I bought this jacket as part of my layering system for my elk hunt in Colorado in October. The jacket is light weight, fits perfectly over my Sitka base layeres & It does not feel bulky like other jackets.
Could be a super comfortable boot. I normally wear 11 in the wader boots so I order same size in these. They fit great length wise but super tight over the top of the foot. After a few miles they loosened up but not completely comfortable
A tad thicker material than I was anticipating so might be a concern on hotter days(?), however they’re a great wading pant and option for a fisherman like me who never applies sunscreen. They dry real quick too, enjoying them thus far
Great sandals for the lake or river. Still grippy when wet and your foot doesn’t slip all over. Great traction on the bottom too, overall love and highly recommend them.
Stick with Crocs! Huge design flaw - holes are raised too far above the foot bet so rocks get in but they can’t get out, plus they’re much smaller holes. Crocs expel rocks and debris as their holes are much bigger and placed on the ‘deck’ of the foot bed (ie like a commercial fishing boat where water just runs off the top deck). I used mine for a couple lake days and fishing a small stream and after two days I was so frustrated with taking them off constantly to wash sand and pebbles that I sold them on marketplace right when I got home and went back to crocs. I’m sure they’re great for gardening and grocery store runs but I figured being Sitka they would have field tested these things prior! I own a ton of other Sitka gear and generally pleased but they missed the mark on this design. Materials are good, heavier than crocs as they have hybrid rubber soles, but no complaints on the overall construction.
Overall loaded well with weight. Was disappointed there was no accessibility to anything while frame was on. I’ve had cheaper packs that gave me access to gloves, nets, knives, etc. too small for moose quarters with bone in.
Such a nice garment, excited to have it in the kit, true to size / a little extra room for under layers. Fit and comfort is great. It’s quiet. Hope to have it for years to come
Great Sweatshirt! Lightweight and very easy to move around in Hoodie. So many little things that Sitka does on this Hoodie that are impressive! True to size!
Right away it was obvious that the shell material and camo print has improved. The material is slightly softer and the camo print is more vibrant. The dry suit gasket sleeves are perfect if sized correctly; however, the exterior shell of the sleeve does not have wrist adjustment to pin the excess material out of the way. Not having exterior wrist adjustment is an egregious oversight for a jacket of this price point. The new 2026 edition is bulkier in the upper torso and throughout the sleeves, which turns this jacket into just another bulky hunting coat. The 2025 model was trim and had an athletic cut, which left plenty of space for layering. This new model unnecessarily got bulkier and addressed a problem that did not exist. The 2026 model has an updated hood design and the sizing of the hood has been corrected from the previous 2025 model.
Overall it’s another solid offering from Sitka. Sitka had a chance to make something special with the introduction of the dry suit gasket sleeves, but they dropped the ball with removing key features like the zippered chest pockets, making the coat unnecessarily bulkier, and providing zero exterior shell wrist adjustment.
I love this brand and I specifically love the Delta line, but there is much to be desired with this jacket.
I’m a 3rd generation waterfowl hunter that has been duck hunting since 1993. I’ve worn and beat up a lot of gear over the decades. I hope the Sitka Design Team takes this feedback and makes the Future Delta Wading jacket (2027 and beyond) the perfect waterfowl wading coat. Sitka is so close to making something truly special and I can’t wait to see it.
This shirt is perfect for early season. Thin and breathable, but protects against mosquitoes. I'm 5'8 165 athletic and I ordered a small and fits amazing! My new favorite, I get the hype now!
