Great Hoodie/Not Durable

I have several of these, love to wear them hunting and everyday wear. My hunting ones are all snagged up, not very durable material but still function fine.

Good piece of gear for anything western hunting is say

Nothing special about this piece. Solid all the way around but nothing every other company releases. I’ll say the mask function can come in handy but depends on the hunt for sure. A larger fit me well at 5’11 160 but it’s definitely a little roomy. A medium seamed to fit a little too tight for my likening. All around a sold peice that I can see lasting for maybe 3 years give or take

Very lightweight.

Very lightweight. Just enough to blend in and be protected from the sun. Recently used for a Texas Ram hunt and in that hot and humid weather it was perfect.

great full coverage sun protection and face concealment

loose fit, great for hot days in the early season. At 5'9" 180lbs I could have sized down to Med. but I prefer a slightly loose fit for the heat.

This is my go-to for

This is my go-to for early season archery hunts. I usually wear this with the ambient jacket in early morning and then just take off the jacket when it warms up. It keeps the sun off of me and keeps me cool. I really like the built in mask. I am 6'2" 205lbs and always between a L and XL. The L was a bit tight on my shoulders and armpit so I went with the XL and it's perfect. I can even layer a long sleeve under it when the weather gets colder.

Core Lightweight Hoodie

I've hunted everything from elk in September to turkeys in May while wearing the core lightweight hoodie. Whether its worn on its own or as a mid layer. It performs just as advertised on those warmer weather hunts and pulls moisture and keeps me cool. I bought another to take on this year's Wyoming pronghorn hunt. It's my go to top for warmer weather.

Great early season hoodie!

This is my second one of these hoodies. They are great for early season hunts. My only issue with this one was the sizing. The hoodie is slightly larger than one I bought a few years ago, which is a large. I have returned it for a medium, which should fit me better.

Good Fitting Great Feeling Baselayer

I have worn a few times but so far I like it. Fit well. . . I ordered a medium. Doesn't seem to have as much stretch has more merino baselayers but it has enough to move freely. I really like the include face mask. I think it will be thin enough to run my duck call through it.

The Sitka Core Lightweight Hoody is my absolute foundation of my waterfowl system. Made of a lightweight, 100% polyester stretch knit, it acts like a pump to wick sweat away from my body ensuring me to stay bone-dry and avoid a freeze later

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.
