Kelvin Aerolite Jacket Reviews

Great Lightweight Jacket

I use this for hiking and everyday wear, but I will definitely be taking it with me to Montana on my upcoming elk hunt. Fits well over a t-shirt but also has plenty of room to fit over other layers for much colder weather.

Initial review

Fit of jacket was as expected. I purchased for expected Montana Mule deer hunt in November 2024. Hopefully it fills the needs of the hunt.

Best Jacket I have ever purchased.

I have two of these jackets, one for going out with my wife (solid color) and one for hunting (camo). They are incredible in terms of how warm they are and how small of a space they pack into. They run perfect to size - I am 5 feet 10 inches tall and very slim - I am in between medium and large. For going out with my wife, I have a medium. For hunting (where I layer underneath), I have a large. Truly the best jacket I have ever purchased.

Aerolite Jacket

Glad to see Sitka finally use a top tier Primaloft product instead of tier 2 and 3. In other pieces Sitka has used tier 2, 3, and even 4 Primaloft, while keeping pricing at premium Primaloft dollars (increases margins, but not wise customers). I have many Sitka pieces for many different pursuits, and have had to use competitors for superior insulating pieces. This aerolite jacket has potential. It is lightweight and warm, but not a wet environment replacement for a down puffy for brutally cold days and/or long sits. The fit is also a bit baggy, even over a base and heavyweight mid/base layers. I am 5 10, 195, 44 chest, 32 waist. Intended use is late season waterfowl, spring turkey and bear in high country, and caribou/moose.

Good puffy jacket overall.

Form and fit good, insulation adequate for a light puffy. I do not like the bulky, never-used cinch cord attached to the back of the hood is very annoying as it is on every Sitka Jacket.

Great Jacket

This jacket is incredibly lightweight yet super warm. Just got done with duck season in California and couldn’t be happier with the purchase. Wore the jacket and thin merino wool base layer and was plenty warm at 42-45 degrees. Had to unzip when setting up decoys as it got a little too warm.

Super light and warm

This jacket it very warm , light and comfortable but it's basically made of paper and rips very easily when worn as the outter layer . If you're going to purchase this as an outer layer I highly suggest buying a patch kit and leaving it in the jacket because you'll need it.

This jacket is very light, very warm and very comfortable. But the down side is that it is basically made of paper and rips almost instantly when out in the field. I highly suggest this jacket gets sold with a patch kit because you will need it .

I bought this for myself because I preferred the color and this particular style over the women’s. My husband had it and I had worn it a couple of times when I forgot a jacket. Got it in a medium and love it.

Light weight and warm.

I found this jacket for around $150 which is at least 50 percent off. I love it for that price point, but if I had paid the full $325 it normally goes for I would be disappointed. $325 is too much for the weight and warmth of this. As with all Sitka gear, it is well made and fits great and with the sale made this Item a ggo buy.

I had a high country hoody for the last 3 years, very similar. It was my everyday jacket in the winter months, absolutely amazing light weight jacket. Now, I wear my aerolite just as much, from -10 to 40. This jacket performs! Very highly recommended!!

Great jacket, worst zipper

As much as I hate to put a bad review on a product, sometimes we have to, otherwise manufacturers won’t make improvements. This jacket has a lot of positives, it’s light, comfortable, excellent wind protection, mobility is great, it just feels great when wearing it, then why my 3 stars, the zipper, it just constantly gets stuck on the upper section of the fabric every time I have to zipper it up all the way, it happens so many times that today I just ended up ripping it, I hope Sitka look into this and make improvements, because other than that it’s truly an amazing jacket; but the skinny stupid zipper ruined it for me. I can’t recommend it because of this, maybe other people didn’t have this issue, but this is my honest review. I own lots of Sitka stuff and I will be reviewing them soon, most are top notch stuff.

Warm jacket

This is an excellent jacket. I recently wore it underneath my Jetstream jacket on a very cold (~20 deg F) and windy (10-25mph) day, the two are a winning combination together. The aerolite jacket barely feels like it is there, it compresses down to a minuscule size when you don't need it, and has just enough features to be immensely useful. I would not wear it as a standalone jacket, as that would not be a good use. As a light insulating layer you can keep with you for when you really need it, it excels.

Best jacket ever.

I'd spent a long time comparing other brands for equivalent jackets (MEC, Arc'teryx, North Face, Patagonia, etc.) and just had a hard time accepting the price vs. quality, as I own products from all those brands and have never been amazed by the quality. After learning about Sitka and hearing friends rave about how good their products were I decided to give it a try and found a great deal on a boxing day sale. I work in film and will frequently spend upwards of 12hrs outside in all conditions. I've worn this jacket everyday for two weeks since I got it and I absolutely love it. Keeps me warm without overheating, very slim fit and not bulky at all (perfect for layering under my rain jacket), and it doesn't have down which is huge as one of my coworkers has an extreme down allergy! If this jacket ever wears out I will definitely be purchasing another. The ONLY complaint I have is that the jacket wasn't on sale in black, which would have been ideal for my industry, but I do really like the colour I got.

Very warm and compact but……

The coat does all that I want it to do but it does stain fairly easy. It may have been the color I chose but still I wish it would not stain so easily. I would recommend this coat to anyone wanting a coat for their pack and some lightweight warmth.
