Hudson Jacket Reviews

Great All In One Outer Layer

This jacket is a great heavier outer layer for frigid and winter storm conditions. I would wear this over bibs or waders. All the listed features work as advertised. The actual dirt color is a slightly darker khaki (more like Carhartt Brown) than the shade it appears online which I think is better for use in the field. The only thing I would say about the fit is I did try this on with my standard frigid layers - grinder hoodie, kelvin light vest, and duck oven jacket, and it was a bit snug in the shoulders and upper arms/elbows. So if you are cold natured and need a lot of layers, I would consider sizing up. I went with my normal size L and am 180, 5-9” with broader shoulders.

You get what you pay for

I have an entire arsenal of Sitka gear and it’s safe to say that you get what you pay for. Also the crocs aren’t too shabby either. Just wished they would make some stickers too.

Great jacket. I’ve only worn it once in sleet/snow mix. A buddy of mine wore it on a separate hunt in similar weather when he left his jacket in the truck and said he needed to get himself one.

Unreal

When it finally decides to get cold in south Louisiana it is absolutely BRUTAL! The wind is almost unbearable! 20 degrees in a boat doing 30mph in the middle of the marsh and i felt literally zero wind with the Hudson on! This jacket and that day made my buddy a believer and is now wearing Sitka!

Great Jacket/Better Customer Service

I have been using Sitka gear for years and am a huge fan of layering gear to be comfortable throughout the hunting day in Eastern NC. I recently had a 5+ year old jacket with a zipper malfunction and returned to the warranty department. Upon receipt they quickly processed the claim and had me picking a new coat as a replacement. I called and talked normal weather patterns in NC and Sitka staff helped me choose the Hudson Jacket. It was a great choice to start the early morning boat rides and also allowed enough mobility to wear throughout long cold days. Waterproof, windproof and not overweight, I am glad to be a customer and to own this Hudson Jacket.

Wish I purchased this jacket sooner!!!

I originally purchased the Delta Pro Wading Jacket but returned it, as I failed to realize it was intended only as an outer shell. I was specifically looking for a jacket that was both waterproof and would provide substantial warmth for later seasons, and the Hudson Jacket has not disappointed in wet weather, cold weather, or any weather. For the fit, I can confirm it is true to size. I am 5'10", 180lbs, and I went with the Large, which has enough room for me to comfortably wear my Traverse Hoodie underneath for those cold morning hunts.

I have had this jacket for several years and I rarely wear it. Very disappointing. An XL was too big and a L unfortunately is too small. Arms are long and tight in the body. It is not warm and very tight if you wear extra layers. For the cost, even on sale it, was expensive for a "windbreaker" with a weird fit.
