Must have

I am in love with this jacket. It is incredibly light weight and packable. It keeps me very warm. I highly suggest ordering 1 size up as it does run a bit small. I usually wear a medium and I ordered a large. I can wear it with a t-shirt or another hoodie underneath if needed.

Warmth

For the warmth to be 4/5 it wasn’t good at all. Very disappointed, expected to be more warm! Was 60 out and I was still chilly.

New Mexico hunt

Worn between 15 and 50 degrees. Kept me warm when it was cold and kept me cool while quartering the elk. Works well and is super comfortable.

The Ambient Jacket is Part of my Sitka System

The Ambient Jacket is part of my Sitka Layering System. I was a little worried about staying warm enough while hunting elk in Montana. The layering system worked quite well. While on this hunt, I had to belly crawl 150 to 200 yards, across sagebrush flats. Hiding behind sage brush, as not to be seen by the 250 to 300 elk on the hillside. Crawling until we finally got into range to be able to shoot. Having to lay on the ground behind a small sagebrush for 1 1/2 hours, waiting to get a shot. The large bull was laying down amongst hundreds of cow elk. Yes, I was able to harvest the large 6x6 bull elk. Thanks to the Ambient Jacket and the rest of my Sitka Layering System, I was able to be comfortable throughout my hunt.

Stellar jacket!

Can’t say enough good things on the ambient!! I hate bulk so this jacket is great. Don’t be deceived , it’s so warm and comfortable! I have one for hunting and one for everyday wear. Get yourself an ambient jacket (or 3) you won’t regret it!

Women’s Ambient Jacket

I own many pieces of Sitka and love them!!! The ambient jacket is an added bonus with the proper Sitka base layers and then Fanatic jacket is a must as I was out today and the temperature was high of 28 degrees. Once you hunt in Pa wearing Sitka you will want to add to your collection!!!

Perfect!!!

This jacket does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I sweat heavily when hiking then freeze when I spot an animal and have to stop and be still. This jacket isn’t too warm to hike in but keeps the chill off when I stop. It’s light and warm at the same time. Someone did an excellent job with its design. Thank you!!

My wife loves it! We

My wife loves it! We needed warmth, but minimal bulk and weight for limited packing space, and this nails it. Fits her perfectly, and as others have said, it’s deceptively warm. Clearly, it leverages your body heat, so first impression might be that it’s not enough - give it a minute.

I have ordered a mid

I have ordered a mid weight jacket from kuiu, first lite, mountain hardware and now SITKA, and by far this is my favorite jacket. It’s the light weight, packable, very comfortable, warm and water wicking. I’m 5’ 7” and 155 lbs, ordered a medium. The fit is perfect based on the size chart. I will be ordering in different colors.

I reviewed this jacket for

I reviewed this jacket for Outside Magazine in early spring. Typically I'm a savage with reviews for women's gear, because there's not much good out there for women. This jacket different. I have found this to be my go to jacket not only for hunting, fishing and trapping. But also for everyday ranching, etc. It feels like butter on your skin. Lightweight, yet is warm. Great on its own, but also for layering. If you do happen to sweat in it, which is rare, it's breathable enough to dry quickly. The fabric is quiet and almost snag proof, I'm hard on things. Hands down the most comfortable and functional jacket I've worn in a woman's line. Way to go Sitka!

My new favorite technical jacket.

My new favorite technical jacket. I first wore this during archery elk in the high peaks of Colorado. Big morning ascents to beat the sun up, this jacket kept me warm, not hot, and efficient moving in the mountains. I can see this as a part of my kit for all aerobic activities: hunting, hiking, ski touring. This spring I wore the solids jacket to climb up Mt Hood, and eventually back down to the bar - the versatility of the piece makes it hard to take off! Guess that's the point. Well done Sitka.

The Ambient is the jacket

The Ambient is the jacket I was waiting for from SITKA. This is the perfect active insulation layer that can stay on during all kinds of hunting scenarios from hiking in, to buffering a bit of wind / cold, to layering under something bigger. It breathes really well so I find I don’t have to take it on and off constantly which is awesome when you’re loaded down with a bino bivy and pack. Simply put, it’s a no-fuss performer. Sweat dries quickly, and the women’s fit is great with tons of mobility and stretch. Its light, and super packable. The solid color has become a go-to comfort layer for me too for at home and travel. Love this jacket

The Ambient Jacket checks several

The Ambient Jacket checks several important boxes for me. Warmth without the sweat, and it’s quiet. It allows my body to breathe while climbing into the treestand and then keeps me warm while sitting still. Because of these features, I also find myself reaching for it for daily ranch work here in Missouri. It’s versatile and durable which make it a no brainer for me to keep on hand.

I love the feel of

I love the feel of the inside of this jacket and how light it feels. Haven’t tried it in cooler weather yet but fall is around the corner in MI. I gave it a 4 because the small arm length could be a little longer. Body fits form fitting and feels great. I ordered small and I’m 5’8 and 123lbs.

I absolutely love this jacket,

I absolutely love this jacket, it is my new favorite for hunting. I took it out for a hunt in Wyoming with temps ranging from 9-18 Fahrenheit. I was warm all day and it is super comfortable both when layering and by itself. I will probably buy the Ambient in black to wear around town.

Love everything about this jacket.

Love everything about this jacket. Absolutely perfect for mildly cold weather hunting. Only thing I’d change is the hood. I’d love an option for either no hood or removable hood. I wear a beanie or a ballcap and a hood ends up being just a mass of hot, unused fabric on the back of my neck.
