This compresses really well for storage / transport. Worn underneath a Jetstream jacket (that needs sleeve cuffs), you can sit cozy for Deer in December.

Awesome jacket. Light, packable, warm and comfortable. Regulates temp well. Exchanged Kelvin Aerolite for this one, it handles the wet cold much better. Went with the XLT - needed the extra arm length when layering.

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.

Lighter than I expected
I wanted another layer of wind protection under my Blizzard Parka. More is better in 20 degrees 25 ft up a tree in snowy Ohio deer season. It is not bulky and fit over my insulating layers. Could be stand alone in the fall season. I had many layers for sitting all day in the tree. I accomplished my goal and was glad I had additional wind protection

Great for Hunting and Everyday
Bought this jacket to have as a high-heat midlayer when hunting, but have ended up using it almost daily throughout the winter for everyday wear. Love its warmth while being extremely light and soft.

Perfect for Midlayer
I've had my Ambient jacket for 4 years now and it is my go to for a midlayer both fall and winter here in Alaska. Its been on many hunts and trips and has never failed. I even use it for everyday use. For how light it is it sure is warm when worn as a midlayer. I'm buying another one cause this on I have is getting too loose on me and since i've lost a few pounds!

Best Jacket Ever
My Ambient 200 Optifade Elevated II is the most versatile and effective jacket I have ever owned. Worn by itself it provides amazing warmth and with appropriate base layers it keeps out the cold from mid 20’s and above. It is extremely light and comfortable. I paired it with the Stratus bibs. Looking to get a non camo color to wear outside of hunting activities. Sizes definitely run small. XL was perfect for me.

I love the whole ambient line
I own the entire ambient line. From elevated 2 to subalpine to solids. Got the 75, 100, 150 and their 200. Best jacket ever. They need to make a pair of pants out of this material for an insulation piece. I recently bought the first lite navigator pants that looks like it’s made out of the exact same material as the Sitka ambient 100. I can’t wait to use it under my stratus bibs. I’m size L in almost everything Sitka brand. This fits true to size.

Toasty + Trim
Great warm midlayer. Fits like a glove with a thin merino or merino blend base layer underneath. Nice and trim but I have full range of motion when fully zipped. Nothing "pulling" or constrictive. It moves with me. True to the size chart unlike other brands. Fits perfectly under my current generation Jetstream I bought along with it. Both jackets are Size M. At first I thought the Ambient 200 was a bit snug but it fits properly for the kind of layer it is. I'd say I'm at the high end of Medium with around a 41" chest. As others have written: the face fabric doesn't seem bulletproof. But it's not meant to be, it's not a shell, and the thinner fabric allows it to breathe. I wouldn't be running through the brush and leaning up on rock with it alone. I also wouldn't wear it in a city with a ton of brick and cement or abrasive walls. Great jacket. Highly recommend if you're in cold temp and plan on moderate movement and need insulation under a shell. A+

Perfect cold weather jacket
I have now used this jacket several times for 2-3 hour sits in 20-30 degree weather, including windy and snowy. At the coldest, I wore a heavyweight baseline and Ambient 200 under this. On a warmer day with a hike, I wore a heavyweight baseline, aerolight vest and jetstream jacket. When I got to where I was sitting I pulled out this jacket and threw ie on over everything. Not a bit of chill. The only (expected) downside is it is not the quietest fabric. That, however can be mitigated by reducing your movement. I would not wear it on a stalk for this and the fabric catches on twigs and such. Lastly, they dont explicitly say it but the jacket can be folded inward into the dump pocket to fit compactly in a backpack. You could get it even smaller with a stuff sack, for sure.

Objective ~ source the best possible midlayer
I'm 5' 11", 155, have a 39" chest with a standard shoulder build and a 1" greater than average wingspan. 35" to 35. 5" sleeves are preferred. Size L was chosen for the sake of sleeve length, to build in latitude with underlayers plus be assured the neck area didn’t prove too close fitting when fully zipped up. This element I find real, no hype and something that honestly shows up. ~> The 200 delivers in the warmth dept and breathes in a great way on the errand of regulating comfort well over a broader range of temps and conditions. It's proven a solid success in those respects. Care is brought with its exterior so it stands the best chance of hanging in and serving faithfully through multiple seasons. ‘True to size’ was selected. But without actually experiencing a size M my sense is that I land in the middle between sizes.
