Their new pattern was just released today and I am a little surprised they’re not getting roasted for it. It’s just a darker subalpine, marketed for areas with dense green vegetation. It’s pretty much a turkey hunting pattern. I get the impression. This was just a chess move to try to get...
Quite possibly, now how they handle it I’m not sure. They might do a decent job keeping any of WL Gores DEI type antics at a distance but couldn’t be for certain. Like I mentioned I personally haven’t seen or sensed it directly with anything coming from Sitka themselves. It’s not to say it isn’t...
I wasn’t aware Sitka was considered “woke”. I wouldn’t be surprised WL Gore however has some potentially “woke” or DEI type nonsense sprinkled into their business affairs. As for Sitka itself being “woke” by any standard I’ve never seen it whether be it on their online presence or...
I’m crossing my fingers it’s just a case that it will take some time to see all the beneficial changes come to fruition, such as those indicated by Barklow. I have a little confidence this might be the case from what my friend hinted to during our conversation. He mainly stated it’s just a lot...
Noticed that as well. Could be a possibility. Have heard a second time now from a trusted friend who works at one of their retail stores that the company has gone through some noticeable changes from the top down.
He said he isn’t sure if it will be changes for the better or worse only time...
I was a First Lite ambassador for them back in the early years of the brand back before they really even had any outerwear when everything was ASAT and Max-1 camo. They used to be such a down to earth company where you were known on a first name basis. The product was awesome, the company was...
I can’t agree enough with the whole “gear pimping” from influencers. It’s gotten to a point be it podcasts or social media some guys just absolutely peddling their brands. I get more of the sense of I’m watching a pro sports player try to convince me if I buy this bow im gonna shoot better or if...
Honestly after heavily using Kuiu, First Lite and Sitka for years and years. I’ve come full circle to believe Kuiu is at the top of the game right now. Between working for a survival school and rigorous western hunting. I’m confident I’ve run all the main brands through its paces. Kuiu is...
I guess only time will tell if there is any truth to staffing changes or any degradation of the product and or customer service. Personally I think they are still the top dawg in the industry for now. As for deals, seasonal sales, etc.. I feel it’s been on par with previous years.
As for the...
My only issue I am currently having with Sitka is its noticeable slip in initial quality and durability.
I’ve been wearing Sitka since its conception. Sitka was once known as the “durable” brand. Maybe a little heavier than Kuiu stuff and a little less breathable than First Lite but made up...
