Grindstone

We bought Sitka, Grindstone vests & jackets for our employees. After a year the main zippers starting failing, zippers failing in one year is unacceptable for the price of these jackets. Sitka came through in a big way! Repairs were made at no cost, no questions and no hassle. The jackets are good as new! In today's world of big warranty's at point of sale, then when product fails nobody wants to talk, not so with Sitka. The warranty is just like the product, second to none!

work vest review

Great product. very durable, wind proof and keeps you warms while working. Does run small so if you layer - order a size up.

Great all around Vest! I

Perfect to throw on when doing chores outside! I'm a guide at a hunt club so I get a lot of blood on this thing when hunting and cleaning them. It wipes right off! Wind breaking technology is unbeatable!!!

Stylish, wife don’t mind being seen with me in Leica color

Perfect layer with long sleeve shirt and long enough to cover OWB CC. Stops the wind but doesn’t affect mobility! Love it

Grindstone work vest

Really like the vest, just doesn’t fit really true to size, I’m a medium and this medium is super tight on me and not very good for moving around

Grinstone

Here’s a review for your Sitka Grindstone Work Vest – A Serious Layer for Serious Work ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ After putting the Sitka Grindstone Work Vest through its paces, I can say this vest earns its place in the lineup. Sitka built this thing to last — the construction and workmanship are immediately obvious the moment you pick it up. Every seam, zipper, and panel feels intentional and durable, the kind of quality you’d expect from gear meant to take a beating season after season. Where this vest really shines is in wind protection. On exposed hillsides and open fields where a cutting wind can sap your energy fast, the Grindstone holds the line impressively. Pair that with solid warmth retention for a vest, and you’ve got a layering piece that genuinely extends your range into colder conditions without needing to go full jacket. The one honest knock: it’s stiff out of the box. Don’t expect the broken-in comfort of a worn fleece on day one — the Grindstone needs some time and mileage before it really conforms and moves with you. It’s a minor frustration given how good everything else is, but worth knowing going in so you give it the break-in time it needs rather than writing it off early. Bottom line — if you’re willing to invest a little patience up front, the Grindstone Work Vest pays you back with bomber construction, reliable wind protection, and warmth you can count on when conditions get serious. ​​​

Great Material

This definitely won't rip or tear. It is really warm but has good ventilation, so you don't sweat. The Adult Small runs a little small. It fits really nicely. Also, the pockets in it are very warm and useful and in good spots.

Love this vest! Its rugged, warm, cuts the wind, and is the perfect layering piece to take on and off easily. I hunt in this vest and also wear it out and about on the town. Very versatile piece of clothing
