The Stratus Jacket has got your back for those long chilly days in the stand. This versatile jacket is 100% windproof and ultra-quiet thanks to a GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® Technology membrane sandwiched between warm & silent micro-grid fleece. A removable hood with specialized hearing ports that improve the ability to hear deer approaching and double layer PolarTec® Alpha® Direct panels retain heat. The innovative Constant-Connect SITKA® Safety Harness Pass-Through Port with Cobrax® secure slide-to-lock snap and magnetic closure eliminates the need to disconnect from a harness when adding or removing gear keeping you safer and quieter in the stand.

I bought for this for CO elk hunting as well as midwest deer hunting. I purchased the Large and it fits a little larger than the Sitka Mountain Jacket which is perfect as I can layer up on colder days. Quiet, warm can't wait to use this season.
Received mine in the mail and is so comfortable lightweight that I know I'll be able to stand in the stand for hours on end and not get cold. So happy with the jacket
6'1" 260 and the 2 xl fits perfect! So happy I bought it along with the Stratus pants and base layers.
A few nice upgrades on the 2020 version of this jacket but they don’t tell you that they reduced the size of the front pockets. Previous versions of the front pockets almost reached around To the kidneys allowing for handwarmers or large items.
Love the new design, this is most definitely the best Sitka piece to have for an outer layer for whitetail hunting. Perfect for Virginia cold season where you just never know how cold and windy it’s gonna get. I’m 6’3” and 300 lbs stalky broad build and the 3XL fits your effect and allows perfect for layering with the Celsius midi jacket and fanatic hoody under neath.

The Confluence: Identifying Key Funnels for Whitetails
The primary needs for a whitetail: food, water, shelter, and communication - often come together in places that are commonly referred to as funnels. Funnels are also known as transition areas, travel corridors, bottlenecks, and pinch points. By using maps and applying real-world experience through scouting, you can pinpoint these funnels by identifying the following terrain.

Hey all, wanted to write a review as this is alot to spend on a jacket and I struggled since there were so few reviews online. I must say, I love this jacket for multiple reasons but can not give it 5 stars based on design. For quietness, lightweight, wind resistance and warmth - this jacket excels. I just returned from a WY elk hunt and this was the only outer layer I wore for five days. One day it was mid-twenties, blowing hard, snowing sideways, etc. I had on a merino base-layer, a midweight quarter zip and this jacket. My guide kept asking if I was cold, not one bit, we glassed for hours and I was never cold. This jacket was designed as a whitetail jacked and has a unique collar arrangement that is supposed to allow a safety harness to pass through, some kind of magnet attached. For the love of all things holy, put a normal collar on this jacket and a slit in mid back like every other hunting clothing manufacturer. The collar on this jacked never lays right and is never comfortable - design fail. Not enough to keep me away from the jacket, but be warned. I would have preferred the Jetstream for my application, but the Stratus is cut larger (standard fit) for us folks that do not have a flat belly. Bottom line, if you need warm and windproof, and have love handles - this might be your jacket.
For it's weight, this jacket is incredibly warm. I had it on while I was doing 60mph on my four wheeler in 40 degrees the other day with a hoodie underneath and I didn't get a chill at all. Not even a hint of wind got through it. Fit is great, although the large is a little short on the torso. I own two of these jackets and prefer the large tall when I have more than just base layers underneath. (I'm 6' 180 for reference) All in all, this is an amazing jacket and is my most used outer layer in the whitetail line that I own. Only small complaint I have is I wish they would have kept the zip off hood on the new version instead of using snap buttons. They did this for the pass through system for safety harnesses, but I use a rock climbing harness so it really does nothing for me. This small thing wasn't even enough for me to take off a star because this jacket is that nice. Buy it and you'll be glad you did!
Wanted to get some good quality hunting gear for the season. Last week started my bow hunt, it was windy for a couple days straight and this jacket did not block the wind at all like it is supposed to do. Very disappointed as that is the only reason I went for the expensive stratus 'windstopper' in the first place. Not happy.
Just received my stratus jacket today. Fit is perfect! Will be buying more sitka clothing as wallet allows me. 5' 8" 210 lbs muscular but stout build. XL fit great!
