Great Jacket

I received this jacket as a replacement for my thunderhead jacket. I ordered the xxl as I like to have extra room to wear a thick puffy underneath. This coat fits larger than the thunderhead equivalent but is still quite functional and lighter. It’s a bit noisier than the thunderhead but is nowhere near the chip bag crinkling sound of most rain jackets.

Quality

Bought this to replace the one I have had for 6-7 years. Really like the old style way stronger material and quiet when you move. The new style is cheap, loud, and not as warm… would not buy again!!!!

Quieter than the DEW POINT, 100% Waterproof

Great Jacket for rainy day turkey hunting or a early season sit in the whitetail woods. I bought mine in Cover 2 as a Spring/Early Fall system, coat and pants. Quiet enough to pull the bow back with no "crunchy" sounds. Ultra lightweight, and breathable for climbing into the stand or a muggy rainy morning calling in turkeys. 10/10 would recommend.

This is similar in weight

This is similar in weight to the Dee Point jacket, so it’s nice and light. However, it is much less crinkly and noisy. I’ve used it a few times so far and it has been great.

The features of the jacket are well thought out. There is ample room in the shoulders. My wish would be slightly more room across the chest and an double slide zipper.

Downpour Jacket

The Sitka Downpour Jacket impresses with reliable waterproofing and rugged outdoor durability — it keeps you dry and protected even in heavy rain. However, it feels a bit bulky for casual city wear or fast-paced hiking where lightweight gear is preferred.

Watery Pockets

The hand pockets for this jacket are where you'd find them on a typical rain jacket. However, when its raining cats and dogs, and you're trying to keep your hands dry inside of these pockets, you'll notice that the rain drains right down your sleeve, straight into the hand pocket, filling it with water and soaking your hands anyway. If the pockets were higher, perhaps over the chest, then the natural bend of elbow would be the low point, allowing water to drip off without getting into the pockets. I have used this jacket in a literal downpour 3 separate times in the Northern Idaho woods, and all three times, the jacket pockets fill up with water despite my hands being tucked inside nearly the whole time. I typically love Sitka clothing, but for a company that prides itself on their clothing being "gear", this is a fail.

I bought a XXL to fit over everything, including bino harness. It’s always frustrating to me when people list height and weight and how something fits, but never the damn size! Also the jacket and pants both work great, as quite as can be for a waterproof set!!

Good addition to my gear

Originally ordered a large based on my chest measurement 42-43” using the sizing chart, didn’t leave any room for any layering underneath. Ordered an XL and had enough room for layering. Quiet and kept me dry in a moderate rain storm.
