Sitka Jetstream Jacket….. Older version vs the newer version

[Buckhorn 70]

Looking on opinions on the Sitka Jetstream Jacket…….previous version vs the newer version from a year or so ago. Which version do you guys with experience prefer. Thanks in advance.

New version is softer and more comfortable but I feel the old one was better wind blicker
My opinion

I have the original version. It is very tight fitting but also very comfortable. It does block the wind really well but I feel like that’s about where the benefits end. I don’t feel like it keeps me that warm when I am cold but it also makes me sweat terribly when hiking. It’s a really nice jacket and I want to like it but just don’t use it much anymore. I much prefer a good wind blocking lightweight puffy.

I have the old version. It sounds like I am the outlier, but I feel like the wind cuts right through it. It also isn't warm at all. I am curious how the new one fares. It seems softer and more comfortable. The fit seems a little different also. Mine is kind of short in the torso. Not terrible but just a little.
