SIZE GUIDE

The Grinder Half-Zip was born to pull double-duty for waterfowl season. Worn between a next-to-skin layer and a shell for core insulation or as a breathable, water and abrasion-resistant outer layer. Lofted fleece adds comfortable warmth during long sits in the blind, yet, still breathes during active work setting up decoys while retaining stretch for complete range of motion.

Why We Made This

Hunters have been looking for a durable lighter-weight insulation piece to get them through the rigors of waterfowl season. Our approach was to use the combination of lofted fleece for the interior to deliver core-warmth and superior abrasion resistance technology on the exterior for ultimate durability. A DWR finish provides water resistance from light precipitation that won’t wet-out the face fabric. The high collar delivers warmth and shelter from the wind while the half-zip design won’t interfere with your shots when the birds are in sight.

Good product! Wish it had more pockets!

Perfect layer for warmth in the early season and the material sheds light rain well. The athletic fit provides excellent mobility in the chest and shoulders. Will probably purchase in Timber as well as Marsh to work in other environments. Recommend.

Great mid layer that keeps you very warm.

Works well as a mid layer under my Duck Oven Jacket. I wear a base layer under this when temps drop.

As a mid-layer I love it. It's fitted so it fit very well under my Dakota Hoody when it was cold. Hoops for the arms made it nice for getting my jacket over it. Zipped up it provided good neck protection on a cold day. And as a mid-layer I like that it doesn't have a hoody. I gave it 4-stars, because it got warm and I decided to wear it as an outer layer and I found it to not have very good durability. A day of walking through the marsh and the arms were frayed. The Waterfowl Marsh color is off from the rest, it's darker... minor nit.

I absolutely love this mid layer. It’s the perfect thickness to wear under a coat and then when it warms up you crake the coat off and wear it as a top layer. Fits perfect for shouldering a shotgun too. This and the Hudson bibs are my absolute must have pieces of hunting clothing.

Bought one of these and have found this to be my favorite pullover. I'm 6'4" and 190 lbs. The sleeve length is long enough which is usually a problem for lanky tall guys like me but this one fits perfectly. Quickly ordered a 2nd one in my next order. Wear them all the time!

Another great "base layer" from Sitka. This piece is utilized on all hunts, but the earliest of the season. A very comfortable, soft layer that moves with you. No binding. No cinching. Really nothing else to say for it as it is a basic piece. However, it is a piece of the "system" that truly helps keep you out there throughout the season!

In one word... Magic! Somehow this shirt keeps me warmer on cold days and cooler on hot days. My Grinder half zip is worn every opportunity I get, the most comfortable garment I own, even with the zipper against my bare skin. Love the thumb loops for layering without dragging the sleeves up my arms.

Following the Call: Honoring a Waterfowl Tradition

My love of the history and tradition of the American duck call goes way back. I was eight years old when my parents handed me an old shoe box of calls that had once belonged to my grandfather and his brother. The calls fascinated me, and it wasn’t long before I started my own vintage collection and began attending duck calling competitions. Eventually, I was spending what would become invaluable time with Butch Richenback at his Rich-N-Tone Duck Call shop here in Stuttgart, Arkansas, learning everything he had to teach me.
