Warm and quiet. I have

Warm and quiet. I have worn this on a few morning white tail hunts in Northern MI and it is an excellent peice. So far have stayed comfortable in 40 degree weather and it feels like it could do well into the 30s.

Probably the peice you’ll always

Probably the peice you’ll always have. UNRIVALED for a go-to cold morning stand hike, all day sit, evening pack out hike (Poconos, PA is all I’ve used it for so far). I had a cool and rare CIF fleece in the Army that was just like this but this Ambient actually stands the test of time, that didn’t. I literally don’t sweat in it, but it’s super warm. That shouldn’t be possible. Great job guys. I sized up to xl for layering, but just get your true size. I’ll prob buy a large in subalpine. It doesn’t need additional layers. Jetstream over top and I don’t think there’s anywhere you can’t go in Northern Tier US or similar. I’m rambling. In short, this frigin thing’s great

Ambient 200 Jacket

This piece is exactly what I was looking for. I can use it as my outer shell on warmer days or pair it with my Jetstream Jacket for when the temps start to drop. The Ambient 200 Jacket is a great piece for all season layering!

Super versatile peice. Very warm especially when static. When you're moving it helps circulate well so you dont sweat so much but still keeps you warm. Quiet and comfortable. Perfect for layer over or under.

Super performance but shy on durability

I found the 200 x-cellent and more of a marvel for minimal weight with superior warmth and breathability. Once Gore can manage to come up with a material that's less fragile, less easy to damage and pill they will truly have an impressive solution to offer attaining a very high bar. The greatest care and luck need to be a function of things for one of these to make it much past two years use. So, not an exterior layer option. And even functioning strictly as a mid-layer, evidence of it going backwards appeared more quickly on the arms, cuffs and along the hem. A size L was the answer for sleeve length alone and I'm 5' 11" and weigh 155.

Awesome jacket

You will see online this jacket is very breathable etc. but I have found it is pretty good in general. Fit great, lightweight, flexible, and is really warm. In Seattle, upper 40s, this jacket was "too warm" when worn under a Dewpoint jacket. . . so I switched to the Kelvin Aerolite jacket (under the Dewpoint) and felt just fine. I would say the Ambient under a Dewpoint would be good sub-40 degree weather but it is not "artic" by any means. All in all. . one of my favorites to wear! I have various jackets from Sitka (and others) and the Ambient 200 / 100 are favorites depending on how cold it is outside. I'm 5'11" and 155 lbs, a Medium is perfect.

Perfect addition

Big arxhery guy from wester PA , I was looking for light, packable and warm to pack and have on those chilly mornings or when that sun sets. And I use it as a layer and then throw my status jacket over on those cold and windy days. This thing is feather light and is super warm, even with the stratus over there is no restriction or noticeable bulk, perfect for drawing back and letting one fly while staying warm and dry.
