Blackout Fanatic

I have the camo fanatic and love it. Warm, quiet and very comfortable. I can’t wait until next year, I’ll have a blind prepared for the season. The fanatic blackout will be perfect. I may go coyote hunting with the blackout fanatic and use the ol ATN. Thing is super comfortable and warm with the right base layer you do not feel the cold. I have the fanatic camo with the bibs. The jacket for me is a 2XL, the bibs take some room. Very warm combo. If I didn’t have the bibs I’d wear an XL. It is the real deal for cold weather. I would not wear it in on a day that is going to get hammered by snow. Incinerator is perfect for that.

Fanatic Jacket

Well, I've had the original fanatic jacket since 2011 I believe and love it !! Have always wanted a solid color one . . It's very warm and like it a lot. . wondering why you did away with that top zipper pocket ?? Disappointed it doe not have it. . . Love that pocket . That being said all in all it's top of the line quality as always. . Now if you guys would make an early season shell style fanatic with the gore windstopper in both jacket and vest in camo and solid I'd buy a few more. . especially if you made it also in solid

Fanatic Jacket

Really impressed with the jacket considering the size. Have primarily used it so far in nighttime Coyote hunting. With a base layer and long sleeve under the jacket have been very comfortable into upper 20s, definitely stops the wind

Fanatic Fit

The fit and cut of the jacket is very nice with plenty of room in the shoulder to draw back on. The only frustration is the lack of a hood for cold weather sits and winding days. I understand that a hood might hinder a harness but a removable one would have made this jacket a 5 stars.

Fanatic Jacket Review

The jacket does great in cold and windy weather. No problems with feeling cold. Fits prettyy well as an outer layer, but I wish the midsection was a little narrower for me. Everyone is going to fit different though. The pocket layout is great and the side zipper is good it just took time to get used to putting it on. The only downside is I wish it was a little more abrasion resistant. I love in Tennessee and there are briars in most areas in the woods. My other Sitka clothes have a similar issue. I still would recommend this jacket.

The Sitka Fanatics are the best cold weather gear

The Sitka Fanatic line is by far the quietest and warmest jacket and bibs I’ve ever owned. As a deer hunter from Alabama, I love the minimal layering on the coldest days and the venting on the bibs for the warmest afforded by my Fanatics. You can’t go wrong with them!

Offer a Straight Zipper/Hood

This is the warmest hunting jacket I have ever tried. This includes First Lite, Kuiu, Predator, Cabelas/Bass Pro and others. It's warm. First Lite Thermic is very very warm as well. But for me I could never get used to the cross-over zipper. I'm sure that the muff pocket is nice for some, but I don't need it. I would rather have a normal straight zipper. Secondly, for a COLD WEATHER hunting jacket, I have to have a hood. Preferably a zip off hood for a little warmer times but its there as my last line of defense against the cold. Can Sitka make two Fanatic Jackets? Two options? The normal original, and then a straight zipper, hooded option? Thanks

Super warm!! kinda difficult to get used to the cross body zipper but after a couple wears no issues. Last day I hunted it was in the low 20’s that morning and I just had on a light base layer and never once was cold. Super happy with this jacket

Warmest and coziest hunting jacket I’ve ever worn. I went with a 2x at about 6’2”230 lbs. and love the way it fits. It’s a touch big but I love it. Was tired of freezing my butt off so pulled the trigger on this and boy it’s a game changer. I pair it with the stratus bibs rn but I hope to get the bibs to match before next season for those extra cold days. If your one who gets cold fairly easy, get this jacket.
