I would give it 5 stars if you could tighten the sleeves. Really great shell and very waterproof. The wrists dont have velcro cuffs though. If you order a size larger than normal so you can layer the sleeves are too long and go past your wrists. Very annoying trying to work with the jacket covering the hands.
Compact but Capable: Great for Travel, EDC, and Light Fishing
I bought this bag for an upcoming vacation, as well as for coaching flag football and fishing while carrying some EDC/emergency gear. One feature I really like is the built-in cloth for cleaning sunglasses, along with the rear compartment that holds them securely (or an extra pair).
At first, the bag felt a little small for my needs, but it turned out to be surprisingly capable. It comfortably fits my family’s passports, a standard wallet, and my keys. I was also able to carry a tourniquet, chest seals, shears, smelling salts, and a few other essentials without issue.
For fishing, I’d recommend getting a second bag, but this one can still handle a light setup. It will fit 2–3 bags of soft plastics, a small tackle container for hooks and weights, and a small bottle of bug spray or sunscreen. The MOLLE webbing on the bottom is a nice touch—it gives you the option to attach items like bear spray, an external medical pouch, or even a poncho.
Overall, I prefer to travel light, carrying just what I need either in my pockets or on my belt. This pack lets me keep all my essentials organized without the bulk of a shoulder bag, and it frees up my pockets so I can move more comfortably.
This is a great option if you want to stay light and mobile while still being prepared.
Was super stoked by these and made the purchase. I screwed up and got them too small. Brought them to the river but they were tight with my wader booties. Only boots I had so I worn them. They are tough, have good support and are light. But they are super slick on river rocks. I almost biffed it twice and the water wasn't raging. There is a different between rubber and Vibrum apparently which is on my other boots. These come with cleats which would make a big difference but I've never had to use them in the past. I do really like the feel of these boots other than their slickness. I'm sure once the tread gets a little scuffed up that will also help. But I screwed up with the sizes. By the end of the day my feet we're screaming to get out of the boots because they were too small. Now the decision is what to do with them. I wore them once so returning and sizing up I'm guessing is not an option. I usually wear a size 8 men's shoe so thought getting a size 9mens boot would work, but still too small. Ugh Guess I needed to go up 2 sizes. So seems like they run a little small.
Great jacket. Keeps me war during night hunts in the seat. Good wind protection and warmth which can be bolstered with Sitka base layers. Quiet as well
Great purchase these have never let me down. I love that they offer different camo options, making it easy to blend seamlessly with the rest of my gear.
They are warm but I did fall in a creek soo my feet got real cold real quick but other than not being waterproof they are super warm and perfect for not insulated boots.
This compresses really well for storage / transport. Worn underneath a Jetstream jacket (that needs sleeve cuffs), you can sit cozy for Deer in December.
These socks are warm and built well. They aren’t too tight like darn tough are. They haven’t slipped down and they dry fast. I would recommend these for cold weather.
If you’re a vest guy, this is the ticket! Perfect weight for a chilly morning and a great layer for under the Stratus jacket. Added bonus of blocking the wind to keep your core warm when used as an outer layer. If you’re on the fence, buy the vest!
Im pretty pleased with them. They are definitely cooler than regular socks also built pretty stout. Im finding myself wearing them with my work boots alot because of how much cooler they are.
Packable and waterproof. Put to the test in the Florida Keys during some intense rain storms. Cuffs allowed some water in the sleeves when fishing but that is normal for any raincoat without a gasket style cuff.
Love these pants. Very durable. I’m 5’9” so it would be nice if Sitka made pants in a 30” length. Hate spending the time and extra money getting these hemmed and tapered.
