CAT-5 Jacket Reviews

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
