Build Your SIKTA Big Game System
Because of the moderate to high activity required for Western hunting, your hunting clothing calls for some of the market's most technical and strategic layering systems. Whether you’re glassing open areas or covering miles of rugged terrain, there are three key functions hunters need from their clothing: weather protection, mobility, and breathability. Although building the perfect system relies on your specific hunting scenario, layering with the STIKA Big Game System is a perfect start because of the advanced technology and fabrics.
The SITKA Big Game System incorporates GORE-TEX®, GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ with WINDSTOPPER® Technology, Polartec®, Polygiene®, and PrimaLoft® for insulated warmth and waterproof protection.
With these advanced technologies and fabrics, the SITKA Big Game System allows you to stay completely focused on your hunt. Our SCHEELS Hunting Experts and the SITKA team partnered together to walk you through the different layers you need so that your SITKA Big Game System works from the early through late hunting season.
SITKA Big Game Early to Mid-Season Layering
During the beginning and middle parts of the hunting season, the daily temperatures will fluctuate the most. From cold mornings to warm evenings, your SITKA Big Game System needs to keep you warm at the start of the day but allow for the quick and quiet removal of layers as the temperatures start to rise or your activity level increases.
The SITKA early to mid-season layering options are meant to be swapped out and interchanged depending on the temperature of your hunt and the time of the day.
-
The base layer is meant to keep your core warm and stable throughout your day in the mountains.
-
If needed for colder mornings, your mid-layer adds insulated warmth.
-
Your outer layer is your last defense against the outdoors and provides the waterproof and wind protection needed to stay comfortable during your pursuit.

SITKA Big Game Late-Season Layering
Late-season hunting brings some of the most demanding situations, so hunters need a layering system that can move moisture, regulate temperature, and provide protection from harsh weather conditions.
-
When it comes to late-season hunts, you need to start your layering system with high-performance base layers. Base layers are constructed from textiles that move sweat away from your body and dry quickly to avoid any chill.
-
For your middle layer, you have a few options and each offers a slightly different level of warmth depending on your conditions and layering needs. For your insulating layer in extremely cold conditions, you’ll need a top and bottom that are specifically designed to keep you warm and focused on the hunt.
-
As for the outer layer, if the weather is cold and rainy, you’ll want a top and bottom set that is designed to be waterproof and protect you from the wind.
-
It’s also a good idea to add additional accessories to your SITKA Big Game System—like gloves, beanies, and gaiters—to further protect you from harsh conditions.
