Layering is the key to success when trying to assemble your hunting clothing "system". SITKA creates products that have a specific intended use in mind and fit into various places in the "system". Because of this, SITKA varies the fit across its lineup to ensure an optimal fit for each piece in their layering system. When building your SITKA system, keep the fit guide in mind to make sure you can layer your pieces properly.
SITKA Gear falls into one of three different fit categories; Standard, Performance and Expedition, depending on the intended use of the garment. Details about each category are below.
Designed for minimal layering. Whether an early season piece or already insulated this garment fits to prevent inefficiencies in heat retention caused by dead space.
Designed to accommodate layering for more versatility from early to late season climates.
Designed for maximum layering in the worst conditions. Cut roomier to accommodate additional layering underneath.
