even mention durability in the description

AWESOME QUALITY

I LOVE THIS JACKET! VERY QUIET AND LIGHTWEIGHT. ALSO GREAT FOR EARLY SEASON BOW HUNTING AS WELL AS TURKEY HUNTING.

Ambient 100

Very warm as a base layer early in season or can be stacked as a mid layer later in season. its so versatile for all applications.

Ambient

Definitely one of the best I have ever owned

Love this

One of the best piece of clothing I have owen!

Great Lightweight Jacket.

This jacket is a nice lightweight jacket for cooler days.

For 350 you’re better off

For 350 you’re better off doubling over your bed sheets. This jacket is so thin I could watch tv with it over my face. I understand the active insulation but it’s not insulating anything.

My new favorite jacket! Fit

My new favorite jacket! Fit is perfect, warmth is unreal and it is very lightweight!

5 star

Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket

True to size, light weight jacket. Jacket is very comfortable and meets the gap when cool mornings hit but warms up later in the day

Most comfortable jacket from Sitka-

Most comfortable jacket from Sitka- adjusts to your body temperature and very warm under a shell.

Light weight, heavy duty

Don’t let the weight of this jacket fool you. It’s incredibly warm and comfortable. It is a great outer layer in mild to cool weather and the perfect layer under the Stratus 2. 0 jacket. If you’re on the fence, but this jacket, you won’t be disappointed.

Like the jacket - sleeve easily tore - NOT durable

I like the jacket very much (it's light and breathable) but was disappointed when the cuff easily tore pulling it on over other gear. The rubber at the end of the sleeves keeps out the wind but is too small for my XL gloved hands to slip through and so tore far too easily -now there is no wind protection on my left hand and the tear is growing.

Great piece of kit!

True fit and comfort

The ambient 100 hoodie could be one of the best jackets I’ve purchased so far. I ordered the Tall version to see if it covered my back down to my legs and it does perfectly without too much length in the front or the arms. Perfect jacket.

Thin but warm

I was amazed how thin but instantly warm this jacket is! Perfect for layering but not wind proof

Ambient 100 jacket

It is a great layering jacket when the weather cools down. Fit the bill just as I hoped

Fantastic Active Insulation

Couldn't be happier. Loved my Kelvin Active Jacket and this is a great replacement.

Great jacket

Great when actively moving and needing a little more warmth!

Great jacket. Fits perfect.

At 6’1 190lbs, the large fit perfect. Great buy.

Ambient hood

By far my favorite jacket Sitka makes light semi water resistant

ambient 100

size runs small but love the jacket

Best layering jacket

The ambient jacket and hoodie are phenomenal. Super warm and great solo or for layering. Wish they were both more available. Roomier enough for muscular upper bodies but not too baggy.

Favorite jacket!!

I had the previous ambient hooded jacket when it initially came out and tended to fray when I wore a pack with it. The new one doesn’t fray or have wear spots after hiking. Definitely recommend since they fixed the quality of it!
