Warmest layering hunting pant on the market

Super comfortable and warm for those cold days under bibs and waders. Great for everyday wear just wish they made more solid colors.

Gradient pants

They work well with the waders and they work great without waders. Last used in 16 to 28 degree temps, three hunts with waders and one hunt without. All four times I was warm. Recommend Merino wool as a first layer. The heel cuffs are a great idea, making it simple when doning waders. Fit is comfortable.

Great pants

I think these are intended for liners but work great for an outer layer for bow hunting. They’re quiet and warm. Add a base layer of merino wool and you will be comfy until late season!

So I used to make fun of those bougie hunters wearing Sitka, but I was completely wrong. Purchased waders this season, then added these to complete the package. The Gradient Pants are absolutely amazing. I wear them anytime I am out hunting below zero. . . Super comfortable and warm.

Great concept but not for me.

These pants are perfect for exactly what they were designed for - warmth underneath your bibs or waders. For me personally, the fit just wasn’t there. The LRG was too long and had too much room in the crotch creating bunching and the MED was too small in the waist (I’m 5’10” waist sz 34). I wanted to like these and prefer this style with the zipper than other sweats sitka is introducing but I had to return them.

Great layering pant

Extremely warm and comfortable. The waist could use a little more flex but isn’t bad. The bottom of the legs could be thinner for wearing with regular boots.

Great under stratus bibs

Bought these to late season deer in the mid Atlantic. Just not cold enough for fanatic. These have been great under stratus bibs for deer, and under waders for surf fishing.

Great wader pant

Really comfortable, warm and layers well. Primarily used with my hunt waders but also use as a warm layer beneath some bibs out skiing or sledding. Waist is a little tight, so consider sizing up. . . I got Large and am 6' 209lbs

Great Purchase

Thoughtfully designed, warm and useful. I wear these under pants to work, under bids and waders to hunt, and around the cabin. I wear a 34x30 jean and the large fit me great. They do have a tighter taper at the bottom but that really helps them not ride up at all. Hoping Sitka brings them out in solid colors soon.

Great addition

I use these under my Stratus Bibs and if really cold under my Fanatic Bibs. These allow me to stay all day in the stand no matter what the temp is. These should be added to the whitetail line as well.

Great layer!

These are for added warmth under your waders. They don’t have back pockets for a reason, they are not pants to wear as an outer layer. Don’t leave a bad review if you don’t understand this.

Dislike that they don’t needed pockets

Need to design them so they have back pockets and leg breathers which can be used like pockets.

Sitka is a favorite brand of my father in law and my uncle. My family lives in Kazakhstan, the winter is very cold over there. So, every year I am buying and sending them Sitka Gear. They love it!
