Review: Sitka Kelvin Down Ultra Lite Jacket

[robby denning]

Rokslide prostaffer Matt Wymer recently pitted the Sitka Kelvin Down Ultra Lite Jacket against the Feathered Friends Daybreak Jacket.

See his findings at the link below and watch Rokslide later this fall when he puts the winner to the real test of an Alaskan Dall Sheep hunt.

This is the review I was waiting for. I like this new Sitka jacket but does it come in solid colors?? I think Black Diamond may also use this Primaloft blend in a couple of their jackets so I may go that route. Anyway, thanks Matt for doing the review.

It does - it comes in an Amber color which is somewhat of a dark mustard color in my opinion. I've got one here and while I like it I would likely prefer a dark charcoal, black or light grey before this color. You can see it on BlackOvis -

Yes, I have the Amber color and agree 100% with ktowncamo in that it would be much better in grey. By the way, this is my favorite new Sitka piece this year.
