By far the best jacket! Always keeps me warm and dry!

HARDCORE WINGSHOOTERS DREAM I have used the Hudson jacket the past couple seasons and still is a go to jacket, but then I added to my concealment and obsession. THE LAYOUT......this jacket was designed for the comfort of a true waterfowler. thank you Sitka for making my hunts the BEST

January 1st 2018. Miles City Montana at 0745 is -23 below outside. Wanted to put the Layout to the test. Gradient bottoms, Layout pants. Heavyweight Core Zip, Fahrenheit Jacket, and Layout Jacket. Boreal Beanie, Neck Gaitor, Delta Deek Gloves with Lacross Alphaburly Pro 1600g boots. Put audio book on, stepped outside and laid on deck with back down in 2” of snow for 1 hour 45 min. Each piece works so well, but most impressive was the Jacket and Pant. To not feel even the slightest bit of cold or temp change on my back or bottom that was against the ground was pretty unreal, especially for that long and at that temp. I can honestly say I stayed as warm for that hour and 45 min outside as I was when I first stepped outside of the house. I sometimes have to smile at what some companies claim, and “ground shield insulation” was no different. It is legit! I cannot imagine a situation or condition where this particular setup would do anything other than keep you warm. Looks to have the durability to last for years. Worth every single penny.

Nice jacket but short in the waist . When you combine with the layout bibs they barely cover the gap between the jacket and bibs. Wind comes in no problem. BURR! Probably sell my setup after the season. Wish the designers would add an inch to ALL their products in the waist length. A lot of people are wondering who they use for the measurements.

This jacket would be my favorite, if they didnt make the torso length SOOO SHORT! Being a "Layout" jacket, it should be desgined longer for field hunting. It's shorter in length than my Hudson Jacket it, which is desgined for going under waders. I am so confused why the majority of their gear is so short in the torso. I am 6'2" and have an average torso. I got the Large size and i feel like it is a belly shirt. I am sending it back right away. I guess i will just use my Hudson jacket for layout hunting.

This jacket is amazing! I wear it duck hunting here in the Dakota's and it handles any weather condition. I even wear it when I am not hunting.

Bought this coat early spring and temps finally have falling cold enough to break it out. I've worn it in the swamp with waders on and even wore it deer hunting. I know it's not ment for that but when the wind is driving and the rain is falling what better than to wear gear that's made for those conditions. It's a little snug in the elbow and shoulder region for me when wearing a hoody underneath. I'm 5'10" and 220, other than the snug fit I love this coat and recommend it to all my friends and people that ask! Keep up the good work, and keep the new stuff coming.

Would've gave 5 stars if they had it best gear I've ever used this handled everything that a Alaskan goose and duck hunt could dish out I guide for 7 weeks straight no matter weather from down pours to temps in low teens to below zero layered with Dakota hoody and traverse t never once was I uncomfortable to truthful had a buddy hunting and we got soaking wet pushing boat in a swamp so I tried the warming drill well kind of drank a thermos cap full of hot coffee took a slow walk came back and was completely dry about 2 hours my buddy was still soaked at noon unbelievable right but it does work like they say but I would call Sitka to make sure you get it right will be getting Fahrenheit jacket and hey weight cores with some pants not sure on that yet but rest assured it will be Sitka brand !! Stop waiting your money like I did get you won't regret it Guaranteed!!! Good luck on you hunts this falll
