kazpilot25 Report post Posted November 27, 2013 I'm looking to get a set of Sitka gear in the open country pattern. I'm pretty set on the Mountain Pants, but can't decide which jacket would be best. I'm looking at the Cloudburst, 90%, or Jetstream. Anybody have some insight on any of these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wapitibob Report post Posted November 27, 2013 I have the 90% and like it a lot. I use it for September Elk and October Antelope. I use either the core or traverse, or both under it depending on temps. It's not a November jacket. I just bought a Kryptek puffy to go under it for later stuff.

LawDog Report post Posted December 5, 2013 I have the Jetstream Jacket. I wore it during recent cooler scouting trips and I was never cold. I plan to wear it for my late rifle hunt (and it is supposed to be really cold this weekend) but I recognize that I'm going to have to wear some warm layers underneath. I don't know if you've tried the jackets on yet but they are definitely "tighter" than most hunting jackets I wore in the past. I say "tighter" in a good way because I don't feel like I have to worry as much about a piece of fabric getting caught on a limb when I'm trying to be sneaky. By comparison, I also have a set of Kryptek camo. The Kryptek jacket is a little baggier (but much tighter than the jackets prior to Sitka's innovation) and the fabric feels like it will be less rain resistant than the Sitka jacket. On the other hand, I think the Kryptek jacket is a bit warmer, it has pockets on the biceps which are nice because I keep my wind checker in there for quick access and I suspect the Kryptek material will hold up longer with the snags of all the plants we come across in Arizona. The biggest reason I got the Jetstream over the 90% or the Jetstream Lite is because it has a hood. I didn't consider the Cloudburst because it's heavier than I felt like I needed for most of the hunting I do (virtually entirely in Arizona). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwarovskiCoues Report post Posted December 6, 2013 i have the 90% jacket and love it, you will sweat in it while hunting in any months before november, on my elk hunt two weeks ago i wore a cotton long sleeve, traverse zip tee, and the 90% and i was warm to be honest, something about the quality is amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
