Legacy matters—what you become, what you’re known for, and what you’ve built over time, it’s all important. By now, our legacy at SITKA is closely tied to our bestselling jacket of all time, the Jetstream. For over 15 years, this jacket has embodied our dedication to innovating the hunting industry. And though we’ve iterated on the design, the Jetstream’s core function has remained consistent: complete windproof protection for rugged backcountry conditions. This year, we’re celebrating its lasting impact, and reflecting on how crucial it’s been for hunters across the globe in need of unwavering comfort in the field.

Out in the wild—where you’re most exposed and at the mercy of the forecast—wind can be one of the most devastating conditions you have to face. In a matter of minutes, high winds can deplete your warmth, cut your focus, and ruin a hunt altogether, but WINDSTOPPER® by GORE-TEX Labs isn’t in the business of letting wind get the upper hand. Developed as a shield to lock out the cutting effects of wind, this technology is a force multiplier that protects the body and makes wind a complete non-factor. Wind doesn’t need to be ripping up the stakes of your tent for it to be a menace—a consistent, unrelenting current of cold air can rob you of a great hunt. Arm yourself with WINDSTOPPER® and never get caught off guard by a sudden change in the weather.

Some hunters count every last gram of their pack before hitting the backcountry. Others don’t mind a few extra ounces if it means a couple swigs of bourbon at basecamp. But when you’re hauling your harvest on your back over stretches of wilderness, the feeling of any extra weight gets amplified ten-fold. That’s where the Jetstream LT comes into play. As an even lighter version of our bestselling jacket of all time, the Jetstream LT is equipped with a streamlined build that still brings all the windproof durability to the hunt. Highly functional and plenty protective, this jacket helps you lighten the load without sacrificing your comfort.
