Sitka Jetstream Jacket Review | How Waterproof, Windproof, and Warm?

In this Sitka Jetstream review video we go over how the Sitka Jetstream Jacket performed for me over a seasons use. Sitka Gear makes some of the highest quality hunting clothing out there, and the Sitka Jetstream Jacket is one of the more popular Sitka Jackets.
We also go over the Sitka Jetstream sizing, as well as the limitation of this jacket, along with what I found to be the best uses for the Jetstream Jacket. I tested the Sitka Jetstream to see how waterproof it is, how windproof it is, as well as how warm the Jetstream is. We cover all this in this video.

As always great review, I love mine as well. The sub-alpine version I think is quieter.

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Thanks Bruce! Appreciate that and thanks for the info.... interesting the sub-alpine is quieter!

[@bruceberglund878]

@@BackwoodsPursuit Yeah, I might be crazy but to me, it's just as quiet as the stratus version I had. I will double check and let you know.

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

@@bruceberglund878 thanks! Definitely let me know if you think of it. Thanks!

Would this be a good option to layer over the traverse cold weather hoody? I just purchased the cold weather hoody and mountain pants for layering system. Concerned the cold weather hoody may be too bulky to put underneath this piece. Thoughts? Thanks for all the reviews, they have helped a lot!

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey there! Yeah, this would work as a layer over the Traverse Hoodie. That would be nice and warm together. Thanks for watching!

How does jetstream compare KUIU Rubicon or Guide?

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey there! I haven't had the chance to use those Kuiu jackets, so I can't say for sure. Sorry!

[@jasonfox8020]

@@BackwoodsPursuit ohhhh. Thanks. I was thinking I saw a video of you reviewing each.

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

@jasonfox8020 unfortunately no...sorry but thanks for watching!

Is the jacket in this review before the new update for this year 2022?

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey Jared! Yes, this is the older model. I just got the new update Jetstream and will be doing a review on it here shortly. A couple of nice changes to the new one, one of the biggest being the much quieter fabric. Thanks for watching!

[@joeobryant7084]

Hello, would this jacket be the 90%'s replacement? Thanks for the video

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey there! I'm not sure what you mean by the 90%s replacement? Which jacket are you referring to? Thanks for watching!

[@christophercrockett6661]

Would this jacket work for spring turkey out west? Or would it be too hot when you’re on the move?

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey there Christopher! Yes, this would be great for spring turkey out west! Not too warm, and with the pit zips, able to dump heat when needed. Thanks for watching!

[@christophercrockett6661]

@@BackwoodsPursuit Thank you for getting back to me. They're on sale right now and I'm going to pull the trigger on one based on your review/info. I appreciate it.

How does this compare to the Dakota hoodie?

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey there! I haven't had the chance to test the Dakota, so I can't really say on that. Sorry!

What color is the one you show in the video?

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey there Gary! That one is the previous version (before the recent uodate...which they also updated the colors). I believe they called the one in the video Coyote Brown if I remember right. Thanks for watching!

[@conqueeftadors]

what are your size stats?

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey there! I'm 5'11", 185lbs. I typically wear a size LG in most shirts and jackets. Thanks for watching!

[@swamibr0]

Anyone else feel like that jacket is just loud? Even hearing you move it around during the review the jacket just doesn’t seem very quiet. Great review just not sure I’d want it for bowhunting

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey there! Yeah, it definitely has a little noise to it. It's not too bad, but certainly not a silent piece. I've used it for archery hunting, but if an animal was in really close it could be an issue. Thanks for watching!

[@outdoorsmanofmichigan3858]

I have two, one like the video shows and one in subalpine the one in subalpine definetly has a different face fabric and is substantially quieter. Hope this helps

[@clintonnarcisse3466]

how tall are you and your weight?

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey there Clinton! I'm 5'11" 185lbs. In the old version of the Jetstream (the one in this video) I wore an XL, but in the new version that just came out, I wear a Large. They updated the sizing on the new ones. The XL in the new one was too big on me. Thanks for watching!

[@gggggg19789]

I'm so disappointed with this jacket and brand in total, i think it is overpriced or just all this advertising about this product is big scam, even in light rain after 10 minutes this jaxket soaked through in the colar area in seam place, i knew that this jacket is not 100% waterproof but it says that it is even water repellent, many youtubers in their review says that even after couple hours in the pouring rain it holds up but unfortunately in my case it turned out like not true. maybe particularly my jacket is defective form the factory. great review thought thanks

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey there! Sorry to hear you have had this issue with the jacket. I've not experienced that issue with this jacket as it's been about as advertised in the rain. Thanks for watching though!

[@gggggg19789]

@@BackwoodsPursuit first i thought the fact that black version is more intended to be casual, factory tolerance intends that it is not as waterproof like subalpine

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

@gggggg19789 hey there! I'm not sure if that's how they intended it or not. Thanks for watching!

[@Fuglsanggg]

It sounds really loud

[@BackwoodsPursuit]

Hey there! Yeah, this older version is louder, but the new version is super quiet! Thanks for watching!

@@BackwoodsPursuit awesome I just ordered one for my upcoming spring bear guiding season. So that’s why I was looking at reviews
