Traverse Hoodie Reviews

Sitka for ever

I'm probably the cheapest hunter out there! I've used the same clothes for 20 years, I finally broke down and purchased the traverse jacket with matching pants!! Pretty penny but definitely worth it 110% I tried just about every other brand on in the store and couldn't get the fit that I wanted until I tried the sitka brand. Thanks team! I'll update you when I really put this stuff to work this season! Would be nice if the price was just a little nicer on the wallet

Awesome piece of gear

I bought this last fall before a back country November hunt. wore it everyday for 19 days, it was warm and my new favorite piece of gear.

I have two old jackets

I have two old jackets in Subalpine and Elevated colors. I ordered two jackets in a new design and in other colors. Yesterday I tested a new jacket model and was extremely pleased! The pocket on the chest has become much more convenient and roomy. The sleeves of the jacket have become shorter and there is a convenient cutout for the thumb. I really like that SITKA modernizes their models, making them better. Thank you very much for this - Thank you!

Love this hoodie! Fits perfect.

Love this hoodie! Fits perfect. My wife saw mine and I had to order her one!

This is a very warm

This is a very warm jacket and cuts the wind really well. It is slightly too tight in the arm pits like some of these other reviews say. I wish they made a L Tall or even and XL Tall for a guy like me 6’ 2” and 195. I am happy with the XL but it’s not a perfect fit.

Great hoody! Love the full

Great hoody! Love the full zipper. Used several times turkey hunting on cool mornings with temps in the 30's, it was perfect.

Old version was better with

Old version was better with the hood on a collar rather than like traditional zip up hoodies. The material is still great. Sizing is good, except a large is a little tight under the arms but then the XL is huge. A little more room in the arm pits please!

I hunt almost every other

I hunt almost every other weekend of the season. I love it. I have worn it duck, deer, and turkey hunting. If I could change one thing about it it’s the hood. Fits a little weird but sure does not allow any wind in.

Very warm jacket without the

Very warm jacket without the bulk. I wore this in 28 degree weather with 7 inches of snow and wasn’t cold. Also, the jacket was waterproof enough that the snow never made it wet.

I got to use this

I got to use this hoody for one full season and I love it. I'm 5'10' 170lbs athletic build. I have it in a medium. The sleeve length is great bc I do have longer arms. The body size is slimmer but I can still layer fine. I've really got a use for this in my sitka system from layering to only outer jacket. I love it. So quite and warm too

Annoying cut/fit but fantastic quality

Annoying cut/fit but fantastic quality and design. These are cut for un-athletic average joes. Specifically the armpit/shoulder area is super tight. I am 6’ ,175 and athletic. The large is super tight in the armpits, it will take some getting used to, but if I size up the belly will be huge. Since I bought it on sale I’m still very happy with it because of great quality and features. Would not pay full price due to the fit though.

This jacket is killer. I

This jacket is killer. I consider this a jacket but it's truly a next level hoody. I have used it as my outer layer hunting but I mainly use this as my outer layer for everyday use. It is extremely comfortable and very warm. It is quiet enough to hunt in and is a great layer for extreme cold. Depending on what size you choose it can be very versatile. I normally wear medium but chose to get a large to be able to layer beneath. I will be getting a medium to use a mid layer because it would be perfect under any outer shell. I say get one in a size up and get one in your normal size. It will be the most used Sitka piece you own. I am 5'9', 160 lbs.

Finally got me a Sitka

Finally got me a Sitka hoody after Christmas and I absolutely love it. A tee shirt and my hoodie and I’m good to go here in Tennessee

I got this one in

I got this one in Storm for wearing out and about, not for hunting. It's incredible. The medium is a big big on me (5'8, 155, distance runner), but not so much that it looks weird - it just doesn't fit how I generally prefer things to fit. With that said, this jacket is amazing. It's warm enough to wear over a thin shirt when it's between 35 and 55 degrees, which in the DC Metro region, covers a good chunk of the year. You'd need more in the snow, but that's not what this is built for. My favorite part is that there's no 'swooshy' sound when you move - none. It's silent. My least favorite part is the thumb holes - they're poorly designed and cut into the webbing of your thumb when utilized, so that's a function I'll just ignore. No reason to take off a star, though. It's just an option I don't use.

neck, hood and face mask

Awesome hoodie that doubles as a jacket. It will fit the needs of 90% of my hunts. Solid zippers and the fleece lining keeps you warm. Don’t think twice about buying this hoodie. BUY IT !!

