SITKA JETSTREAM JACKET Review - Is It Worth The Cost? - Sitka Gear Review - Hunt Peak
Спорт
This Sitka Gear review goes into full detail of the Sitka Jetstream Jacket and my experiences with it on my New Mexico elk hunt. I talk about all of the features of the jacket, the specs, what I really liked about it, some things I wish Sitka could have done better, and my overall impression. If you are one of those hunters that likes to know every little detail about a piece of hunting gear before you buy it, this review is for you.
I took the Jetstream jacket on a New Mexico elk hunt and was able to learn a lot about the jacket and when it is best to use it. I was able to test the Gore-Tex Infinium of the Jetstream at the top of the New Mexico mountains where the wind was blowing like crazy.
I also touch on the different camo options that the Sitka Jetstream jacket offers. It comes in multiple camo patterns including Subalpine and High Country, but it also comes in 5 different solid colors including black, green, and tan.
The hood on the Jetstream jacket is excellent and doesn't block peripheral vision. This can be a huge problem when you are trying to see to your side but your hood is blocking you, and you don't want to turn your head and risk spooking the animal you're hunting.
The Jetstream jacket can be worn once the weather gets colder in the fall and can be worn until the late season as long as you layer correctly. I have worn it for elk hunting, but also wear it for deer hunting when the conditions are right.
Check out the video to see if I think it is worth the price!

Appreciate your review. I just ordered one.
was hopping to see a full view of you wearing the jacket.
Do you think this jacket with the thin base layer hoody is good for 20-40 degrees and wind?
What pants or bibs did you wear that compliment the jetstream?
Nice review!

Thanks!
As with all my gear I take the approach buy once cry once. Being warm comfortable and able to move while hunting is worth the cost. Do you research and make your choice. Thanks for the information The review and your opinion. Shoot straight

I agree man, it’s always best to get what you really want if you have the money. Otherwise you’ll buy something you won’t like in a year and then end up buy the nicer gear anyway
Great video….do you have videos on your other subalpine items? Also, is there a matching Sitka backpack? If so, which backpack would you recommend? Also, any thoughts on the “Kelvin” Sitka items? Thanks!!

I have videos of the Apex Hoody and Mystery Ranch Pintler, which are both in subalpine. I would highly recommend this pack if you’re doing a backpack hunt where you’ll need to carry your meat back. I have not bought any of the Kelvin items yet
Would you use this to hunt turkey in say 40 degree weather? Our Temps are typically 40-60. 40 first thing in the morning and then warms to 60 as the day goes. My plan was to wear this with a light hoody underneath. It is warms, take this off and go hoody only. Is this too warm for that

I think your plan is spot-on. The jacket is great for 40-degree weather so long as you have some layers on underneath. Then when the temps get up higher towards 60, just take it off and the hoody will be plenty.
Have a friend who swears by this jacket. Hunts though out the seasons. I tried the kuiu guide. Not happy. That’s why I’m looking here. The buy once cry once doesn’t always work. These high end outfits describe and say they do a lot more than they really do. That being said my friend says “ I’ve put it thru the test “ so here I’m am
with the redesign, I am seeing the older version discounted pretty heavily. Did you try the large tall? I am about 6'2" 170 lbs. I am worried the Large is too short, but the XL would be too baggy for my liking. I wondered if the tall was the middle ground as I can find those new still

I am 6’ 185lb and the XL is a bit baggy but that’s how I like it so i can layer if needed. If you’re not a fan of that, I think the L tall would be a great option, I just have never tried it honestly. But you’re a bit taller so it sounds like it’d work well.
Hey so I’m really debating between this and the first lite solitude jacket. What are your thoughts on first lite vs Sitka?

I haven’t worn first lite before so I wouldn’t be the best person to ask. I hear they have great stuff tho. Personally I don’t think you can go wrong with the jetstream but I’m sure the solitude is legit too.
Good vid

Do you think the outside material could take a vinyl logo decal on it? Trying to get these for the small business but need to be able to throw the company logo on it?

Whats different between the Jetstream and the Timberline jackets?

I have not worn the timberline jacket so I’m not exactly sure. I checked out their site and it looks like they discontinued it. However, I looked it up online and it looks like the Timberline was just a lighter version, somewhere in between the Mountain jacket and Jetstream jacket
Just a thought, I am looking at these videos to see if I should buy these clothing items. Has anyone made a video that we should not buy the Sitka, I cant find any. Just sayin

I’m a big believer in buying what you really want one time so you don’t get something you are indifferent about and then end up buying the better option later anyway. I don’t really have any complaints with Sitka except if you’re counting weight very carefully on intense hunts with tons of backpacking and walking/hiking. If you’re doing this, I’d recommend Kuiu as it’s much lighter and also really great gear
The pocket on your sleeve is mostly used for mouth calls.

Buy once cry once. I own a lot of sitka gear now and I've owned a lot of the cheapo stuff in the past...sitka is worth the money...period.

Yup I agree, I have many bins full of redhead and other inferior Camo that I’ll never wear again. I just save it for my kids and let new hunters borrow it
Can’t stand the hood…
