Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket Reviews

Sitka Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket – Versatility That Earns Its Spot in Your Kit

There are pieces of gear that you wear because you have to—and then there are pieces like the Sitka Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket, the ones you end up wearing because you want to. This jacket has officially earned a permanent place in my truck, my pack, and pretty much anywhere I go when there’s a chill in the air. What struck me immediately was how breathable and lightweight it is without sacrificing warmth. It’s not your traditional puffy jacket—it’s smarter. The 100g PrimaLoft Evolve insulation regulates body temp better than anything else I’ve worn. I can hike in it without overheating, then stop and glass without reaching for a heavier layer. It just works with you, not against you. The fit is dialed in. I’m 5’7”, 180 lbs, wearing a large —and it’s spot-on. Athletic enough to move with you, but roomy enough for layering when conditions shift. The hood is sleek and functional, and the whole jacket moves quietly—none of that swish-swish you get with cheaper synthetics. It’s the kind of jacket you forget you’re wearing until you realize you’ve been comfortable for hours. What really sold me, though, is how adaptable it is. This isn’t just a layering piece for the backcountry—it’s perfect for everyday wear, early morning scouting, mid-season sits, or even grabbing coffee on a cold Saturday morning. It looks good, feels great, and performs even better. If you’re building out your system and you want something that punches way above its weight, the Ambient 100 is it. It’s not flashy, and that’s the beauty of it—it’s just a workhorse that shows up every time you need it. Sitka got this one right. Again.

Best Jacket Ever

This is the best jacket I have ever purchased. It is perfect. Stops the wind and keeps me warm despite being really thin. I can also go from outside to inside and feel perfectly comfortable. It packs up really well and is a great base layer when temperatures drop below 45. Everyone needs this jacket.

Ambient 100 jacket

Like how lightweight and warm it keeps you

Great jacket for colder fall

Great jacket for colder fall archery hunting days. It’s lightweight and thin so it does not affect your anchor point while shooting your bow.

Versatile!

I have used this jacket for deer hunting in both Washington State and Texas and duck hunting as part of a layering system as well as a stand alone item and don’t honestly know how I lived without it! It’s also my go to every day jacket! It’s by far the most comfortable jacket I own! I am 6’1” 220 pounds and bought an XXL which allows for some layering.

I bought this jacket for

I bought this jacket for antelope and mule deer hunts in Wyoming. Optifade subalpine pattern looks fine, fit is satisfactory with underneath layer(s), and very light weight. It appears to handle wind well too.

Great jacket!

Warm comfortable mid layer that’s works with any layering system, a definite must have for hunting kits.

Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket

This is my new favorite jacket! I love the light weight yet warm feel. This works well under a hardshell or puffy if needed for real cold days or rain. Fit is spot on I ordered a large at 5’10” 180 lbs. you won’t be disappointed!

Ambient 💯

This jacket is so awesome!! I can’t believe how warm this jacket is for how light it is!! Not to mention I can’t even feel the wind when I’m driving my boat at 40! Plus the hood is very form fitting!!

Ambient 100 hooded jacket review

Love this jacket! Used it this weekend for scouting turkeys and it kept me warm at the same time being breathable. Surprisingly more wind protection than expected. I did get one snag in it from thorns but not terrible. 100% would buy it again and may do so in a diff color. I’m 5’10 and weigh 230lbs originally ordered an xl but exchanged for 2xl being where I like my jackets not to be too snug.

Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket

Great fit. Easily packable piece of gear.

Ambient Hooded jacket in cover camo!!

This camo color is AWESOME!!! The colors blend well, it's definitely turkey season camo to early rifle!! I recommend anyone thinking about the new Cover camo to buy it!!

Best jacket I have ever

Best jacket I have ever had for turkey hunting warm but not bulky.

Ambient 100 Review

My favorite jacket made by Sitka. Great over base layer or used as a secondary layer

Jacket

The jacket is great. Works well in the wind and colder weather with layers while also functioning with temps around 40/50 as a light outerwear. Highly recommend it for areas that have large seasonal swings.

