Very well made jacket. Does everything it advertises for. Love how silent it is. I’m 5’9” 170lbs, I ordered a Medium, probably should’ve ordered a Large but it still fits well enough. May not be able to layer up too much.

I will say I really enjoy how light and packable this jacket is, runs true to size, and is offered in a ton of great colors. This replaced the kelvin lite hoody, but I find myself going for the kelvin lite more often as it's way warmer. The kelvin lite was my favorite piece of gear. I hope we can get a warmer version of this jacket similar to the kelvin lite synthetic that has been discontinued.

By far the best jacket i have ever owned. light weight, yet very warm for its size. Stuffs easily taking up little real-estate in your pack. I've used it down to 14 degrees F, glassing elk, layered with a traverse hoodie and bibs and a jet stream jacket. Worked very well. Anything much colder that that and I would recommend adding another layer, or getting a bigger jacket. Extremely pleased with the performance of the Kelvin Aerolite Jacket!

This jacket is very nice. I bought 2 lol. One for everyday wear and one for hunting. It is a little noisy compared to other jackets but not noisy to where deer will hear you. It is extremely warm. It's very comfortable. Fits very nice as well. Packs down real nice too so if you want to pack it in so you can pull it out if it gets chilly it takes up very little room in your pack. Great piece.

Really nice jacket. When you put it on, you think it can't be that warm because it is so light. A few weeks ago, I wore it for about an hour on the high hunting seat of a vehicle going 50 MPH on a cool night in Africa. The wind resistance was great and I did not feel the slightest chill. I am looking forward to using it this fall on some cold weather hunts I have planned.

I used this jacket on a combo ski/fly fishing trip in April to Breckenridge Colorado and on the Gunnison river! The weather was all over the place! From a blizzard to a sunny 30 degree day in the mountain. Great packability into my daypack on the river was awesome! Thanks for a great product!

Since purchasing I have worn this jacket as my outside layer over my sitka hoodie. I fished Pyramid lake on a ladder in the open with 26 degree temps (in the morning up to 45 during the day) and a 7 mph wind. The jacket kept me warm and comfortable. The hood came in handy when I needed some extra protection from the wind. It also came in handy fishing in the snow in upper Michigan for steelhead. If you are battling the elements and want a top notch jacket, this one will work for you.

This is probably my most favorite peace of Sitka gear I own. Hands down the most comfortable jacket I've ever worn. I hate to take it off, and even want to sleep in it. I have it in 2 patterns so far and will probably have a couple more before its all said and done. The Aerolite is a great hunting jacket on its own, great casual wear, packs down incredibly small, light weight, and can be layered easily. If you have a 20 degree sleeping bag but want to hunt/camp later in the season, don't buy another $500-$1000 0 or - degree bag, just sleep in this jacket! Look, I'm as cheap as they come. I've tried almost every brand of hunting clothing out there and if I haven't tried it, I promise I've spent countless hours researching it. I'm the kind of person that will spend 4 hours researching a $20 product and comparing it before a purchase. I can say with absolute certainty that Sitka is the BEST clothing line on the market. Not just hunting clothes, but best overall. Their clothes are cozy, durable, and designed to keep you extremely comfortable with minimal layers and bulk. You can buy other brands and replace them every few years, or buy Sitka and your set for decades if not life. Buy once cry once! Bottom line is this isn't clothing, its equipment. More than that, it's equipment that could quite literally save your life in the back country. Once you realize that, the price is absolutely justifiable. I trust this company so much that I will buy their stock if they go public and I'd quit my job to work for them if they have an opening. That is how much I believe in Sitka.

Very warm. Warmer than other “puffy” jackets I own. Need to layer against wind. Like that it works when wet (although it’s not meant to be water resistant). When I have the hood on it feels like a I have heater installed in the neck area. Surprisingly thin but gets the job done. I’m a smaller build barely registering in at 5’7, and it feels a bit baggy (size:M) for me (not fitted) but still fits fine. Thankful for finally having a go-to warm jacket.

Excellent quality and warmth. In fact, the coat is so warm or efficient, I only wish is that it had pit zips! it would be a solid FIVE stars! Everyone should have one of these in our pack, it's versatile as a stand-alone jacket or layering system. Great product, Dave

I own multiple pieces of Sitka clothing and am please by the performance of most of the gear. Some items do not fit as I would expect / hope and that has been a source of frustration. When it comes to this jacket, I am the most pleased that I have been with any piece of apparel that I own. Light weight, well-fitted, warner than expected. This jacket has supplanted much of my gear as it serves multiple purposes and is just an awesome jacket! Could not be happier with it!

I love this jacket. Im 5'8, 215lb and an XL fits me like a glove. Range of motion is great and its super warm. However, it has two fatal flaws. I live in Wisco and even in the lightest snow with my body heat, it is water logged and worthless. A little DWR would have gone a long way. And finally, this is the flimsiest material of any jacket Ive ever owned. I've had it two seasons now, worn mostly for dog training and commuting to work. (For which im not going to layer a shell over it). Occasional late season pheasant hunts. It rips constantly. I frankly cant believe this is marketed as hunting wear, because if you can't take it on light duty woods hikes with dogs, you certainly couldn't take it whitetail hunting in the sticks or for a week in the mountains. To be fair, every other piece pf Sitka gear I have is super durable and top notch. But this has been repaired several times and is now a $300 piece of garbage.

