SITKA Men's Quiet Gore-Tex Windstopper Insulated Hunting Fanatic Jacket

Very warm, very comfortable. Throw so.e hot hands in there and it's like a oven for your hands. I sometimes keep my call in there, my range finder in the front pocket(not heated) and my release so it's not cold when I shoot.

Husband LOVES this brand. He does winter Texas hunts where thick, warm gear is a must. It is expensive but it is worth every penny! Do not hesitate to buy if you want to stay warm! Sizing is spot on. Super comfortable. Water proof. Wind proof. Cold proof. Quality is amazing. He swears by this gear.

The jacket is as warm as promised on the Sitka site. I wear it at temps below 35F. On longer walking I either attach hot to the backpack or leave the zipper open. The quality is top notch but the prize is steeper than I would like it. Buy once, cry once, love it forever. I saw comments on previous review that it needs a hood. I disagree. Most likely you will have a hooded sweater or light hooded jacket underneath. If not too cold you can just bring a neck gaiter and hat. I also like the fact that I do not need very thick gloves anymore since the built in handwarmer muff works exceptionally well. It also has built in pockets for thermal packs should you ever decide to go out and hunt in subzero conditions. This jacket will keep you warm.

Highly recommend, perfect for winter hunts

This Sitka Fanatic jacket is extremely warm, windproof and quiet. It is pricey but its the best cold weather gear I've bought! I also have the bibs, they too are great! The zipper design is unique in that is not " straight up and down" like every coat I've ever seen. It is angled from your right shoulder to the left hip. This allows for a built in hand-muff type of front pocket (just like a front pocket on most pullover hooded sweatshirts). Having one big pocket instead of 2 single pockets results in your hands staying much warmer and with less movement when withdrawing your hands. I'm able to get away with wearing thinner gloves which makes it easier/faster to use a release when bowhunting. I bought the XL size which fits very well.. I'm 6'0 and weigh 220 with farely broad shoulders. Don't try to wear this coat while walking to your stand... you'll be sweatting like a whore in church!
