Great all around jacket

Super slick finish. Arms a little long but will work. Should be nice on the early morning boat rides to the duck blind. Or fishing as well

Traverse Jacket

I’ve been very impressed with the Sitka Traverse Jacket. It has become one of my favorite pieces of hunting gear because of how versatile it is. The jacket works exceptionally well as a fleece mid-layer, providing plenty of warmth without feeling bulky or restrictive. It’s lightweight enough to wear comfortably during active hunts, yet warm enough to take the chill off cool mornings and evenings. One thing that surprised me is how well it handles light moisture. While it’s not a dedicated rain jacket, it does a respectable job repelling light rain and morning dew, which adds to its versatility in the field. The Optifade Subalpine camouflage pattern is another standout feature. The pattern blends extremely well in East Tennessee woods, especially in green vegetation, early season cover, and wooded terrain. It breaks up your outline effectively while still looking great. Overall, the Sitka Traverse Jacket is a lightweight, comfortable, and versatile fleece that performs well as a layering piece or outer layer in mild conditions. If you’re looking for a dependable hunting jacket with excellent camouflage and all-day comfort, it’s hard to go wrong with the Traverse.

Excellent Outer Shell

I bought this for when I hunt in the mid-west as I needed an option for when it's cold but not frickin cold. Soft and quiet outer layer that is also water resistant and fit true to size. I wear this instead of the fanatic and have also been known to wear it bird hunting.

Fantastic coat. Wore throughout late Archery season in Michigan and Rifle season in temperatures hovering around 0 degrees. It did what it was supposed to do when layered on top of a base layer, mid-layer and insulating vest. Fit is a little different than the rest of the Sitka apparel I have gotten with baggier sleeves and a more boxy torso.

Traverse Jacket has been a

Traverse Jacket has been a perfect layering choice as a chilly early season layer by itself with a core lightweight long sleeve underneath. Or it pairs perfectly under my Fanatic bibs on much colder sits. Nice and quiet, perfect for saddle hunting. XXL is the perfect size (for me, anyway) 6’2” 240# and it’s loose enough that I can wear my Sitka base layers under it with plenty of room and it’s not too bulky if I throw my Status or Fanatic jacket over it.

Love this jacket

I bought 10 of these in both men and women for my office staff and had them monogrammed. We are in healthcare and can not have regular fleece in the office. The outer surface is smooth and very comfortable, yet the inside is a very warm fleece. Very comfortable and stretchy. The entire staff has worn them every day this winter!

Great Jacket - Need small size

Really like the quality, features, and look of the jacket. However, Sitka does not offer it in Men's small. Fit is probably spot on for a medium. My 14 year old son and I both need a Men's small. Hope Sitka is listening - lot's of teenage fellows need jackets. Had to buy another brand for my teen due to size issues.
