Dude for sure. The 75 definitely caught my attention for a long while; with a UL60 being a little not warm enough (good midlayer over a mesh merino base in cold weather maybe with another layer over it) and the Ambient 100 jacket being too warm it caught my attention but getting hands on I was iffy.Cannot wait to try the active insulator. I've been able to use the majority of active insulations out there, and 75-g PrimaLoft Evolve (paired with light, air-perm face fabric + grid fleece) is the most impressive I've found in terms of balancing breathability and warmth for the majority of cool and cold-weather activities.
But I would never have pulled the trigger on the Sitka Ambient 75 if I hadn't stumbled upon a great deal; psyched to see a comparable design whose price won't be ballooned by proprietary camo patterns.
I’m hoping this piece is the perfect balance we’re all looking for in a true midlayer.
