Sitka Fanatic jacket Review | Why the Sitka Fanatic Jacket is Every Serious Hunter’s Must-Have

For dedicated hunters, having the right equipment is essential for a successful hunt on the coldest days. Tailored for those who demand quality and functionality, this jacket is loaded with features designed to satisfy passionate hunters. Personally, as someone who struggles with making it through  cold sits and has tried countless jackets from brands like Kuiu, Firstlite, and Scent Blocker, I can confidently say that the Sitka Fanatic Jacket is the warmest piece of outerwear I’ve worn.

Reasons to Buy:

  • Stay Warm (this is the warmest hunting jacket on the market)
  • Built in Hand Muff
  • Super quiet

Reasons to Avoid:

  • Price (you do pay for all the features)
  • Material (this jacket is a bur magnet)

What makes this jacket so warm:

One of the standout features of the Sitka Fanatic Jacket is its exceptional insulation. With 120-gram PrimaLoft® Silver Hi-Loft Ultra Insulation mapped across the torso and 80-gram PrimaLoft® Silver Hi-Loft Ultra Insulation in the sleeves, the jacket ensures you’re warm even in the coldest conditions. This advanced insulation technology provides an outstanding warmth-to-weight ratio, keeping you comfortable without adding unnecessary bulk. Built in windstopper, no matter how fierce that wind is… consider yourself blocked.

Quiet? Ohh yeah…

Whether you’re stalking deer or waiting patiently in a tree stand, silence is crucial. The Sitka Fanatic Jacket employs the Science of Sound to its fullest, cutting the audible engagement distance in half. This means you can move more confidently without the worry of alerting your game—an invaluable feature for any serious hunter aiming for stealth and precision. To be very clear, this jacket is not made for stalking… this is a tree stand sitting jacket only!

The goods:

The Fanatic Jacket and bibs are perfect for someone who appreciates well-placed pockets. I can easily carry my cell phone, grunt tube, hand warmers, doe bleat, binoculars, and my Stan Onyx release without any hassle. If I’m up for it, I can even squeeze in an Ozonics unit, a DSLR camera, and some Sour Patch Kids. What makes this jacket stand out for me is its built-in buff. Since I’m not a big fan of gloves, this feature allows me to hunt comfortably without wearing them. In this third generation of the jacket, Sitka has thought of everything. A magnet to keep the collar of the jacket away from your string.

Final Verdict:

If you’re someone who shivers at the thought of winter but knows you can’t bag a whitetail from the comfort of your couch, then this jacket is your perfect match. Seriously, as I’ve said before—it’s the warmest jacket you’ll ever own.
