Jetstream Jacket - 2024 Reviews

Jetstream jacket

This jacket is an all around win for me. It is a great outer layer when in the stand but also nice enough to wear casually.

Great fit. Great jacket. I’m

Great fit. Great jacket. I’m almost 6’4”. I thought a XXL would work but a little big so I stayed with what I normally wear. XL.

Warm, comfortable and well designed.

Replacement

The zipper broke and Sitka replaced it with a new one. Great jacket! Thank you

I have this jacket in

I have this jacket in waterfowl timber and liked it so much I went ahead and bought it in ev2 for whitetail as well as buying my daughter one for Christmas. It’s the perfect lightweight jacket to keep you warm and block wind. The pit zips to let air to you on the walk in and out or if you need to cool down a little. One of my favorite pieces and a must have in every system.

Great jacket

It’s great if you get to hot you can open it up by the arm pits to cool off 10/10

Great jacket

I live in a windy area, and this jacket blocks the wind great and the microfleece backer is warm, toss a hoody on under it and it's great down to lower temps.

Great fit, great comfort

Way to loud to bow hunt in.

I received my jetstream jacket today. The delivery was very timely and the quality of the jacket seams to be good. The only problem i see which is a major problem is its way to loud to bow hunt in, like rain jacket loud. I seen that the performance was 3 out of 5 for quietness, but i would say more like a 1 out of a five. I will probably wear this as a mid layer to maybe duck hunt in, or to rifle hunt in. But as far as drawing a bow in with an animal 20 yards from you I would just put your money toward the fanatic jacket and not waste your money on this one.

Jetstream

Little thinner than I thought but a very good jacket and tough. Goes thru brair patches with no problem and no picks. Doesn’t let wind through either.

Nice jacket

Got in ochre love the color

JetStream is the finest

I have a number of the Sitka jackets and this one is more of my business go out on town style. Except for the orange one, that one gets used bird hunting a lot. Hard to not use in the field.

Jetstream VS South Dakota

I purchased the jetstream for a South Dakota pheasant hunt. It provided wind protection, and warmth without bulk. I could not be happier. It was the perfect piece for deer hunting in Southwest Missouri as well.

Great jacket!

Great jacket!

My go to

Light, breathable, wind resistant. It is my go to on every hunt, from bear in the spring to moose in the north of Quebec in octobre. Not as rain resistant as other peaces I’ve got, but it is a workhorse that will keep me dry on almost every occasion. I am 6ft, 200 lbs; a L fits me well but I prefer a XL that fits me loose to layer underneath.

As good as it gets!

No complaints whatsoever! This jacket exceeds all expectations! Every hunter and outdoors-person should have one

Versatile favorite

I’m very impressed with the product and think you will be too. Sitka does it right and this is no exception.

One of my favorites!

Super comfortable and a perfect fit. My new everyday jacket

Jetstream

Best all season jacket! Wear it by itself with the vents open for cooler archery season hunts and layer underneath for mid to late season great coat.

Excellent jacket! Worn in negative

Excellent jacket! Worn in negative degree weather up to 60s! Love it!

Great for mid to late season

I purchased this coat for mid to late season hunting. Coat is lightweight and very warm. Ive also been using it for pheasant hunting with a game vest and works great.

Jetstream

I own 3 of these in different colors, love this jacket.

Best go to jacket

The jet stream jacket is one of my favorite jackets I wear. This is why I have one to hunt in and recently purchased one to wear out in town. Even took it to Ireland and Scotland recently. Great jacket. Not very warm but mainly repels the wind and light rain. Highly recommend.

Love the new exterior material

The newest version of the jetstream has a better fitted cut to it then the previous. I also like the new exterior material. Much quieter and softer.

Sitka Jetstream

Sitka- best damn gear made

Great fitting coat, bought it

Amazing jackets. Works great with the correct layers when cold.

Jetstream Jacket

Awesome Product!

Jetstream Jacket is amazing.

Fit is perfect. Sheds rain like a champ and looks good to boot. Sitka Gear is the best money can buy.

My go to jacket

I wear this whitetail hunting all season. I hunt in Northern IL and with the right layering you can’t beat it!!

Jet stream jacket review

I got this jacket yesterday and went hunting today with it and I was very disappointed I heard they are nice jackets but it didn’t meet my standards I was cold and it’s supposed to be wind proof and was not and I will be returning this jacket

Jet stream Jacket

I bought this jacket to be usd as an outer layer for elk and deer hunting. I normally wear a 2X but purchased a 3X to allow for more under layers. This seems to be great quality and durable which is exactly what I was looking for! Great product!

Jet Stream

I bought it a size up in XXL for layering when needed. Only complaint which is a big one is I can’t zip the zipper all the way up past my neck unless I’m wearing a t-shirt under it and even then it’s very tight. Neck area is very small for a coat that is suppose to zip to chin. Other than that it’s awesome.

Jetstream Jacket

My wife only likes me when I wear this, it’s probably because she can’t see me and I stay very quiet. Saved our marriage.

Zippers

I’ll start by saying I like the jacket a lot. It’s warm and really cuts the wind good. My issue is with the zippers for the pockets and the pit zips. They do not can be a real pain to operate when you are limited to doing it with one hand. They tend to want to hang up unless the fabric can be pulled tight with one hand while zipping with the other. This has proven very frustrating at times.

Need piece

This piece is super versatile. can wear it from 70 degree weather to 20. If it is not my outerwear I wear it with a delta wade. and i usually wear it with a heavy weight jacket.

