re: Opinions for new hunting jacket

Got the Sitka stratus pants and jacket and pair it with first light merino base layers. I have been very happy with the quality and performance. The windstopper worked wonders on my Iowa trip recently where the winds can whip you along with the cold.

Don’t regret the purchase or price one bit. Awesome stuff.

Agree Sitka is the best. If you can't swing it look at Kryptek. It's really high quality also and not as expensive. Much much better than what you'd buy at academy. I did see that Academy is carrying some of Kryptek's lower end stuff. Look at the website. It's really nice stuff.
