Favorite purchase

Out of everything I bought this is my favorite purchase. It’s incredibly comfortable and stretchy. It moves well with my body. It’s long so it covers more of my lower waist and bum which is so nice when it’s colder. I love the thumb holes and the ability to flip the fabric over to cover my hands. I also love the face covering it comes with. I have a big head with a lot of hair and I can comfortably wear the hood up over my hat, head, and hair. It’s so comfortable I want to wear it even when I’m not hunting.

Perfect

Perfect fit and so ver comfy. Ordered pants and was skeptical about the fit but they fit great. Worth the money all around. Love all my purchases

Love the color! Fits great!

Love the color! Fits great! Great for hiking!

I dont mind spending money

I dont mind spending money on quality products. Bought my first Sitka item... used it for the season then expandid. When mywife said she had an interest in being in the tree stand with me I had no doubt about what to get her to wear. She love the texture and fitting of the clothing!

Lightweight and no bulk!

Love the fanatic so much I own 5! Lightweight and no bulk, and layers perfectly with many other Sitka items! Convenient pockets for phone and other items!

My wife is always cold. I purchased a Fanatic hoody for myself and mentioned how good it fit and how warm it was. She tried it on for a few minutes and said I want one! I really like the fit the built in face mask and the finger covers on the sleeves.

Fit was perfect for my daughter.

Love it!!!

My girlfriend absolutely LOVES IT!!!

Love the shirt... but did not last

I received my fanatic as a gift from my brother. Absolutely one of my favorites to wear while walking and hiking. Unfortunately, it is piling terribly. Super tempted to get one of the new colors, but for the price, I will probably not chance it.

The upgraded version is not for short torso gals

The feel of this hoodie is fantastic. The features are great and I can see why so many people love it but if you are petite this hoodie might not be for you. The sizing chart is true to size for bust and waist measurements but if you are short and also have a short torso and arm length you will be swimming in it. I'm a curvy gal with hourglass measurements at 38-32-42 but I'm also only 5'2'. The sleeves and torso length were excessively long on me. This made it difficult to manage the extra fabric around wrists when not using the mittens and using them flipped was a challenge. The extra torso fabric made this hoodie bunch at the waist and when pulled down over my hips went much farther than comfortable down my butt. I really wanted to love this piece but its just not for my body shape and if you have a shape like mine you might struggle as well. I need easy movement and accessible features in the field and this piece just wasn't it for me. If you're tall or need that extra sleeve length you'll love it!

I love this, my favorite feature is the glove option. part of the sleeve folds over like a glove and has thumb holes. great for a brisk start to a morning hunt that warms up later on.

VERY warm! Best hunting jacket I've ever owned.

Best Hoody

I have one of these for hunting and bought my wife one for everyday wear. She loves it, it's thin, lightweight but deceptively warm. These things are great.

Warm

Nice as an under layer when it’s cold.

This is my absolute favorite

This is my absolute favorite half zip! It’s so comfortable and so warm but it’s also light weight. I have one for hunting and one for everyday wear!

Kept me warm all hunt

Great All Around Jacket

I use this jacket as an everyday jacket, upland hunting, and salmon fishing Lake Michigan! It is an awesome jacket and cuts the wind. If you don't have one, you should consider purchasing one; you will not regret it!

Fits great my girlfriend loves

Perfect mid layer

Perfect for everyday activities but it more than comfortable to where in the field as a mid layer

Great hoody! Requires some upkeep.

I really love this hoody! As a female, it seems so many shirts are just far too short to be practical in the field, but the Fanatic hoody is plenty long to cover your lower back, even when squatting or kneeling. I'm 5'6" and 126 lbs and the small size fits well and looks nice. It's definitely not a fitted shirt but it doesn't just hang on me, either. It fits slimly enough that the Jetstream vest goes over it without any bunching, and gives me a little extra protection from the winds on gusty cold days. The Fanatic breathes surprisingly well, given its thickness, and the deep zipper helps when you need a little more ventilation on a hike or pack-out. The sleeves are perhaps overly long. They're designed with thumbholes, which is becoming quite common, though I don't really utilize that feature. The sleeves also feature an extra flap of fabric at the cuff that you can fold over your fingers for mittens. I haven't found this feature particularly useful, perhaps a little while glassing, but it does make the sleeves extra long and places the thumbholes far up your forearms when not utilizing them. I just let the extra sleeve fabric bunch up and it pretty much closes off the thumbholes so it's not much of a problem. The hood is excellent, and I used the built-in facemask a bit while sitting brush blinds on an archery elk hunt. When you're not using the facemask and have it folded into the back of the hood, it is tight enough that it will pull back the sides of the hood a bit. If there was an extra inch of fabric this would be solved, but then perhaps the mask would be too loose while being worn. I'm assuming the designers tested that all out so I will trust their decision. Having hoods on shirts like the Fanatic is great because it keeps the sun off of your neck and face, and helps a lot with shielding you from the wind as well. The fabric is very quiet, completely silent, but the hood will reduce your hearing a touch so be cognizant of that. I wasn't thrilled about the sweatshirt-style pocket on the front of the shirt when I ordered it, but I was pleased to see that the pocket lays very flush against your body and is virtually invisible. The shirt fits well and looks sharp, and when my hands get a little chilly I can stuff them into that front pocket with ease. The pocket is super soft! I am almost tempted to give this hoody four stars because of the fabric. It pills like crazy, and definitely don't get velcro near it. Anywhere your pack, bino harness, or coat sleeve rubs is going to pill in these little tiny white balls. I use a small facial hair trimmer to buzz the pilling off and it mostly keeps the shirt looking like new. I have worn it in the field for a few weeks so far this winter and it has held up great. The fabric is soooo soft on the inside. This is definitely one of my favorite pieces of Sitka gear, even if I have to do a little "pill management."

Great fitting hoody.

Bought for my wife because she loved hers for hunting so I got one she can wear all the time.

Fantastic products and very warm

IT’S EVERYTHING

I now own 4 of these. I used the first 2 for hunting as my base layer & layering on top of that. Keeps me comfortable & in the game. I do not like being cold. Love the hood with built in front buff & the many other features this hoodie has to offer. I bought the 2nd two hoodies a size larger so I could use it as a top layer with a t-shirt underneath & it does just what I wanted it for. Great piece of all around clothing. I love Sitka wear! Highly recommend!

Different from original but still great

This is one versatile piece, from travel to field work to hanging out. It’s a bigger and longer fit than the original; seems a size bigger.

Women’s Fanatic Hoody

Very comfortable and warm. Love the fleece. Tighter across the chest for layering and long arms, however the sleeves can be rolled up. I am of small stature so I take this into account. That said, this is my 3rd fanatic hoody, so this item gets 5 stars from me.