Nice jacket but has a serious design flaw

I’m 6’ 165 lbs and got this jacket in a large. It fits very well with plenty of room to layer. I got it in the mud color for casual wear, fishing, and occasional use for hunting. Overall, it’s very comfortable and seems to be well made like all my other gear from Sitka. I haven’t owned it long enough to test for long term durability. I tried it out on a cold boat ride and the material definitely meets the windproof expectations. The significant flaw with this jacket is that there is nothing to tighten the cuffs around your wrists. They just hang loose. I wore it while riding my four wheeler on a cool evening and had a constant cold blast shooting up the sleeves due to my arms being extended outwards. It’s a little frustrating because the entire point of this jacket is to keep the wind off your body all because they couldn’t add a simple velcro strap or elastic material to the cuffs. The jacket material is indeed windproof, but the design of the cuffs can allow wind to enter the jacket depending on the position of your arms. I have had little to no issues with Sitka gear, but this design flaw is absolutely unacceptable for the purpose of this jacket. It is also unacceptable for the very high price they are asking for it. I still love the jacket and all the other features, but I don’t know what they were thinking when it comes to the cuffs. Basically, it’s an awesome jacket as long as you’re not holding your arms in a manner that the wind can blow into the sleeves. Normally, I would have given it 5 stars, but due to this very small but crucial detail I am giving it 3. I have read the other reviews and I am not the only one to experience this problem.

Great Jacket

This is by far one of the best jackets I have owned. It fits true is wind proof and the rain runs right off of it. I have noticed going through brush and other cover the jacket tends to pick pretty bad on the outside but I didn't purchase it not to use it. Overall great jacket.

Great as mid-layer or on its own

I have two jetstream jackets, one in blaze and one in marsh. On a recent trip to North Dakota I wore the marsh in the morning under my delta wading jacket in the morning and blaze in the afternoon under my strap vest chasing sharps, huns, and pheasant. Both jackets kept me comfortable in the field the quality is great and they are extremely comfortable. They are becoming my favorite pieces of hunting clothing.

Disappointed

This jacket is overhyped. Wore it in 20-30 degree 2weather with decent wind and no wind. Little to no warmth, didn’t do jack for wind. Fits great but way to thin for what it’s supposed to due and overhyped for performance. Way overrated in my opinion.

Almost perfect

Im 5’ 11” and run about 220 with athletic build. The XL fit perfect through the arms shoulders and chest, but ran pretty baggy around mid section and waist. The material and overall quality left nothing to be desired! It would have easily gotten a 5 star if it wasn’t for the boxy feel around my stomach and waist. I don’t have the option of almost true to size….

old version was better

I purchased the new version of the jetstream in a large tall to replace the old version of a large I wanted to have longer sleeves and longer down the lower back. My old jacket fit super well in the body. The new one fits like a garbage bag. It is the same width from the shoulders to the waist. the old one was tapered. It lets in way more cold air because the body fits like crap. They still havent put velcro on the cuff to tighten it up. and they removed the pocket on the left fore arm. its a great spot for calls and things. The chest pockets arnt usefull for me because my bino harness is in front of them. I was super exited to buy the new one. Super disappointed after getting it. Wore it on one 10 day elk hunt. then I went back to my old jetstream jacket. I might just sell this one and cut my losses. Not sure why Sitka changed there sizing. all the other pieces I have fit well. Not this one.

Cold and Wet

I expected a lot more for the premium price. When the temperature is below 50 degrees you can feel cold air coming through the arms. It's miserable in colder weather. I was caught in the rain once and got soaked to the skin. The Jetstream is about as water resistant as a cotton sweatshirt. You can only enjoy the Jetstream on sunny days. Otherwise you need a lot of extra clothing under it and a rain coat over it. So.... Why buy the Jetstream? Save your money unless you like to be cold and wet. I've found other Sitka gear that performs better.

Sooo Disappointed

I thought I was purchasing a water resistant wind proof jacket, I was wrong. This jacket is California spring turkey gear at best. Fits too small to layer in cold weather. Hunted all winter used it every hunt all season, from -15 to 75 degrees. This is a blue bird day jacket. Zipper cords fell off on the first month waist draw sting ends also broke.

Excellent fit

Was most concerned about fit when ordering…I’m always between large and xl depending on brand. I’m 6’ 1” and weigh 195 with long torso. Decided to order the xl based on some other reviews of similar sized men and this size is just perfect for me. Love the quality construction and wind barrier very comfortable jacket.

The best first line jacket I’ve purchased to date

I am on my 2nd jetstream jacket now. My first one was stolen and I am coming back to the same jacket after the theft. It provides adequate heat on cooler days, but where it shines is the dang thing is insanely water and wind resistant. You would be hard pressed to find another jacket that performs like this one and still maintains the ability to be stealthy in the woods. I would recommend wearing this jacket in temps of less than 40F and above 20F without base layers, with adequate layering I was able to wear it down into -15F with base layers and a hoodie underneath. Hope this helps any buyers!

Very nice jacket

Very nice jacket. The XLT fits me perfectly (220lb 6’3”) My only complaint is I got it in ochre which appeared to be a much more brownish orange in the photos. when i received it it was much brighter and more vivid of an orange than the pictures appeared to be. Not the end of the world, but thought it may be worth mentioning incase someone else was looking at that colour.

Jet stream jacket

I had gotten this jacket for Christmas from my grandparents and got it in the open country pattern and in an XL, I used it for turkey season and I guess mid Minnesota turkey season it blends in perfectly I was not expecting it to do that but It works. It’s a little more water proof than it says, I love the vents under the arm pit for walking a lot. But over all it’s a great jacket.

As with most Sitka products,

As with most Sitka products, really like the Jetstream Eclipse Jacket. The only reservation I have is the vent zipper. It is a bit cold on contact with gate skin, if you’re wearing a short sleeve shirt.
