I love thi hoodie. I
I love thi hoodie. I used it to turkey hunt, and was moving and belly crawling. It performed well. I recommend as a base layer and as a shirt to were while hunting in warm weather. I love the face mask. It conceals your face pretty well especially if wearing a hot with it.

This hoodie will be a staple in my system going forward. It's comfortable and a great base piece wether it's warm out or it's layered under bigger jackets once it gets colder out.

Not too light, not too
Not too light, not too heavy. It was a great addition to spring hunting! The only issue I found is that when a burr or thorn would snag it, a thread would run out. Needless to say, it was an overall great addition to my gear.

I’ve been really impressed with the Sitka Optifade Core Lightweight Hoodie. The fabric just feels good; light, soft, and not clingy at all. Hunting in the Texas heat can be brutal, but this hoodie has honestly made a big difference in keeping me comfortable out there.

Perfect for hot weather hunting
I previously bought the subalpine but needed new colors to match the environment. These are my favorite to wear for hunting. There seemed to be a difference in sizes between subalpine and cover but they both were great for me. I like to wear things a little loose. Subalpine was 2x while the cover was 3x.

Best hunting overcoat in the World
I have been using Sitka Gear since 2010, and it’s the best clothing for outdoor travel. In my opinion, it has the best-designed camouflage in the world, and the price is not too high.

Great product
The Sitka Core Lightweight Hoodie has become one of my favorite pieces because it works just as well in the field as it does around town. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and breathable, so it layers perfectly as part of a hunting system without feeling bulky. On warmer days, I also find myself throwing it on with gym shorts for everyday wear because it’s that comfortable. The fit is great, it moves well, and it’s versatile enough to get used year-round.
