Sitka Mountain Jacket - anything new for 2025?

[barrister]

Has anyone heard if Sitka will be replacing the EVO Mountain Jacket that is being discontinued? I would love to see a hybrid between the last two versions of the Mountain Jacket. I'd start with the pre-EVO version, add a hood, and add the underarm breathability concept from the EVO (either the fabric of the EVO or a zipper). The non-windproof back of the EVO is what kept me from getting that version. I understand how that works for some. But, I would love a durable shell that isn't full raingear and isn't as heavy as the Jetstream.

Bumping this in case anyone has heard any Sitka updates at trade shows, etc. As noted, I’m interested if there is a replacement coming for the EVO Mountain jacket.

Also would be interested in your concept. Im still kicking myself for getting rid of my gen 1 Mountain Jacket.

@barrister Stay tuned. "A durable shell that isn't full raingear and isn't as heavy as the Jetstream" is something you should see coming later this year. I don't think I can share more details than that.

Is this the inside scoop from Sitka or work your work with outdoor vitals?

Nothing to do with OV

I’ll say, I would not be bummed if exo starts to dip into the clothing market!

Sounds great! Thanks for the info. I’ll pay attention for updates as the year progresses.

Won’t happen. We’re staying small and focused. Not trying to be the biggest or offer the most.

It’s also appreciated to design good products and keep them available. Other companies send the impression that they have obligations to keep a design staff busy, and if they don’t design something new, retire something that works, they’ll have to terminate the staff,

I was just thinking about this thread from back in February. Are you still anticipating something coming out in this clothing space? Anything new you are able to share? Thanks!

I don't have insider info at Sitka to speak to details, timing, etc.

I just got a sample of a piece, which I mentioned earlier. All of that said, the piece I have is a hybrid of a Jetstream, original Mtn Jacket, and the Mtn Evo.

My sample is a solid color, so I'd expect you'll see that offered in some form.

If you ever collect too many samples of demo gear and need to clear space I can help you with that burden haha.

Are they ending the mountain line? Seems like the mountain pant hasn’t been restocked recently and the green is no longer an option on the website.

Kuiu just released the “alpine” looks similar to the mountain jacket.
