Kelvin Aerolite Jacket Reviews

Great Jacket

Great Jacket

perfection

the perfect layer! warm but breathable, super comfortable.

Love/hate

I normally have a love hate with Sitka, always in the collar area because of my beard. This jacket I do not, I have found it perfect for low 40’s with only a t-shirt underneath and put a hoodie underneath and was comfortable right at freezing and low activity. I’d have to say, my favorite jacket. I plan to get one in a solid color for everyday wear.

Great lightweight warmth

Easy to pullout and toss on when additional warmth is needed. Seems to be warm when wet also.

WOW

Love this jacket. Fit is perfect and the warmth and windstopping is perfect for a packable jacket of this size.

Light and warm

I purchased this to primarily wear as a layer and it worked good. Cutting off the hood made it great

Great camo pattern - great

Great camo pattern - great fit - blocks the wind - very happy with the jacket

Awesome jacket!!

Really enjoyed this jacket during the later part of November hunting in Alberta. On the colder days I’d pair this with the 330 merino hoody and a Jetstream. Very warm for a light weight jacket. Hardly notice it in your pack when you take it off. Another great Sitka product!

Excellent

Warmth to weight is excellent. Don’t go breaking brush with this but it’s great as an everyday jacket, outer layer when stationary or mid layer. 6 foot, 220lbs and XL fits perfect.

So light and warm

I photograph birds out in the Michigan elements and this coat is my new go to. I was always a lover of puffy down insulation, but this has made me a believer in this new technology. I love everything about it- especially the hood I can pull up when the wind is coming from behind me.

My kid won’t give it back now

I bought this coat for me and my son used it during our rifle deer hunt. He loved the coat so much that he won’t give it back! This coat is light weight, packs up nice and small and is very warm. Love it and will definitely buy a second one for me.

Extremely light and warm

This jacket is well made and very comfortable. The shell is soft and can be worn on the outside or inside an outer shell. I bought the xl tall. It fits my long arms well.

It is a bit “whoosh”

It is a bit “whoosh” sounding, so it is not quiet to but it is warm. I wear a size large in clothing but like normal with Sitka always order a size bigger than you wear in regular clothing

Excellent

I am very comfortable with the jacket and also very waterproof and windproof. Very good for up north in Nunavut

Is perfect

Is perfect

This is by far the

This is by far the most wearable jacket I have ever had and the warmest

Great jacket

I bought a size larger than usual. I use it while glassing so I like to toss it over the layers I use for when I’m moving around.

Exactly what I was looking for

I bought this for later season upland hunting. I wanted something lite, warm, easy to move around in. It is perfect for that.

Kelvin Aerolite

Perfect super lighweight jacket for cold ride in morning. also use as a mid layer for extreme cold sits during wisconsin deer season.

Awesome Jacket

lite, warm, comfy, I wear this jacket just about everywhere.

Stains easily

I bought this jacket with hopes of wearing it as a hunting mid layer and as an outer layer casually. After a couple days of very light wear around home, I noticed a couple spots that looked like oil splatter but couldn’t explain them. I spot treated them with no luck. Then, I noticed more so I washed it. It came out of the wash covered in spots. I now know that water stains it. I believe that there is an oil in the insulation that is released when it gets wet. I have reached out to customer service 2x with no response. The jacket is surprisingly warm to be so light and packable. It’s too bad the material stains so badly.

New Go To!

This jacket has pretty well overtaken any other jacket I wear! It stays with me 100% of the time now! Super light and quieter than I expected! Highly recommend!

Best packable puffy

Hands down a puffy will always come in my pack weather it’s August caribou, September Moose, or November Blacktail. This one is very comfy and very packable.

Love it

Great jacket

Very light and comfortable. Can stack it with other gear very comfortably and creates a great insulation barrier.

Aerolite Jacket

This jacket is awesome…i ordered it from Sitka and it arrived on schedule. This jacket is awesome.

Picked this up to use

Picked this up to use as an outer or mid layer. Works great for my needs as either! Super light and warm so really works well as mid layer under a windproof outer.

This jacket is super lightweight

This jacket is super lightweight and breaks the wind with ease! Great jacket!

Very happy with the Kelvin

Very happy with the Kelvin jacket. Warm and light.

Great jacket wear it everyday

Great jacket wear it everyday sleeves are nice and form fitting at the cuff.

Does just about everything.

Aside from being 100% waterproof this jacket exceeds the boundaries of comfort and function. From Bristol bay Alaska to the Wind River Wyoming the Aerolite scores a 'home run'.

Warmer than it looks - Wish it came with arm pit zippers

Typical great Sitka quality, not as quiet as some other jackets. I’d have given it 5 stars if it had arm pit zippers. I’m 6’-3” 240lbs, with a long torso and the XL-Tall fits great.

My go to coat

Absolutely love this coat. It’s an awesome all around coat. Very package and toasty warm when you need to take the chill off of you in or out of the field. Wear it when prepping for hunts, on a hunt or afterwards. This coat is.my favorite all around go to coat. Probably buying another one for everyday usage. Love it!!

Super light and warm, but very loud and not very durable.

Not good for hunting good for around camp.

Love the jacket but at sales prices

I purchased this jacket and feel like I got a smoking deal on sale. I’m not sure I’d pay >$300 for one but I got it as an everyday use in color storm. It’s by far my favorite between season jacket. Good enough for work, casual enough for everyday -!: ice wind breaking and down to 35 deg jacket. I have other Sitka product for hunting - this is too loud for me but love it!!!

Best shell/outer layer

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.

Aerolite

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.

My favorite jacket.

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!

Nice 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

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

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

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.

Super light weight and warm.

Super light weight and warm. It’s more waterproof than I expected as well as it can handle a light rain very well.

Top notch jacket not bulky

Top notch jacket not bulky warm well made and a true fit! And a great price! What else is there G

My favorite new addition. Love
