Core Merino 330 Hoodie Reviews

Great hoody

Probably my favorite hoody. Better than the fanatic. The fanatic pilled after one wash and pretty much was ruined.

Great base layer

Wore in Saskatchewan for a 6 day hunt. Sitting for 11 hours a day in temps between 8F and 22F gets cold. But these did their job well.

So comfortable. Bought the ev2

Really enjoy this hoody! At first it was a bit scratchy on my skin but after a few washes I don’t notice it. Great warmth to weight and the hood fir is very nice. Would definite recommend this for late season hunts.

Perfect base layer

Not itchy, incredibly warm, perfect base layer.

Large fits perfectly , this

Large fits perfectly , this jacket is way warmer than my fanatic hoody and has replaced it all season. If you’re looking for a lightweight hoody that works all season this is the one .

Critical Layer

Late Fall to Late Winter must have. This layer is the one that you can wear while walking to where you going to sit for a while before putting on a stratus coat or on those cold mornings and evenings I wear this with the ambient jacket as a second layer which keeps you warm but not sweating and during a sit. Those 2 layers are light, warm, and comfortable. The hood on the Core Merino 330 acts amazing for a small layer under a beanie or as an extra layer on a stratus jacket which cuts the wind like no other.

Best hoodie out there

This thing is amazingly warm and when you’re a dummy and wear too much and start sweating, it keeps you warm when you need it, even while wet.

Kept me warm

This hoody is great. It kept me warm on my Kansas hunt under my Stratus jacket.

Awesome

I have only been able to use this a couple times since purchasing but it is super soft and nice warm base layer. Warmer than the finatic hoody and lighter.

Heavyweight hoody. Very warm and

Heavyweight hoody. Very warm and comfortable when used as a base layer.

Great base layer

I love how the piece feels but it also feels cold and didn’t keep me crazy warm for some reason, was wearing it duck hunting in the 20s with a few other layers, but did a great job as a merino base layer on keeping me dry

I wore synthetic base layers

I wore synthetic base layers for years, I won't Go back. Core Marino is the only way to go.

very happy with this hoody.

very happy with this hoody. very comfortable and perfect for early seaon hunts.

Amazingly warm and comfortably. This

Amazingly warm and comfortably. This is my go-to for layering on cold Kansas stand hunts or use by itself for walking draws and ravines. Top shelf!

New favorite

Best layering piece I own. But is perfect as an outer layer too

Great heavier base layer

Really like this new 330 piece and the matching bottom. It is decidedly heavier and warmer than the Core heavyweight. However it is not substantially warmer, specially considering how much more it pricey it is compared to the heavyweight core. The built -in face mask is a good feature and the piece is of typical high Sitka quality. Been using the piece for treestand sits below 32.

Hoody and Facemask Too Loose

Was excited to see a merino wool hoody that functions like the lightweight hoody but it fell short in performance. The facemask does not stay up and constantly falls down as it’s not tight fitting like the lightweight hoody. I had to have my wife stitch it tighter and for the price of the garment I shouldn’t have to do this.

Great fit and warmth.

Too loose for me but

Too loose for me but very comfy. Feels more like a 200 or 250 to me though.

Can’t Live With Out It

Best piece of base layer gear I own. 330 Merino is no joke. Kept me warm in the Wisconsin late season and the fit is perfect. Didn’t think I’d use the hood and mask but it’s money when the wind starts howling.

Absolutely love the warmth and

Absolutely love the warmth and comfort of the Core 330 hoody. Only issue for me was the built in face mask did not stay up in place when the hood was up. If I let the hood down the face mask had enough stretch to stay put. As soon as I put the hood up, the elastic of the mask became too loose and it dropped.

Bought this for late season

Bought this for late season Minnesota deer hunting. This thing is a game changer!! Love it. I should have bought it sooner. Great product very warm layer .

Great Multispecies Item

No matter what species you are going after this is a fantastic item to have in your bag of tricks regarding how to dress for the weather. No doubt about it 99.9% of folks will compare this wool piece to a competitor. I can assure you that this hoody will git the need for you to control body temperature and odor. The quality is second to none and I have found myself utilizing it for deer, turkey, predator, and waterfowl hunting.

