Very good hoodie, as with all Sitka gear it moves nicely with your body. Only complaints after 20 days in the field are: I wish it was a little warmer. Its good down to about 15-20 degrees, same as my Browning Wicked Wings hoodie that was $200 less. I wish it had upper 'wader' pockets, like I think all waterfowl gear should and I wish it had neoprene cuffs like I think all waterfowl gear should. If I had it to do over again I would just get the Grinder hoodie for $100 less. It seems warmer and more comfortable. I am not sure the windstopper works well enough to pay an extra 100 fun tokens and give up some comfort and flexibility. That said, I've got no real complaints...just a few 'wishes'.
This thing is the best thing since sliced bread. The Dakota hoody is so comfortable and fits perfectly to size. This was my first piece of gear from the waterfowl line and definitely won’t be my last!
The Dakota Hoody is one of my favorite pieces of Sitka Gear that I own. Durable, windproof, and cut to accommodate multiple layering options when the temperatures start to dip; the kangaroo pouch is a lifesaver on cold mornings with no gloves when you're running a call! The hood design is much improved over the previous version and the standard vs performance cut really made a difference in wearability for me. I can use this jacket as an outer down to the 30s, a must have for the days when you see a 30 plus temp swing from sunrise to midday.
I have made this my go to piece of sitka gear. I spend 95% of the year out in the field both for work, and waterfowl hunting, and this has become my winter coat. I have worn in in -10 degree hunts where i used it as a jacket layered under appropriately, but not excessively. Goretex Infinium is something that you easily underestimate the value of until you compare it to something without. If youre questioning the purchase of this, go for it, its the best hunting product I own.
Absolutely LOVE this piece!!! Extremely warm when you need it but ventilates well when you don’t (and you typically need both on every hunt!!!) If your a serious waterfowler, you GOTTA have this pullover, PERIOD!!!
This thing is a serious winner for winter. As advertised, totally windproof... extremely warm and comfortable. I've been mostly using it fishing so far this season and I am really into the water resistant durable exterior. I couldn't be happier with this hoody, its more like a fleece jacket version of a hoody. Merino base layer plus this takes me well below freezing. Medium fit me just right. Love that I don't have to use another mid layer under this... its a mid-layer fleece and softshell in one. Highly recommend as worth the cost.
I own a variety of Sitka gear products, but this has become my go-to in the field. It is extremely comfortable and warm and the quality is unmatched. The only thing I wish it had are higher hand warmer pockets, as opposed to the lower ones. Still, it's a 5 Star product, no doubt.
Nailed it. I wanted something that was the "anti-layering layer." IE one layer I could wear over a base layer on cold, windy days without bringing extra layers. I didn't want any down or delicate fabrics. This thing stops the cold Colorado wind in its tracks. Its warm. Its comfortable. Its durable for actual use in the mountains and in the brush and brambles. It isn't too tight, but isn't too baggy. Has a form fitting hood. Drawstring adjustment at the waist. Zip kangaroo pocket with nice thick high-pile fleece to warm your hands. Zippered chest pocket. I love the fact that there are no open pockets to drop items out of. I mean literally this has absolutely every feature I was looking for and nothing more. Extremely happy with this purchase.Pretty much the perfect winter layer for the Colorado outdoors, and the perfect piece for lower output activities like fishing, duck hunting, or just being outside in general. Definitely recommend.
This is my second season with this hoody and all I can say is WOW. This has been the best purchase I have made for waterfowl hunting. If you want to stay warm and dry this is the piece for you whether its early season or late season. With minimal layers you can stay warm especially with the wind stopper technology. For any one interested in trying out Sitka Gear for the first time I strongly recommend this to my hunting buddies because of its versatility as an insulation layer or outer layer. I am 5-11 220 pounds and Large was a perfect fit with still room to layer underneath
I am 5'10" and 150 lbs, picked up the medium and tested it twice so far. It fits perfect. I use it as my outer shell below freezing with a thin columbia fleece and a merino wool base layer underneath. It blocks wind great, hood is tight and good for staying warm. Pockets and inside have the best liners, jacket cuffs fit perfect. Above freezing I was able to wear just the base layer underneath with no fleece in 25 mph wind. This thing is warm. It makes a slight noise but still quiet enough to hunt in.
