Great Vest

This vest was exactly what I wanted. It blocks the wind and it is the perfect layer or outer layer for cool days in the field. I really like the pockets in this vest. Looking forward to using it this fall when in Canada hunting.

I love this vest. Fits

I love this vest. Fits true and is very comfortable. Its not to heavy or to light. I use it as an extra layer when it's a little colder morning with warmer day temps. Thanks.

Dakota vest

This is my favorite piece of Sitka I own. I wear it in the duck field daylight to dark and have another one I wear out on the town. Superior quality and comfort. I would rate 6 star if I could

Great vest!!

Bought it to be a mid layer and I really like the fit and quality, I wear it all the time when outside. However, I wish the Fahrenheit would come back for my needs.

Great vest

Fits well, 5,11”, 195 athletic build, ordered a large and fit was great. I am usually between sizes and find the large does better than the xl since the ck will have a lot of extra space in the mid chest

First week I had it I caught on fire being drunk and poring gasoline of a fire. Was really shocked she didn’t burn through and withstood the fire and I’m still rocking her to this day.

The Dakota vest is great. It offers a great amount of warmth to the torso while allowing you to be able to do the things you need to do with your arms.

Don’t like material…collar sewed crooked a bit so won’t lay flat. Just my opinion, would not order it again.

Workhorse of a vest

What is a year or two ago. This is a workhorse of a vest. Originally I bought it for waterfowl hunting but use it much more as in every day work vest out on my property. It’s been put through the wringer and still going strong Size L

I purchased this as a layering piece for duck hunting (timber pattern) but it also works great in a tree stand in South East US. Very durable and warm, but not too warm to sweat in while hiking into the woods.