Core Merino 330 hoody

I purchased the Core Merino 330 hoody on 11-7-23. I was wanted the Fanatic hoody but thought something heavier would be better fo my November hunt in Missouri. I purchased an XL (6’, 225lbs) to wear over first layer. The quality is excellent. I tried it over a layer to see how it would fit and it wasn’t tight n comfortable, warm, hood fit nicely, the thumb holes nice feature to keep partially hands warm n being a bow hunter I usually don’t wear a glove on my release hand. I do like the hand pockets. I am warm blooded and feel the 330 weight over a wool layer could keep me warm to the 40’s without adding a jacket. It’s hard to find a mid weight jacket that isn’t bulky, and if I can add a layer and stay warm in a tree stand with less bulk to wear it’s a success.

Exquisite Hoodie...Warm Gears

I have worn this hoodie out in multiple adversarial environments, blowing winds...hard rains...the works. It kept me warm and dry and allowed me to make the tough shots I needed to make to get the Job done. Wear it as a casual hoodie out in public or underneath your ambient jacket like I do to experience true comfort at a great price. I am a full Sitka fan and will continue to make purchases when I need fabulous wears at conscious prices to hunt any game or look fashionable in public...I am 6 ft. tall, 210lbs, athletic build: I wear a size Large and it fits true to size and conservatively shows off the gains made in the gymnasium. Buy with Confidence...

Merino 330 Hoody

Love merino wool. Really like this hoody for the most part. Only thing the mask is very very loose and will not stay in place on face, un-like the Fanatic counterpart which does a great job. Don't know if it the material or if it's the way it was sewn in the first place (too much material).

Great new addition

Very excited about all the new Core Merino products. This one is a perfect layering piece under a Duck Oven and Delta Wading Jacket. Thicker material than I expected and very warm. Love it!

The king of baselayers

The moment you pick this thing up you know it's something special. It's incredibly dense and feels heavy. Imagine picking up a t-shirt and realizing it weighs as much as a sweatshirt, that's what the 330 hoodie is like. It's incredibly thin for the amount of warmth you get, its also very soft and comfortable to wear. I love my fanatic hoodie, but when the temperature gets near freezing the thin mesh face mask starts to wet out from the condensation of my breath. The hood and mask on the 330 are made of merino and a bit thicker, I no longer have to worry about my mask wetting out. This piece is so versatile I might have to buy another for everyday wear. I wear a lightweight LS underneath, but its soft enough to wear next to skin if you want. I'm 5'10 225lbs and the large fits great. Another inch or so in the torso would make the fit perfect. Great job SItka

Warmth compared to fanatic hoody

Some what disappointed. Looking for a base layer with at least comparable warmth to the fanatic hood y with better wicking ability. It is not as warm

On The Fence

First - I own roughly 20 pieces of Sitka gear in performance and standard fit. I’m 5’10 225 pounds with a 36 waste. The feel and weight are spot on, but this is not a standard fit. I measured in the width with other standard fit garments and it is 1 inch on each side different. Also, it’s somewhat short. Im likely returning figuring i am between sizes because I don’t need a 37 inch sleeve in 2XL.

330 Merino Hoody is where it’s at!

Hats off to Sitka on this piece! I always loved my fanatic hoody with the think mask built in but the 330 will get a lot more action on cold days in the field. I’ve bought a lot of Sitka gear and normally don’t take time to review but had to provide one on this hoody. Feels a little heavy but there is zero bulk and the inside of this hoody feels like silk!! I’m 6’, 215 and the large fits great (not loose/not tight).

Merino 330

Haven’t got to test it in the cold. Super comfortable and fits great. I love it already, like the rest of my Sitka gear!

Legitimate

Just got this in mail this weekend and I must say this piece is legitimately one of my favorites already. You can tell it’s going to be warm from the weight. Fits perfectly and feels awesome. I think the fanatic hoodie just went on the bench.
