Good stuff

Deer hunting SE Alaska is high output exercise in high humidity, rain, swamps, wind, and general mayhem. Layering is essential, including stripping down to next to nothing. The hood allows for fine temp control as does the mask/neck-gaiter. If soaking wet, this shirt dries on the body in a few minutes. That saves using extra dry shirts. This shirt is for those who hunt inside a terrarium. Made for high output days in the vertical swamp.

This core lightweight hoody served me well down here in Fl this early season. Great fit & true to size!! The integrated facemask is a very welcome accessory to the top.

Lightweight hoodie

Just what you’d expect, lightweight and very comfortable. I sweat a lot so I wanted something to just keep the sun off me on warmer hunts and it works well for that. Easy to layer on top of with thumb loops. I got both the XL and LT to compare, XL was more comfortable for me at 6’1” 210lbs

Comfortable and fits perfect

I was looking for something that would be comfortable to wear underneath my jacket and this is it. Once the sun comes out, I shed my jacket and this does the trick. Built in face mask it comfortable and doesn't press into your nose like other brands. 10/10, 5 stars, etc

I’ve been really impressed with the overall quality of Sitka! the materials are durable, weather-resistant, and clearly designed with hunters and outdoor enthusiasts in mind. The fit is comfortable and allows for good movement, and the layering system really works in different conditions.

Perfect Fit for Average Height

This did exactly what they said it would. I have a long torso, so the fit was a bit short for me, but I’ll give it credit. It was less short than other brands in this category. For someone who doesn’t need tall sizing, this would fit perfectly. I ended up returning it only because I’m outside this brand’s size range. The material is very lightweight, moves well, and feels like it would perform exactly as advertised. If they offered a tall version, I would have kept it.

Perfect Early Season

I've used the Hoodie twice in my archery stand a three times in the duck blind. It was perfect stand alone top during the hot weather we were dealing with in Wisconsin. With the temps dropping ill be using it as a base layer. The built in face mask integrated with the hood gives excellent and comfortable full coverage. Thank you.

True to size, very breathable and can keep you mildly warm for cooler mornings but don’t rely on it solely. Love the face mask and hood fits great over my hat doesn’t block my view. Not very durable, already have a few runs and snags from the blind so keep that in mind.

Sitka products are always a 10/10. Went by sizing in my other clothing and this is a little more slim fit. Would definitely go with an XL next time. I wear a large in everything else I have from Sitka.

Core Lightweight Hoody is Awesome

We love the core lightweight hoody. We wear this as a vital piece of gear on virtually every hunt we do. It serves us well from the harsh temperatures at both ends of the spectrum from the deserts of Arizona to the Artic in Alaska. Paired with the Core Heavyweight Hoody, and a baselayer underneath as needed, we are able to adjust to a remarkably vast array of conditions and exertion levels. We have used these for many many years. They are comfortable, lightweight, extremely durable and an exceptional value.

Fits great with easy movement. The hood works well to keep breeze off of your neck with a touch of warmth. Great for early season and then with additional layers as the weather gets colder.

A work of art

This hoodie fits absolutely true to size but is not restrictive. Allowing flexibility in the field. It did get warm around mid day, but after removing my undershirt and just wearing the hoodie, I was perfectly comfortable. And this was around 88 degrees. It withstood some rough brush. The face mask and hood stayed on without annoyance as well.

Terrible

Very disappointed, maybe for only using as a base layer it maybe good. But just used it for the first time as my main layer for early season and the arms tattered with strings hanging out and white lines through across the arms. This hoodie couldn’t even handle occasionally rubbing against the tree.

Lightweight Hoodie: The Good and Bad

Archery season opened and I was finally able to try out the lightweight hoodie. It performed as expected in warm conditions. Very lightweight and I stayed cool in the warm conditions. I was really, really disappointed that it did not have a front pouch like every hoodie that has ever been made has. I get it, no need to keep your hands warm but the pocket has other uses. Since I use it for Bow hunting, I keep my range finder in the pouch and it is a perfect storage location for it. Unless it is really hot, I will use my Fanatic Hoodie if possible.

Very lightweight and breathable it

Very lightweight and breathable it holds sent in rather well I have had this core light weight hoodie for like two months and have not washed it at all and have sweat a lot on 90 degree days and the core lightweight does not stink at all after two months of scouting in hot summer weather. The optifade cover blends very well to the north Georgia woods the material snags a little so be carful to not brush up on rough surfaces I really like this core lightweight hoodie I would recomend it as a stand alone layer for early small game season and bow season when it still hot and break it out again for spring turkey.
