SITKA Layering Systems

SITKA gear is built to last and protect the hunter throughout an entire season of hunting. With SITKA’s innovative layering systems, hunters can choose gear they want to wear depending on the time of year they’re hunting and what their target species is. From early- and mid-season to late-season hunts, SITKA layering systems are specifically built to layer upon one another to keep the hunter comfortable throughout an entire season of hunting with fluctuating temperatures. SITKA’s three hunting systems—Big Game, Whitetail, and Waterfowl—all have hunting clothing designed to keep the hunter comfortable throughout the entire hunting season. From lighter breathable gear for early season hunts, to heavier insulation for late-season hunts, SITKA layering systems will keep you focused on the pursuit.

SITKA Big Game System

The SITKA Big Game System gives hunters the clothing needed to excel in rugged landscapes. From wide open mountain ranges to wooded areas, the terrain and conditions of big game hunts can vary. Hunters will want to choose hunting clothing that can adapt to these ever changing conditions throughout the season. The SITKA Big Game System is built exactly for this purpose. You can choose lighter garments earlier in the season and layer with warmer pieces as the temperatures begin to drop. The GORE™ OPTIFADE™Open Country and Subalpine camo patterns implemented into the SITKA Big Game System are designed to conceal and blend the big game hunter into their natural surroundings. From warm early- to mid-season hunts to colder late-season hunts, the SITKA Big Game System offers warmth, protection, and concealment from the ever-changing weather and terrain you’ll encounter.  




SITKA Whitetail System

The SITKA Whitetail System is built specifically for whitetail deer hunters. Like other SITKA systems, the Whitetail System is designed for the deer hunter to layer their hunting clothing as the temperatures change further into the season. From the warmer early fall hunts to snow-filled late-season hunts, the Whitetail System is designed to keep the hunter focused on the deer and not the temperatures. Whether you’re in a treestand in a heavily wooded area, or posting near the end of a brush line, your hunting clothing can make or break tagging a deer or heading home empty handed. The SITKA Whitetail System offers garments made from materials that are silent and help to conceal your odors. The Whitetail System’s GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Concealment Elevated II camo pattern is specifically designed to conceal and blend the whitetail hunter into the surrounding natural tree and brush landscape.  




SITKA Waterfowl System

From the timber to the marsh, waterfowl hunting conditions and strategies vary far and wide. The SITKA Waterfowl System integrates into any type of waterfowl hunt, offering versatile layering options, refined fits, advanced technologies, and specialized features designed to completely optimize the waterfowl hunting experience. The SITKA Waterfowl System also offers waterfowl patterns scientifically engineered to be concealed from the vision of descending ducks and geese. The GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Waterfowl Marsh and Waterfowl Timber camo patterns help to blend the waterfowl hunter into their natural surroundings. From warmer early-season posts in your gaiters to cold late-season hunts in the blind, the SITKA Waterfowl System is designed for the waterfowl hunter looking to stay warm, comfortable, and dry all season long. 



This season, make sure you have hunting clothing made specifically for your pursuit. SITKA layering systems are meant to protect you from the elements as well as conceal you from the game you’re targeting.