Best Jacket Ever!

I love this jacket super soft not to hot very light weight best jacket for everything farming or hunting

It's a great under layer.

It's a great under layer. It's cozy and fits well. It's super light which is great for my archery set-up. I've been wearing it for rifle season in the winter and it's been awesome underneath my other sitka layers. I haven't been able to test it in September yet, but so far it's been great. It's quiet, light, and warm for what it is. I'm 6'1" and 195lbs, I purchased a Large and it's a good athletic fit.

Wear daily

During chilly mornings and evenings. My favorite of the ambient line but love them all.

Ambient 100

Super comfy, lightweight, warm and the new pattern will be perfect for blacktails!

Just What I Needed

I've been looking for something to add an extra layer on chilly mornings heading into the turkey woods. This jacket is perfect! It is just enough to keep off the chill, quiet and great fit!

Awesome Jacket

Always looking for a light weight jacket to wear and finally found it! This jacket is warm enough for me to walk outside even in Alaska and stay perfectly comfortable!

Love this thing

Sitka nailed it again. Perfect fit, light, and surprisingly warm. Find myself reaching for this coat more than anything else in my closet

Ambient 100

This jacket is awesome by itself and also a a layer paired with another jacket or a Dakota vest

Ambient line is the best

H 5’11 W 240 XL fits perfect. I have multiple ambient pieces and all work great. Perfect for hiking in the mountains or use as a layering piece in the deer stand.

This jacket is amazing. It

This jacket is amazing. It is light and extremely warm. You won’t regret adding this gem to your collection!

Fantastic Tall!

Love this piece. So warm and soft against your skin. Love the stretch. Dries super quick and makes a great mid layer. Thankful for the talls! Fit is great. I’m 6’6” 220 w no gut.

Great piece

Warm, comfortable and super lightweight. Must have.

Best Jacket They Make!

Jacket is very comfortable. Lightweight but so warm.

Nice lightweight hooded jacket, true

Nice lightweight hooded jacket, true to size. However like most Sitka products the zipper is tooo small!

Ambient Jacket

Great quality! Fits great, look forward to using during the upcoming turkey season.

Great purchase. Super lightweight jacket. Perfect for early spring and October. And really super warm allowing it to used as a great layering piece as well. I bought 2.

Ambient 100

It is light wait and warm also super comfortable.

Class of its own

This jacket performs amazingly. It’s very warm when stationary and it breathes as good as anything I’ve ever tried for its warmth. It also just feels like pajamas when putting it on it’s so comfortable. My only very minor gripe is I feel like the front “collar” could be cut a little lower, when the hood is up the zipper is up around your mouth. That’s a preference thing. Performs amazing.

Great jacket

Very comfortable light weight jacket.

Awesome Lightweight Jacket

Perfect for mid 20's to 50 degrees. Very lightweight and stops wind quite well. Fit is very true to size. I purchased a Large at 5'11" and 180 lbs and it fits perfectly.

Not as expected

Fit good, customer service was great! But not near enough jacket for the cost.

Warm, breathable, light, packs small

They really nailed this jacket. It’s better than my heavyweight hoodie in every way. It’s warmer, more breathable, lighter, packs smaller. I’m 6 foot and 190 lbs and the large fits perfectly. Plenty of sleeve length. I also bought the ambient 75 pullover and the fit is not as good unfortunately, the sleeves are much shorter but everywhere else fits fine, might need the large tall in that one.

Very comfortable gear. Highly recommend

Very comfortable gear. Highly recommend and will continue to purchase sitka gear. If I can be of some help to promote let me know. Thank you! Austin Henderson

Great Jacket

I love this jacket. I did experience a tear in one of the pockets, but I notified Sitka and sent it back for repair.

Great addition

Great piece that can be worn in many different temperatures and environments, great wind protection, bought a second one. Was my most popular piece guiding in the Yukon last fall!

Awesome compact jacket

This jacket and very compact and very warm
