I took a look at it yesterday, it’s in great shape probably lived in the closet. My biggest question is what difference if any is there with the fabrics compared to today’s stuff? Also is $190 (original msrp $499) a fair price?
 
I have no experience here but I’ll offer my opinion for what little it’s worth... I’d be inclined to think that’s a good deal. I’m guessing it hasn’t changed that much. However, if given the time, I would call Sitka and ask how much it has changed in 9 years. Maybe even ask their opinion, fully knowing they have incentive to advise buying new. Then go from there
 
You’ll be fine I still rock mine and it’s 9 or so years old. I abuse mine and have no thoughts of upgrading. I’d like to try some kuiu light weight stuff but my sitka cold weather is tried and true and never let me down.
