Excellent explanation of the jacket systems and layering with or combining different systems! I really appreciate it. Been eyeballing sitka for waterfowl and was kind of lost coming from deer hunting and their deer hunting systems. Keep up and the good work. Safe and happy hunting to you.

Thanks for the rundown. You did a great job of explaining the system.

I hope Sitka is giving you these garments, your basically a salesman for them. Great review. Thank you.

Thanks FSR ... this really helped.

I use the grinder as a hoody for jumping ponds. It works great for me. I layer it over the half zip traverse t

Going to sd In November for a bird hunt. I have a duck oven. Was wondering what you would recommend for layering with it.

I like the Delta jacket for oyster roast here in South Carolina on the coast. Lol 👍🏼

In case this helps anyone, I rock a baselayer, Grinder Hoody (L), and Duck Oven (L) under the new 2019 Hudson (LT) and it fits great. It's incredibly warm (like probably more than the Boreal w/ layers) and yes you're puffed up a bit when fully layered like this, but it works here for MN and the new Hudson with stretch really cuts down any mobility issues in the shoulders. Cost a bit more than just the Boreal alone, but it's FAR more versatile. Am 6'3, 170lbs FWIW.

If you layer with Sitka and say use the gradient as your warm layer and the delta wading jacket as your wind proofer. Should u upsize on ur outer jacket.

Great job!

What do you think about the layout jacket?

Any idea which camp pattern is Sitka camo pattern?

Just a question what is your favorite Sitka jacket

I can confirm the Fahrenheit jacket layers under the new-model Hudson jacket beautifully. If you add up the insulation weights of both jackets, they add up to the insulation weight of the Boreal jacket, but with FAR more versatility as a layering system, than the stand alone Boreal. I have both the Fahrenheit and Hudson jackets in XL.

And your reviews of the other jackets mirror my thoughts as well. Nice video and explanations. FWIW, I have had a seamstress lop off the sleeves of my Gradient jackets to make them vests. Stellar layering piece since the Gradient material breathes great with no Windstopper or Gore-Tex membranes. I also have her lop off the hoods on my Gradient hoodies because the hood is just a hair too tight with a hat and twists my hat when really turn my head. I’ve mentioned it to Sitka, but they’re gonna do what sells best.

Bro, which pattern would you recommend for duck hunting in Texas? I mainly hunt on lakes and ponds. Thanks for your review videos, very good stuff!

Same here man. I’d definitely use the marsh pattern if you’re looking for Sitka. If not Sitka I’d get something like max-5 or shadow grass blades. You don’t need anything like the Sitka timber or bottomland camo really. Hope this helped!

Love the videos man! So I'm from Iowa, and hunt everything from rivers, timber holes, marsh and ag fields. I primarily run Drake gear, because the Max 5 camo just works so well for our hunting backdrop. I'd love to start to building a Sitka system, but am hung up on the camo patterns. I feel like I'd have to get timber and marsh for the different backdrops I'm hunting in. Is there one camo you feel is more versatile than the other?

@fieldseriesreview

Hey man, Timber is more versatile. You are more exposed when hunting timber/brush scenarios, most ag field hunts you are in a blind for cover. Max5 is a fairly dark camo . I honestly think you’ll be fine with timber or march, but when in doubt I go timber.

I was in the same scenario. What I did was get the duck oven in the marsh camo pattern and my hudson is timber. My logic was if I’m in a marsh I can still wear the Hudson on top if I need to if it’s very cold, windy, raining, etc and still blend in decently. If I hunt timber I can layer differently and throw the Hudson on and be good

Great vid, but could you do one like this for pants and bibs?

Would you size up the DWJ? I’ve got the Dakota Vest and Duck Oven in L and feel like I should size up so that it isn’t constricting.

No, the DWJ is cut with a wider chest and longer arms to allow you to layer under it.

Sitka is perfect for when the sunflower heater in your pit blind runs out of propane and you're a whole 150 yards from your pickup and you don't wanna go in for another 15 mintues.
