Traverse Jacket Reviews

I purchased this Jacket years

I purchased this Jacket years ago as my second piece of Sitka gear in the arsenal. I now have a closet full of Sitka gear and other performance hunting gear and this is still a goto foundational piece. Its on nearly every waterfowl hunt, deer hunt, even everyday wear, its comfortable, warm, breathes well, very durable and its thick enough that a sprinkle or light rain doesn't get you wet. If someone told me I had to only keep 2 piece of Sitka Gear this would without a doubt be one of them (the other is the boreal aerolite jacket... they should have some type of textile awards for that thing its incredible). I can see someone using this for Big Game hunting too but I'm a ultralight backcountry guy and this is a little heavy for my liking .... I have the Kelvin Aerolite Jacket for that application.

Wanted a jacket that would

Wanted a jacket that would work for multiple hunting applications and Sitka hit the mark with this one. I have had mine for over a year now and it has held up to the deer woods, river and swamp for ducks and even use as standard coat for everyday life. Keeps the wind and light rain off you and i find it suitable for temps into the 40's with just a tee underneath. Lower than that i use a mid-weight base layer and have been very comfortable. Mobility is key for me, and this jacket allows paddling of a kayak and swing shooting birds on the fly without binding. True to size, i feel, with enough room for a good layer if needed and not too loose either. One of the first items I got from Sitka, and it's made me a believer in the brand. You get what you pay for!!

Great jacket, warm and not

I am a loyal user of sika hunting gear , I have purchased many sets of whitetail gear . And waterfowl. I have never purchased the day to day gear from Sitka. Made my first purchase a month ago with this jacket , I asked my self why did the light bulb not click sooner . I love the jacket , quality, comfort, and performance I will be purchasing more in the future

This is by far the best all-around jacket I've bought it's perfect for the early morning 4 wheeler ride in August and perfect for the late elk hunts in November under a wind break

Great jacket. Runs a little small. Alll Sitka products are of the highest quality.

Really wanted to love this

Really wanted to love this jacket. Materials and build seem great, and definitely warm. Unfortunately the large was huge on me. The medium fit great, except very tight in the underarms to the point of chaffing just testing it out around the house. Would love if Sitka offered it in Tall sizes to fix this issue.

Good jacket, keeps me warm

Great jacket! Thin enough to not effect mobility during wing shooting, but warm as toast.

This is a fantastic mid

This is a fantastic mid layer for under a Hudson jacket. It is soft, warm and very durable and perfect for those super cold days.

Perfect for hiking on 25

Perfect for hiking on 25 degree mornings. Works well for layering when you're not moving.

I absolutely love this jacket.

I absolutely love this jacket. I bought this to go under my Stratus jacket. This combination has gotten me into the mid 20s sitting in my stand. Quality of the jacket is top notch. It is exceptionally quiet. Im 5’11” 200lbs and the xl fits me well.

Great for those 40/50 degree

Great for those 40/50 degree mornings. When it’s in the single digit temperature I wear it under my Sitka Boreal jacket and have never been cold.

Jacket is warm and styling.

Jacket is warm and styling. I like the new design with thumb hooks. I can tell by the material you do not want to be close to a campfire. One ember could ruin a nice jacket. Also great to wear with business casual dress. This jacket can used in many ways!

Got this as a “Texas

Got this as a “Texas duck oven”(rarely gets cold enough). Absolutely love this jacket layering properly I’m hoping to get 30° out of it!

This is a great piece

This is a great piece for bridging the gap going forward into colder temps where a Stratus or Fanatic Jacket take the spotlight. I would have thought a harness port would be nice for this piece in EV2, as the successor to the equinox hoodie which didn’t have that feature either.

Great hoody. Kept me warm

Great hoody. Kept me warm sitting in 32° weather. Only complaint is a lack of a harness access hole so that I can still wear the hood when in my stand. Seems like a pretty blatant oversight for the price.

My second piece for everyday

My second piece for everyday wear (Storm) and as most Sitka gear is very well made and comfortable. Great for those crisp mornings in October and also for wearing around the house when it isn't cold enough outside to turn on the furnace. 5'10' at 185 pounds and the large fits well. I am able to wear this under my large Jetstream Jacket (Tidal/discontinued color) for those windy days when the extra layer is needed. This combination is a little snug on the elbows, but not enough to hinder driving or most other 'everyday' activities. I also own a Traverse Jacket in Subalpine for Ohio Spring Turkey, and its outstanding performance is what prompted me to buy one for everyday wear. You won't be disappointed.

A jacket that is a

A jacket that is a little heavy but warm and quiet. This was great in the mornings during an archery elk hunt.

Well made like most of

Well made like most of the clothing. For the life of me I cannot figure out why over the years SITKA cannot put a safety harness on their jackets. One of the last brands to do so and now these are offered in EV2 which tells a person that most of the use will be from a tree stand. For the cost of the clothing a design flaw like this is unacceptable.

Awesome jacket for the cooler

Awesome jacket for the cooler temps ahead. I love how quiet the jacket is. You can wear it as an outer layer option or use it as one of your base layers and pair it with one of your wind proof outer layers and you will be warm and cozy for when the temps drop.

This piece is my outer

This piece is my outer layer during Missouri's bow season in October over the Fanatic hoody. I am 6'2 185 and I got the XL out of fear that it would be too tight with the fanatic hoody and it is perfect. I have full draw range with both layers on and am very comfortable in it. It is not a loud material unlike the Traverse pants that 'pair' with it. Usually packed in so that I don't get too hot then is thrown on after it cools off when the sun starts to get below the trees. It is plenty warm for myself even though I tend to sweat a lot and am a warm person in general.

This jacket is going to

This jacket is going to replace my midi jacket. Feels like it’s more durable and warmer.

Great jacket. I own 3

Great jacket. I own 3 of them. I just wish they were offered in a Tall size so I didn’t have to size up to make up the difference in sleeve and torso length.I ’m 6’6” 245lbs and wear a 1xlt or 2xlt in everything else. The jacket performs great, sheds light rain well and has kept me warm down to the 40s so far here in Georgia.
