Core Layer
The core principle to the Sitka System is layering. The System begins with base layers and builds out. We have developed this foundation for Sitka using the best next-to-skin fabrics that exist: Polartec®. Moisture and high relative humidity next to the skin cause discomfort. Polartec® Power Dry® and Polartec® Power Stretch® keep the skin dry through three complementary mechanisms. 1) The fabric is highly breathable and does not restrict the movement of oisture vapor. 2) “Touch points” on the fabric inner surface draw off the sweat. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric where it spreads apidly for evaporation. Polartec® Power Dry® fabrics move at least 30% more moisture away from the skin than single component fabrics. Include Polartec’s Odor Resistant Technology to effectively combat body odor through the utlilization of encapsulated silver, and you have two systems: Scent Prevention and moisture Management. |

These remarks came in an unsolicited email I just returned yesterday from a 7 day mountain hunt and wore the Sitka gear and it performed extremely well. I had temperatures from 30 degrees with 40 MPH winds to temperatures around 70 degrees and it worked well. The only thing different that I had used was a vest that they had to go along with the 90% series. Thanks for the info,

Ascent Series
The Perfect Pant What is the perfect hunting pant? As with all of our gear, our goal is to design the best product for its intended use. We refuse to cut corners. In developing the new Ascent pant, we created a pant that can withstand over 200 days-a-year abuse from guides like Alaska’s Lance Kronberger. Abuse resistance balanced with versatility for the widest range of conditions possible. A pant should enhance your experience, not take away from it. The Ascent Pant moves with you, resists wind, weather and abrasion while remaining quiet enough to stalk in close. Adopting a guides calculated mentality, the Ascent Pant is engineered for long technical climbs, scary steep descents and years of abuse. The quiet, soft, abrasion resistant, weather-shedding, stretchy fabric allows the Ascent pant to excel in all hunting situations. From whitetails to stone sheep, this is your go to pant! |

90% Series
Soft Shell Technology has inspired multi-seasonal garments that replace the traditional three layer system, creating less bulk and offering more versatility. Traditionally, a shell layer is worn over a insulating layer during downpours, snowstorms, or cold wind. A proven system, but usually reserved for the most punishing of conditions. Soft Shell fabric is the combination of a highly breathable woven outer layer that is bonded to a moisture-wicking lining that provides insulation. This system promises the highest level of air/ moisture exchange unimpeded by coatings, laminations, seals or barriers. Soft-Shell systems pass more air and vapor in one minute than a waterproof breathable can pass in 24 hours. The outer weave is tight enough to block wind and treated with a Durable Water Repellant (DWR) finish to repel all but the worst downpours or snowstorms. Four-way stretch, abrasion and weather resistant, soft shell fabrics are the ultimate outer wear for hunters. The 90% Series is our all-mountain version of soft shell. With a low loft lining, the 90% Jacket provides insulation for reasonably cold days or high output activites. |

Celsius Series
New for 2008, the Celsius Series builds off the strengths of the 90% Series by adding more loft for much colder conditions, and body mapping to keep the loft were you need it. |
