CAT-5 Jacket Reviews

Excellent

Used in Alaska for a week of fishing at Tikchik Lodge. Cold and rainy everyday but this jacket kept my wife and me warm and dry the whole time. We both credit these jackets for making a week of outstanding fishing enjoyable. Highly recommend this for serious protection from bad weather.

Held up to Alaska standards

Held up to Alaska standards and guiding in relentless wind and rain. No leaks and is incredibly light weight. Sizing is spot on with this one.

Great shell

I love this shell, keeps you dry, but gives great mobility while casting.

Best fishing jacket!

Wore this jacket in pouring rain in Labrador. For days. . It was like a suit of armor. I love it. One of my clients ordered one the minute we got back on the grid.

CAT-5 jacket

looks and feels great!

Very comfortable fit and has

Very comfortable fit and has the feel like it will outlast any rain storm. First time I used the jacket it rained all day and I stayed dry and comfortable the entire time I was on the water. I especially like the cuffs around the wrists, helps keep the water from working up your arms when rowing and fishing. Has plenty of pockets to keep gear dry and hands warm. Definitely recommend this jacket!

Great jacket, runs huge

I am a large in many Sitka products, but this one is significantly bigger, had to send back and size down.

Wrist cuffs are not tight enough and can’t tighten

Seems like this is an ongoing problem with other reviews. Excellent jacket. But the cuffs are loose, and yes it is the right size, I would not fit in a size smaller. I love the design, they should just have a way to shrink them, or adjust the size of them for that size.

Comfortable coat.

Have not used the jacket yet due to our summer weather. Very comfortable. I really like the Velcro strap to hold the rolled up hood when not in use. The jacket seems a little bigger than my other XL coats from Sitka.

Cat 5

Core Merino 330 Half-Zip

warm and wicks moisture and does not stink

I would give it 5

I would give it 5 stars if you could tighten the sleeves. Really great shell and very waterproof. The wrists dont have velcro cuffs though. If you order a size larger than normal so you can layer the sleeves are too long and go past your wrists. Very annoying trying to work with the jacket covering the hands.

Didn’t like the bibs so

Didn’t like the bibs so I returned these jacket also

Sleeves Need Work

This is an amazing jacket, but the sleeves were long and there was no way to shorten the sleeves or pull them up and out of the way. No Velcro. No snaps. No straps. Nothing. The sleeve would get in the way of tying flies. I returned the jacket!

great fit and great pockets

great fit and great pockets . sleeves are great with tight wrist seals

Impressed

It’s been a struggle to find raingear that is comfortable to be in all day so far so good with the cat-5

Best fishing jacket

The best fishing jacket I’ve used. If you enjoy chasing steelhead in the pacific north west and are looking for a new rain jacket this is the best if found. Light weight but completely waterproof. With fitted cuffs underneath the sleeves. Amazing jacket!!

Great jacket

Have only used it a couple of times so far but it is really comfortable with good range of movement and kept me nice and dry. Hood and collar provide a good range of vision and protection. Seems like great quality like all Sitka products. Only suggestion would for the inner rubber cuffs to be adjustable.

Great product

Fits great. Kept me dry as hell in the pouring rain last weekend

Just received in this and bibs. Simply outstanding

Nothing yet will write a follow up when I have used them. Going to Canada late May. That will be a good test . Jacket fits me great in Xl . Bibs are a little tight in Xl but will work not returning them . 5’10 205.

The new king of bass tournament rain gear

The new standard for Bass tournament rain gear. The CAT-5 jacket is well made and will serve tournament anglers well. This is a well thought out jacket from the pockets, hood, gasket cuffs, and magnetic closures. I’ve owned several different brands of rain gear in my 25 plus years of tournament fishing. The new CAT-5 jacket and bibs are the best I’ve had.
