Fit of the new Sitka 90% jacket

[conhawa]

Has anyone used the 2014 model 90% jacket? Their website implies that the new version has a more athletic cut....just wondering if I would need to size up. Also...is it quiet enough for early season treestand hunting. I was going to get the ESW jacket....but I just don't think it's versatile enough for the price.

Very very quiet jacket material. I haven't worn it enough to comment on fit but it seems pretty similar to other sitka jackets with the wrist being slightly bigger.

Mine fits same as last years version. I don't upsize any Sitka but the Coldfront as it is likely to go over everything I have with me.

Thanks guys....I think I will pick one up and give it a try.

I concur, 90% runs true to size. However, I found this year's Jetstream to run a size small.

I have this years 90% in L, fits great, I'm gonna love it, I have last years Jetstream Lite in XL, both fit the same

Thanks....I went ahead and ordered one. It sounds like it should work great for early season whitetails here in WV. The 90% jacket is only $20 more than the ESW jacket...but it seems like a much better jacket....and more wind resistant. I think I will get the pants next.

Will you be using both this year, and what conditions will dictate which one?

yes I'm sure I'll use both, previous year I relied on the Jetstream Lite for a light packable wind barrier, I'm thinking the 90% might be a little more versatile and has a very thin insulation layer, also the material stretches where the Jetstream doesn't

wish I could tell you more but I wont know till next week, I'll be in the MT elevation the 9th for a couple weeks and I'll know more then

I got mine today, and I love it. I was amazed at how much I could layer under this jacket. It is super lightweight. Thanks for the help guys.
