Ballpark— a Nalgene for each piece, the pants possibly a little smallerHow packable is the stuff?
I just found a used Sitka Gortex Jacket for $40. Good shape and in my size. I snapped it up. But I don't know exactly which one it is. I don't know why Sitka doesn't place the name of the series anywhere on their gear. Any idea how to identify these? There are a few numbers on the tag but a Google search was not conclusive.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…
Probably best in its own thread in the clothing section, post up some pictures of the jacket and the tags with all the information. I bet we could at least narrow it down pretty good for you.I just found a used Sitka Gortex Jacket for $40. Good shape and in my size. I snapped it up. But I don't know exactly which one it is.

When did they stop using GoreTex? I bought a set about a month ago that is GoreTex.How are these faring now that Sitka stopped using Goretex? Is the new waterproofing as good?
If they have, I don’t think that’s in circulation yet. Considering Goretex is the parent company I think they’ve probably been working on a chemical compliant version of gortex and that’s what we will see in the future.How are these faring now that Sitka stopped using Goretex?

I believe you’re right. Anticipating the PFAS bans. My bad. Sorry for the confusion.If they have, I don’t think that’s in circulation yet.

Is that what the new LE jacket is? Cant tell from the site.
Makes sense.I think LE = limited edition, as in the black color
Thanks Mike. You’re always super helpful with gear feedback. Looks like mountain archery has the dew point in 2XL for $129. The Oak color isn’t my favorite but it’s hard to complain for that price. At least it isn’t neon….Hi—I would consider going up one size if the goal is to get it over a big puffy. I just tried on my Dew Point jacket over what I would consider a big puffy (Patagonia DAS parka) and while I can get it over, it's tighter than ideal.