Love this piece, if the traverse and jetstream had a baby it would be the perfect jacket.

So far I love this

So far I love this hoodie. The attention to the small details are what make it an outstanding piece of kit. The sherpa lining in the pockets, the venting section under the arms, and the integrated mask/low profile hood are awesome. I wore it on the hike in as well as throughout the hunt. I got a little warm while climbing the tree but the little sweat I worked up wicked away quickly and didn’t leave me feeling damp and cold. There are a few minor points that I would love to see improve. For instance, the lack of a port for a safety line forced me to wear this under my fall arrest harness. In addition, the mask vents warm air straight up into my eyes. Wearing glasses personally this means fogging, for contact wearers likely dry eyes. Finally, the material offers virtually no resistance to the wind. This is great when you’re working hard and need to vent heat, not great when the wind picks up after you’ve cooled down and are sitting in the stand for a few hours. Of course other pieces of kit can fix most of my complaints, but I like to buy and more importantly pack in only what I absolutely MUST.

This is a great made

This is a great made hoody. Not sure why it’s classified as a hoody? It’s more like a jacket that has a hood. I wear it as an outer layer and it has kept me warm in extremely low temps. It sheds light rain very well. I hunted in a lite steady rain recently and when I took the hoody off my next layer was bone dry. I highly recommend the Traverse Hoody. Pair it with the Traverse bibs are your good to go.

Fit information: I am 5'10,

Fit information: I am 5'10, 150, slim build. I ordered a medium and it fits me very well but naturally its a little broad in the shoulders. It doesn't look bad with the shoulder fit, I'm used to that problem with outer layers. Color: I got the lead grey color. It is a very nice slate grey color and there isn't an obnoxious amount of branding on it. (I personally am not a fan of a lot of branding as I don't like my items to get stolen) Comfort: 10/10, like wearing a hoodie/pull-over. Not too heavy. Durability: this is not a Gortex jacket, treat it like you would a normal hoodie/pull-over. Although it is much more snag resistant and durable than a normal hoodie/jacket. The main zipper and the zippers on the pockets are very durable but they aren't too stiff. The zippers are a (very durable) plastic composite which prevents freezing zippers. I have been using it for about a month during winter and haven't had any durability issues. Waterproof: *water resistant* if its light or medium rain, the jacket repels the water nicely but it will start to retain water after a few minutes. However, it dries extremely fast. Being out in rain for 10-15 minutes I haven't ever gotten wet underneath the jacket. I haven't tested it much beyond that. Warmth: maintains body heat well and will warm you up some. It has good & comfortable supplemental heat but it wont compare to a true arctic coat. Wind: this is the stickler. If you are wearing this in mild weather (40-50 F) wind shouldn't be too much of a problem. I am very cold by nature and I tend to only get major wind chills through this jacket when wind-chill is around freezing (32 F) or below. That is with short sleeve shirt and no gloves. If you have a long sleeve shirt and gloves, I would say that this jacket is pretty good for temps around 35 F with low/mild gusts. My biggest piece of advice is don't expect this jacket to be fully waterproof or wind resistant or you will be disappointed. As I said before, compare this to a normal hoodie/jacket that provides extra warmth and durability. However, coupled with the right layers/gear this is a great piece for a lot of scenarios.

Another great Sitka product. I

Another great Sitka product. I am 6’ 210lbs and typically wear a L, which fit here as well. Prefer more of a tailored fit to ensure everything layers correct. The XL just seems to give more room in the gut. Not sure if sizing changed, but my Jetstream jacket from 2015 is XL but fits more tailored. Anyway, love the hoody. A bit snug in armpits, but can stretch that a bit relieve tension. Layers well with lightweight hoody and heavyweight hoody for cold temps. Thumb holes done well.

This is a great product

This is a great product that does everything it’s supposed to and more. We recently had record low single digit and below zero temps with even colder wind chills (-15 to -25) in an area of the country that NEVER gets that cold. I wore this jacket outside for a couple of hours and didn’t get cold at all. I probably wouldn’t use it as my primary jacket without another layer in an all-day tree stand hunt in those temps, but wouldn’t hesitate with an added wind-blocking layer. Another great Sitka product. Caveat: I lived in upstate NY for a while and have felt -40 degree actual temps and even lower with wind chill, so single digits don’t feel all that cold to me anymore. I also generally run very hot compared to the normal person, so my experience may be an outlier. I would still highly recommend it to others, though, as this jacket wasn’t meant for below zero temps. Just wanted to share my experience on the further end of the spectrum as a reference point.
