Great Purchase!

My husband loves these pants! I ordered them for a gift, last minute. They weren’t supposed to arrive on time but to my surprise they came early! They are high quality and the material is fantastic! I’d love some for myself if they weren’t all camo. Thank you Sitka!

My son had been praising

My son had been praising these pants for over a year. So, when I saw then on sale I bought a pair. They feel and fit great and are very functional in the field. But the real test came when we had 8" of snow, temperature was 7 degrees and the wind was out of the north at 20. Deer season had just passed and I went squirrel hunting behind my house. With only a pair of lounging fleece pants under the Stratus and a fleece shirt under my Incinerator Jacket, I was able to sit in that blistering wind for over an hour. The only reason I came back inside was because my feet were cold in my neoprene boots! I HIGHLY recommend these pants. They performed at a much higher level than I ever expected!

Very happy with these pants! I live in Pennsylvania and it can get very cold in late season. I wore these pants with your base layers underneath and I stayed warm! They are very quiet and comfortable! I would recommend these to anyone

Wash, Rinse, Repeat

I bought my first pair of Status pants and used them two years ago. Loved them. So I save my money to buy a second pair in a different color. They are quiet and can be worn through most of the hunting season until really cold weather creeps in.

I love sitka

Wish there was something started about the material of the clothes. It works great but I wouldn’t haven’t gotten it because I hunt in briars and rougher country. I want the traditional style rather than the sherpa

Kept me warm in the Hunt!

I purchased these for my late fall elk hunt and these lived up to the Sitka description that I read online. Windproof and warm. Combined with the merino base layer was warm hiking and sitting in the mountians (8000Ft). Great pair of hunting pants!

Wish they tall size bibs

Ordered the Stratus Bibs in Optifade pattern to pair with my Stratus jacket. I figured they would be a lot like the sizing of the Fanatic bibs, so I ordered a large. Fits great except for the 32" inseam and that doesn't work when you wear a 34". I can wear them saddle hunting, but no bueno when using the hang-on stand. Wind heads straight up the bottom and chills your legs.

Excellent Pant, most versatile line in the whitetail lineup

The Stratus System is in my opinion the most versatile line in the Whitetail Lineup. It can be worn from early fall through late season. I already had the Bibs and Jacket so picking up the pant and vest to complete the system just made sense. Great Layout and amazing comfort. Overall I highly recommend not just the Pant but the entire Stratus System.

Best hunting pants I own

Bought the bibs a couple months back and decided to pull the trigger on the pants too, and couldn’t be more pleased. I’m around 6ft with a 29-30 inch waste so the medium is slightly baggy and I do mean very slightly but with the build in belt they fit like a glove, and I can only imagine if layered under will be impenetrable by the elements and still fit perfectly

These pants are perfect for a quiet windbreaker!

Love the fit, true to size, they give enough wiggle room for a strong base layer but aren't baggy and are also very quiet. The belt is perfect and the grip material around the waist keeps them from slipping!

Comfortable

I really like how these pants feel when being worn. Typically I need to wear long underwear because the material inside other pants feel uncomfortable against bare skin. Sizing of the pants is perfect around my waist (im a size 31") (medium ordered) and the legs were surprisingly roomy as I have larger thighs. Freedom of movement is non-negotiable for me! Quality of the pants is exceptional, just like the jacket. "Optifade Cover" will help me stay camouflaged in the Borial Forest of Northern Alberta! Thanks Sitka!

Stratus pants

The day I received them I put them on and for a walk in the snowy woods. I’m very satisfied with these pants. Today I was deer hunting with a fairly strong Northwest wind. The pants kept the wind out just as advertised. The other thing I like about this product is the price point.

Great Pant for Mid-Season Use

I am a public land hunter that traverses a variety of terrain in a greater variety of weather. On warmer hunts, using the stratus pant and skipping a lightweight base layer gave me the protection I needed for the way without becoming overheated. On days approaching the high 30’s, using the stratus pants with a lightweight base layer kept me warm. These pants also offer great protection from treacherous terrain. While dragging a buck down a cliff side filled with rocks and brambles, these pants kept me protected, all while maintaining their robustness. Great pants that you should own if the conditions you’re hunting in are right.

Stratus Pant

Love them. They are quiet, comfortable, warm enough for 30s with an insulated thermal. My only complaint is that I am an XLT in their Equinox line, so that that’s what I ordered for these pants, and they are legitimately 4 inches too big. I’m going to have to have them altered as they cannot stay on and sending them down with 4 inches of extra fabric underneath the little fabric gray belt just really doesn’t work out that well. I have no idea why they are so much larger than the Equinox line. I would have returned them and gotten larges, but I had them drop shipped to the out-of-state location I was hunting, and 100% did not have proper gear without using them so I had to use them; I had no choice, and now I know that I probably cannot return them for the smaller size, so I’m gonna be left with having to pay to have them severely altered… So, like I said, everything other than that was exactly what you would expect from the brand, perfection.

Stratus pant

These are pretty great pants. They are pretty resilient when it comes to pushing through thick brush and jaggers. The wind stop is a huge selling point when mid season wind chills your bones. A tiny bit more insulation in them would make them much closer to a 5 star

Missed out on the sale

I bought a Startus pant and jacket set as the new Stratus 2. 0 product line launched. Realizing I was getting a good price, I finally pulled the trigger on some Sitka gear. I was a little disappointed when the items arrived and were of fairly thin material. Understanding Sitka's technology, I'm sure the material would offer warmth and breathability but my primary concern is how tore us this set would get if snagged on branches, burs, or briars. This is for sure a still hunt set. Lastly, the sizing fit a little small and my effort to avoid big and bulky lead to my purchase of a medium set which was farily snug and did not leave room for any layering other than a long sleeve shirt and thin set of tights. 5'11", 175lbs - will purchase large if/when I decide to try again for Sitga gear. The sale items are sold out so no size swapping available. It must speak to the quality so I'll keep looking!

Light, soft, windproof

Very light and soft on the outside with a nice soft liner inside as well. I ripped the outside first time using them however that got stuck on part of my climber. Windproof very well as I cruise around on an atv in Wisconsin in November. I wish they were warmer however.
