Fanatic Jacket Reviews

well thought out

extremely warm wind does not penetrate. wish I had this 40 years ago !!! you won't be disappointed. it's big thru the mid-section but it fits thru my shoulders and arms, I don't have a beer gut.....

Tough as Nails

Warm beyond belief!

Great product

Worth its weight in gold!

By far my favorite piece of Sitka I’ve ever invested in. I wore this system from October archery season through late December muzzleloader season and it was the reason I was able to remain in the game during some of the harshest conditions I’ve hunted in.

Very warm, windproof and works with saddle

Finally got cold enough temps this past weekend (upper 20's) to try out my Fanatic suit. I've never been so warm in the stand! I was pleasantly surprised that it also works well with saddle hunting, I was able to make use of the kangaroo pocket with the waist strap unbuckled. I packed in the jacket and bibs, and put the bibs on before climbing. I put the jacket on about a half hour after getting set. All I wore underneath was a set of 120 merino long johns, the fanatic hoodie, and some early season pants. My only complaint would be that the set doesn't pack as well as some other options, but that's to be expected with late season gear.

Fanatic jacket

Jacket is great super warm just wore it in for the end of season for the whitetail season we had below 0° temperature was -20. Windchill kept me very warm. All I had on underneath it Polartec thermal a T-shirt and didn’t feel any wind I’m 5 foot 11, 260 pounds I got the extra large plenty of room

Very Quiet and Very Warm

I am very happy with this purchase. The coat is so warm that in 23 degree weather, throwing a ball for my dog, I got hot. Great hunting coat for cold weather

Better than original

I had an older model of the fanatic coat. I loved that one but the newer version in my opinion, is designed better and just improves on the old design. Can't wait to get back in the deer stand!

Fanatic Jacket

I like the layout of pockets, handwarmer pocket in the front and it's super quiet. After wearing a few times I just don't like the angled zipper instead of being normal middle location. Awkward walking to/from stand with jacket unzipped to get rid of some heat. Also there's no pocket on the left side so if the jacket is unzipped you don't have a pocket to put your hand, gloves, rangefinder, etc. on the left side.

Fanatic Bibs and Jacket are

Fanatic Bibs and Jacket are best whitetail combo possible! Game changer!

Looks promising

I haven't had the opportunity to wear this out in cold weather (single digits) as I got it too late to wear during late December bow season. It seems to fit small, especially if you wear layers under the jacket. Look forward to wearing it next season.

Awesome quality and will keep

Awesome quality and will keep you warm all winter. Order one size up

Amazing!

This coat is everything! I did not purchase this for hunting but instead for other outdoor winter activities. Biking, walking, running, snow shoeing etc. Blocks wind, keeps me warm. It's a work horse! Sitka just keeps delivering.

Your Mother's Womb

I purchased the fanatic system (bibs and jacket) at the start of the 2023 Mississippi deer season skeptical of its true capabilities. I hunt in Northern MS where temps can dip to mid-teens later in the season. The low temps plus a stiff MS Delta wind can test a cold natured individual's patient and fortitude. The fanatic system is the equivalent of being in your Mother's womb regarding warmth and comfort!! Not joking!! I'm a cold natured person and this system has not disappointed at all!! The warmth, comfort, and dependability is unmatched and unwavering. I thoroughly enjoy the level of warmth and cold weather protection you experience without the bulk. I'm a particular, precise, and very difficult to impress person, but have been left speechless regarding descriptive qualities of the fanatic system. Job well done to Sitka and their product development. Looking forward to years of continued use and purchase additional from the Sitka line!!

Excellent system

I got test my fanatic jacket and bibs in Kansas this year for a late white tail hunt. It was excellent for the cold windy conditions that I dealt with for the last week of Kansas bow season. I highly recommend the fanatic system and the proper Sitka mid and base layers to go with it. I was comfortable my entire hunt. The fanatic jacket and allowed me to sit long and comfortably.

Beat the cold

I used the Fanatic jacket, bibs and neck gator for a late season elk hunt. The last three days were single digit highs and windy. This stuff works. I sat 2 and a half hours in the mornings and evenings. I have been hunting in these temps for 40 years and I have never been so comfortable at 4 degrees.

Great jacket

Very warm late season

Very warm and extremely comfortable late season in Iowa. Late muzzleloader in Jan and stayed more than warm on a 3-4 hour sit. Could have gone much longer.

Awesome

Awesome

Quiet Heat

It’s warm, and quiet. Absolutely loved the late hunts with this. And for the size and warmth, it was very unrestricted too

Warm

The design is great and the jacket is really warm. I would recommend buying the Neck Gaiter as it gets a little drafty near the neck without a hood attachment. The Fanatic Jacket and Bibs are amazing overall.

This jacket is plenty warm

This jacket is plenty warm for conditions as low as 20-25 degrees with just two layers under it.

Should come with warning label

Should come with warning label because it is so warm and comfy you might go to sleep

Very pleased

Well worth the money

The way the jacket is put together is absolutely perfect. Pockets, material, and comfort is top notch. I’m 6’ 3” 210lbs and I had to get the XXL. The XL would’ve fit just fine if you didn’t wear anything under it.

Perfect fit. Very warm down

Perfect fit. Very warm down to 15 degrees.

My son loves this jacket

My son loves this jacket more than the vest! Very warm. Don’t make noise. Took a bit to get use to the zipper placement but now it’s one of his favorite features.

The must have gear for

The must have gear for colder hunts. Solid features and pockets and is very warm without excessive bulk.

Fanatic Jacket

Well made and unbelievably warm. I wore the Fanatic jacket and bibs this year in 30 degree weather with windy conditions. I was not even a little bit cold. I ordered a size up than normal for me to make room for layers of clothes.

Absolutely love all of my

Absolutely love all of my Sitka gear, awesome quality! Best money can buy!

Outstanding Performance

Bought this for late November and early December deer hunting in Minnesota. This year started off warm but I was finally able to test the jacket. 30 deg with a 5 to 10 mph wind and it worked prefectly. Never felt the cold or the wind. The front pocket is the best. I wear light gloves so I can feel the trigger. Never need to put hand warms in there. I will be using this during coyote season so hoping to test it in the 0 - 10 deg temps yet this year. I would recommend this to anyone that hunts in a stand in Minnesota temps.

Warmest hunting jacket I have

Warmest hunting jacket I have ever worn. Not so big on the main zipper but I understand the functionality

Fanatic jacket

Once the weather turns cold . This jacket is the answer. The built in front pocket for keeping your hands warm on a long sit. The super soft material is comfy and quiet.

Fanatic Jacket

Warmest thing I own. Wore it in 20+ mph winds and didn’t feel a thing.

Very warm and comfortable. Hunted

Very warm and comfortable. Hunted in 14° blinding snow and was warm the whole time. Layering system is also important for this to work.

quiet and comfortable

great gear. on them cold windy days its warm and quiet. i can get deer to talk right under me and not hear me pull my bow back. only thing if anything would be if the arm length could be about a inch longer... but i do have long arms so i cant complain. all in all the gear is worth the money.

Best jacket I own

Super warm and ultra quiet. Everything about it was well thought out and placed.

Good stuff and warm.

Needed a solid bow hunting jacket for sitting in cold weather without needing to layer underneath excessively. Quite material and good range of motion to draw back appropriately. Highly Recommend
