Everything you need for an all-season kit

[@richardd540]

The ambient is probably my favorite clothing along with mountain pants. I have ambient in black so I can use it outside of hunting, but still use it as my warm layer.

[@SITKAGear]

Stoked to hear you're loving the gear, Richard. 👊

[@DamonBungard]

John, you really need to come hunt with me in the Southeast. You never once mentioned humidity. Let’s solve the problem of how to be comfortable in 85+ degree heat in 90+% humidity

[@shaneg8531]

Great video! I've never been happier with my hunting/outdoor experiences today bc of your gear. It's changed my life of how I layer along with the materials sitka uses.... Best choice I've ever made

[@SITKAGear]

Stoked you're loving the gear Shane.

[@dagging3122]

Took the plunge and bought a heap when I was in the states before heading back home to New Zealand- loving it, the Ambient is hands down the best bit of gear I've ever owned and the Cloudburst rain gear is mint too! Lived in it for a 9 day chamois hunt and it didn't leak

[@SITKAGear]

Stoked to hear you're loving the gear. We appreciate the support.

I never thought about a wind proof layer until I heard John talk about it on a podcast. So i ordered a mountain evo jacket and WOW, what a difference it makes when the wind is blowing. I will always have it with me from now on. Keep the information coming for us please.

Stoked to hear you love the Mountain Evo Jacket. 👊

Taking time to explain the why behind a product or system makes a big difference for customers and it’s appreciated.

[@SITKAGear]

Glad you enjoyed the video, Joseph. Thanks for tuning in! 🤝

[@markus8197]

Barklow is so good at explaining the why’s behind the system. Top guy

[@SITKAGear]

Thanks for tuning in Markus.

Hi John, can you please make a video on layering for extreme cold like winter canada?

[@Elkaholics]

The thing i have learned over the years and is extremely crucial. Is that in order to get best results and have your gear work as its designed to do. Is you gotta start from your base layer and all the way up to your rain gear. If you just throw like a long sleeve shirt on and say some long johns or a cotton hoody your literally killing ur system and not ever going to experience what your gear is designed to do. I learned this the hard way starting out and thought dang my gear isnt good but it was all because of what i was wearing in between layers. I love sitka and elkaholics will always rep sitka. They are truely the best on the market and i also love what the company stands for and represents. John barklow is the king of technical clothing systems and his intellingence when it comes to this shows greatly in sitka products. If your debating buying sitka gear i would encourage you to do so. And this is coming from an unpaid unsponsered company that uses there products

[@SITKAGear]

We appreciate the kind words and continued support fellas. We're stoked you're loving the gear and found a system that works well for you. 🤝

[@Elkaholics]

@@SITKAGear thank you. We have no problem in showing support and recommending products that truely work and are the best bang for your buck. #supportyourbluecollarhunters

[@Elkaholics]

@@SITKAGear question, where can i get a sitka logo sign or poster? We building podcast studio and would love to have one on the wall.

[@austinholland1811]

What about an ambient for people that don’t like wearing full zips? Why discontinue the ambient hoody?

[@gwiltz1123]

Great insight!

[@snowah975]

Does the windstopper top need to be over the static insulation when used in conjunction? That’s the only thing I’ve never heard John discuss anywhere…

[@SITKAGear]

The windstopper does not need to be the outer shell- it can be worn on top or under insulated layers to protect you from the wind. We appreciate the support. 🤝

[@frosty0419]

Rain gear blocks wind too

[@guidedoutdoors2022]

Which button up shirt is he wearing? Need one!

[@SITKAGear]

That specific shirt is discontinued and was called the Harvester Flannel, but similar options are the Grange Flannel and Bridger Flannel.

[@scottyarellano]

Ambient vs Merino 330 for the Wasatch? Anyone have experience with both.

[@SITKAGear]

Hey Scotty, the Ambient and the 330 have similar benefits to adding active insulation to your system. The Merino 330 is going to offer a wicking layer to wick moisture and odor. The Ambient Jacket offers active insulation, and its biggest benefit is its ability to adapt--it traps heat while you're sitting and breathes more efficiently than static insulation while you're on the move.
