Sitka Gear is top-of-the-line in its use of newer fabrics and design to explore and improve garment function for hunters and outdoors people. It is, however, pricey, so I look for dual function when I buy a Sitka piece. An example of this that didn't work for me was the Dakota Hoodie-- beautifully designed and made but too noisy for a deer stand though probably perfect for a duck blind. The GRADIENT hoodie solves the noise problem, is warmer than expected and comfortable, though I do recommend going up a size since Sitka has a narrow ("athletic") cut and some of us are not so narrow! I actually like the waterfowl patterns in the woods-- they blend in well during the fall. Another home run for Sitka Gear IMHO.

Great jacket! Blocks high winds and keeps you warm during the coldest hunts.

Hands down the warmest sweatshirt I own. Excellent worn alone or layering. Honestly the only thing I really think could be improved is the face mask. Its not really comfortable or functional. Having worn this for a lot of the season I decided that having this and the dakota would be a good idea. So I ordered the dakota in Timber, and have my trusty gradient in Marsh. Sitka nails it again!!

This is one of the best pieces in the Waterfowl line. Fits perfect keeps you warm even in cold temps. Throw a Dakota vest over it and your good in wind down to mid 20's. The hoods comfortable and the sleeve thumb holes are an upgrade from the gradient jacket much more comfortable. My only complaint is I want to buy another in Timber and my size is sold out!

They call it a sweat shirt but it's a heavy, thick sweat shirt and had me sweating at 45 degrees. The front hand pocket is great. It's lined and keeps my hands warm with no gloves. The hood with a built in face mask is a nice bonus as well. Highly recommend it for guys that like wearing sweatshirts instead of coats all the time.

Seems like a decent enough polyester pull over. It's not abnormally special aside from the marsh camo pattern, which is pretty good. Thumb holes are basically useless as they are poorly designed and uncomfortable. If you are considering this piece, I recommend adding a couple inches to your body measurements to choose your size. This is not a standard fitting garment. Everything is super slim fit, from the chest to the forearms.

Great insulation piece. Exterior is much like the traverse cold weather Hoody. High loft thick fleece inside with that classic "Hoody" pocket in the front. Only complaint and reason for 3.5 stars is the fact that the thumb holes suck. Very uncomfortable to wear them. I can definitely see wearing this to scout and around camp when it's chilly, then throwing on a shell when it gets really cold
