Sitka Jetstream…… other jackets that are comparable

[Buckhorn 70]

What other Jackets are comparable to the Sitka Jetstream Jacket? Just curious what is available…….

Stone Glacier Headwall, Kuiu Guide Pro, Kuiu Axis Hybrid

I have a 1st gen Jetstream, Headwall, and the Axis Hybrid. They're all pretty good and I don't have an overwhelming favorite. The Axis is the lightest but also has a thinner fleece interior, the Headwall is quiet and has a decent gridfleece style interior. The Jetstream has that thicker fleece and is probably the warmest (although they're all fairly similar).

Anyone used the First Lite Suppressor……. It looks similar to the Jetstream.

From my experience, there are lots of comparable soft shells out there with similar features and warmth levels but nothing has been able to stop the wind like a Jetstream.

I upgraded to the new Jetstream this year and I was pleasantly surprised at the revision. I was far less impressed with past revisions, enough so that I had kept my first gen for a long time.
