WHAT IS IT?

SITKA Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket

WHAT SETS IT APART?

Lightweight and durable, the SITKA Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket (Vest also available) are made to seamlessly adapt with the wearer’s movement. Designed to breathe and manage moisture, these comfortable items will also repel light precipitation. SITKA uses a body-mapping design process with 100g of Primaloft Evolve active insulation with four-way stretch mobility. This ensures maximum breathability during active moments like fast-paced casting or fighting a big fish, with consistent heat retention during calmer times. Available in sizes M-XXL, the SITKA Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket and Vest come in five colors: Subalpine, SITKA Black, Open Country, Elevated II and Mud.

HOW DO I USE IT? 

Creating the Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket and Vest with a 20D Ripstop Nylon face, SITKA provides anglers a sense of security that their outerwear will hold its own around all the bumps, pulls and scrapes common to the outdoors. This is big for shore anglers traversing brush and branches to reach their spot. Made with durable water-repellent finish, these items include zippered chest and hand pockets and full front zip. The jacket includes a sculpted hood for a streamlined fit without blocking vision.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT: 

Our tackleboxes don’t carry one type of frog, crankbait or jig, right? Soft plastics? Plenty of diversity there too. Similarly, our choice of outerwear merits multiple options suited to a range of conditions. Even if you fish only in your zip code, seasonal weather patterns will vary the need. SITKA has created a solid piece of outdoor clothing with the features needed for performance-enhancing comfort. With its lightweight form and soft, relaxed fit, the Ambient 100 Jacket and Vest will offer good fits under bulkier outer layers. It’s also perfect for cool mornings when you need a little more than a sun hoodie.
