I really like this piece of gear. Its not to big, not to small. Holds just the right amount of equipment, and when it gets hot you can roll a small hoodie up and stuff it into the pack. 10/10
I was looking to upgrade my old Amazon large duffle for hunting trips that last more than a couple days. This bag fits the bill and I was stoked to get it on sale!
Second pair of Sitka waders. I have the original first run pair and still use them. Got these and plan to use old ones as back up! Great piece of gear . You won’t regret it and warranty was always honored, only needs it once. My only complaint bus I’m short 5’5 155 lbs and medium fits me with room but would be nice if they made these in a large short like the ventlites.
This was the exact coat I’d been searching for over the past two years. I’ve had the Kelvin AeroLite jacket for years, but it struggled in heavy wind. I was planning on adding a Jetstream to my pack to take care of the wind, but now I don’t need to. Adding the Kelvin Pro let me add a windstopper layer without adding the weight of an additional jacket.
Great mid layer. I actually own three. One I wear everyday in the winter on the cold mornings to work. The others I wear under my coats deer hunting or duck hunting. The only thing is that I would not just wear it to my stand because it will pick easily but very quiet to wear in the stand.
I’d like to provide a thorough review here because if you’re like me and can only order Sitka online, reviews are very helpful. Unfortunately, I could not get these shoes on my feet, they were too narrow. A larger size wasn’t the answer, the insoles were 3/16” longer than the ones from my current running shoes. So, I don’t know who these will fit - maybe if you slip on climbing shoes like clogs to run to the mailbox, these will work for you? I also gave them a good twist and, compared to my approach shoes, they were soft - so more like runners than something you’d use off-trail. Same for the tread - definitely an on-trail lug pattern and not something I’d want to use on wet rock. If they bumped up the grip, the torsional stability and added a wide, I’d try them again.
I would buy the new design if it had pockets like the old one. Picture added of pockets that need to be added back. The girls need their pockets back!!!
The only negative thing I can say is that it is a little bit more stiff than I would prefer but it does give great support and going to be an all-around great shoe.
Great shoes! Been rucking with a 50lb pack for 3 miles everyday now for 3 weeks and there holding up great with no signs of wear. I also checked the waterproofness by standing in my tub for a few minutes and my feet were dry. Would recommend!
