Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Layer SITKA Gear for Cold Weather Hunting?

Build your system with three layers:

  • Base Layer (Core Merino or Core Lightweight): Wicks moisture away from skin
  • Mid Layer (Kelvin Aerolite, Traverse Hoodie, or Fanatic Hoodie): Traps body heat
  • Outer Layer (Fanatic, Stratus, or GORE-TEX rain gear): Blocks wind and weather

Adjust the weight of each layer based on temperature and activity level. Walk to your stand in lighter layers and add insulation once you arrive to avoid sweating.

Use our System Builder to create a setup for your specific hunt.

Should I Size Up to Accommodate Layers Underneath?

Usually not. SITKA designs each piece with layering in mind:

  • Performance Fit: Snug, minimal layering—size up if you want more room
  • Standard Fit: Room for moderate layering in your normal size
  • Expedition Fit: Roomy cut for maximum layering—no need to size up

Check the fit type on each product page and use our Size Charts with actual body measurements for the best results.

Is Your Cold Weather Gear Waterproof or Water-Resistant?

It depends on the piece:

  • GORE-TEX (Delta, Incinerator Aerolite, Blizzard Pro): Fully waterproof
  • WINDSTOPPER (Fanatic, Stratus, Jetstream): 100% windproof and water-resistant, but not fully waterproof

Check the technology icon on each product page. If rain is likely, choose GORE-TEX or pack a rain shell as backup.

What Gear Do You Recommend for Sitting vs. Active Hunting?

For sitting (stands, blinds), choose insulated, windproof pieces like the Fanatic or Incinerator Aerolite systems. Walk in wearing lighter layers and add insulation at your stand.

For active hunting (spot-and-stalk, still-hunting), choose breathable, windproof shells like the Stratus or Jetstream and layer underneath as needed. Add a packable Kelvin Aerolite for rest stops.
