SITKA Whitetail System
Being patient while whitetail deer hunting can be challenging, especially when you have to battle ever-changing weather conditions and temperatures. This is why investing in the proper hunting clothing system is so crucial before heading out on your hunt. If you’re looking for whitetail hunting clothing, the SITKA Whitetail System is just what you need for comfort and success.
Like other SITKA layering systems, the Whitetail System incorporates a three-layer system to build on versatile insulation options depending on the time of season you’re hunting deer. From base layers to midlayers and outer layers, the SITKA Whitetail System is built to get you through the entirety of the whitetail season no matter the weather conditions. The SITKA Whitetail System incorporates GORE-TEX®, GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ with WINDSTOPPER® technology, and PrimaLoft® technology throughout the different layers.
Our SCHEELS hunting experts and the SITKA team have partnered together to walk you through the different layers you need so that your SITKA Whitetail System keeps you comfortable from early- to late-season hunting.
SITKA Whitetail: Early- to Mid-Season Layering
Throughout early- to mid-season hunting, versatility in your layers is key. With the early- to mid-season SITKA Whitetail System, you’ll enjoy maximum performance from warmer temperatures at the start of the season all the way to chilly mornings during the rut. Base layers manage moisture in order to prevent bacterial growth, provide odor control, and help conceal your scent while deer hunting. These base layers are also durable enough to act as a standalone piece during warmer days on the hunt. Your middle layers need to provide three different functions—odor control, unrestricted range of motion, and protection from the elements. If you need to add an outer layer for those cold, mid-season morning hunts you’ll want to prioritize quiet, windproof material.

SITKA Whitetail: Late-Season Layering
Once the ground is frozen and all the leaves have fallen, maximizing warmth becomes a hunter’s top priority. During the late-season winter months, sound is highly amplified meaning that hunters need to consider clothing that produces little to no sound. The top and bottom base layers of your late-season whitetail system need to provide warmth while still offering odor control. Your middle layer and insulating layer will stay the same as your early- and mid-season hunt system. However, you’ll want to beef up your outer layer to offer more warmth and protection against the cold weather. Your outer layer late-season SITKA gear will provide warmth, effective concealment at close range, and quiet zippers and pockets.