This is now one of my go-to jackets. Works great as a lightweight mid-layer underneath a shell for cold waterfowling days or just around town. Not a jacket to wear as a single piece on super frigid days, but not designed to be either. I'm a stocky 5'11 and it was great to finally find a size L I could fit my arms into without feeling like a human sausage. Tapered ends of the sleeves prevent bunching and bulk under a shell, jacket still provides excellent range of motion if you're swinging a fly rod or a shotgun.

Awesome jacket. I'll explain 4 instead of 5 stars in a minute. This jacket fits to size, is very warm, and extremely light. I'm not sure how it is this warm (I live in Alaska) and remaining so light. Will be a great inside layer underneath Sitka's great rain gear. The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is the outer shell is not very durable. On the second time I wore it, the outer layer snagged and a small tear occurred. You would not want to wear this as an outer layer in brushy-type country. Other than that, awesome jacket!

This is a great jacket, the fit is athletic and it breathes very well. It also looks good and moves easily. I really like it but it has some shortcomings.The jacket material stains easily from any type of oil whether from just wearing it or being around equipment, and the elastic cuffs pill quickly. It does a great job keeping you warm into the mid to low 30s and It’s awesome for being active. I give this jacket four stars because it on par with competitive insulated jackets but the material used stains easily from oils and can be challenging to clean. I recommend either getting a darker color like black or a camo pattern to hide the inevitable stains. The elastic material on the cuffs also pill easily but I think that is to be expected with the more delicate materials. The jacket material seems durable enough and I have no complaints. It has survived a few swipes from my bow string and hasn’t had any issues with abrasion from packs or other tasks which is great. I am happy because mine is black and only the inside gray has stains from body oils. TLDR: great design and fit, stays warm, breathes well, tough materials, gets dirty easily, would recommend to friends with managed expectations. Expectations are higher for Sitka.

I’ve had this jacket in blue since about August so 6 months approx, and used it in all types of weather and situations. It’s nice enough to wear to work, out in the cold or light weather. It can be worn beneath or over layers, it’s flexible. It packs down well and was ideal on a recent Ireland trip when I only wanted to pack ONE jacket. It’s pretty near the perfect everyday jacket IMO. It’s my one Sitka pc that isn’t for hunting- so I was skeptical. It’s warm in the fall but not too warm to wear inside (like in the truck) where other jackets would have me peeling off layers. It breathes well.I like both long and especially short sleeves underneath and it downs make my arms sweat. I love it and found a smoking deal on sale and pulled the trigger, I’m so glad I did.

The Kelvin Aerolite has exceeded my expectations. It is an extremely warm jacket that folds down to almost nothing in a pack or suitcase. It breathes very well for a puffy style jacket, and the hood makes it very versatile. Add a shell to it and you’re comfortable in sub 0 temps. I bought the black color for my daily wear and I’m ordering a subalpine for my long sits next year in the late season. I highly recommend this jacket.

Alongside my Apex Hoody, this is my favorite piece of Sitka gear that I own. I was lucky to find it at the price that I did at the time, but you really are getting a fantastic product for $300. This is my go to jacket and has been most of the winter since I first got it. EXTREMELY lightweight and packable, this thing barely feels any bigger than a light hoody, but functions as good as many of the other puffy jackets I've owned. In Utah, the winters get pretty gnarly and this jacket has done great. On the days I've needed a little more, this jacket has been able to slip over and work well with just about any other Sitka jacket that I own. Looking into buying another in a different color so I can save my subalpine one just for hunting. The ONLY thing I would change about this (not a complaint, more of a thought) is to give it a facemask similar to the traverse hoody. I end up using a gator quite a bit, but ultimately that hasn't and won't change my opinion of this jacket. Absolutely recommend this product.

Very nice jacket. Good quality, very warm, good features, and all around a solid jacket. For my preference, this jacket has an ideal balance considering weight, warmth, packability, and durability (it didn’t seem fragile like other “lightweight” puffy jackets). BUT, I had to return it due to the cut. I have a fit / muscular physique, I need an XL in most jackets, and while this jacket fit great in my arms, shoulders and chest, the abdomen portion was huge, like it was cut to accommodate a good sized beer belly. Would have easily been my favorite piece if it wasn’t for the cut. Sitka took it back no problem, I just had to pay return shipping.

I spent a lot of time researching different brands for a lightweight insulated jacket to wear in temps 30-50F. I have the Kelvin Down jacket and assumed the sizing would be similar, however was cautious because some reviews mentioned how much room there is in the mid section/torso. I ended up ordering the same size (large). The fit is not as athletic as I was hoping, however the length of the sleeves and length of the jacket are fine. I can confirm that the mid section is a bit roomy, I wish it was more tapered. For context, I am 6'3', 170 lbs with a 32in waist and the large works just fine. It's a very warm jacket and I've worn it with temps as low as 26F with just a t-shirt on and was perfectly warm. The details on this jacket are superior which is what I have come to expect from Sitka.
