Thanks Justin.

Have to say two thumbs up on the Dewpoint raingear- a really nice balance of durability, features and weight.

I'm about the same size but sized up to XL for the jacket. Kept me bone dry during a monsoon-like downpour at TAC. Great review.

Thanks!

I think I could have used an XL without much problem. With jackets used as an outer layer, better to be a wee bit large, than a wee bit small :)

Unless Sitka has changed the dew point since I bought my set in 2021, looks like you might have the older version? One of the pictures shows the combined pit zip and hand pocket the previous version had…

Not sure. I think I purchased mine in 2021 as well, directly from Sitka.

Mine could be an older version? What's different on the one you own?

Ahh-I think from a standpoint of having stuff in your pockets and not losing- that's definitely a better design.

Can't tell exactly, but looks like the "old" style might have longer pitzips???

Just purchased one of these jackets. I only own one Sitka piece, a Jetstream Jacket, but it’s a great garment. Very sturdy and useful?
The Dew Point was on sale, and though I prefer the solid colors, this one is in the Open Country camo..
Raining buckets here the past few days and I think this thing will come in handy.

Well you got 2 of the best. The Dew Point is super light and packable and waterproof .

How are the dew point pants at blocking wind? Thinking about picking up a pair to go over puffy pants when I'm sitting.
